Would it be possible to invade a hunter overhaul in the game? , let me explain, seeing a ju88 massacred everyone for 10 minutes while we have two planes in the air including 1 fighter is not normal.
their bombs would have to be removed so that they could play their role fully.
On the Moscow and Normandy campaigns, our dear friends the hunters refuse to kill the flying threats, it’s just madness.
and at the same time deleted the xp obtained by pro AA sappers who kill bots instead of focusing planes.

I get lots of aircraft kills in Moscow and Normandy - but it is situational - planes are hard to spot so if you don’t see them then you can waste a lot of time looking for them.
The kill feed it a pretty reliable location system - they are always near to where those kills happened! 
it would be enough just to remove the bombs of the hunters, but in return, if the hunter kills a plane instead of having 205 of score, to have 410 of score, that would motivate them even more.
Most of my kills are with Il-2 (because 20mm cannon!) and P-47 - which are both attackers!
but yes - the CAS loads on the allied fighters are mostly quite pathetic - the P-38 rockets I have found useful, but I have never fielded the P-51C since CBT, nor the Yak-1 - just complete waste of time and a slot for a squad that might be useful!
So yes, perhaps increased score for air kills for them would be a good idea.
Agree in the sense that scores need to be adjusted to promote proper playing of a role. If a fighter kills an enemy aircraft (what it’s supposed to do), a large score should be rewarded. Similarly if a bomber (infantry) kills a tank, or an engineer gets kills with an AT/MG emplacement.
Right now, kills are heavily score-skewed. Objective play and roleplay should be more rewarded than simple kills.
Without ordenance I would just delete all pilots, seriously.
You cannot just stay in the sky and wait for a bomber spawn. The game is too fast paced for that.
And you need to kill something to level squad.
IF hunters would get a separate spawn mechanic, so that their place cannot be taken by bombers I would be fine with hunters that have no bombs. Otherwise it is a terrible idea in my opinion.
In my own experience, there are plenty of motivated fighter pilots around, but yes such games as described by OP do happen and they linger in the mind.
Taking bombs away from fighters is not a solution and would only make people want to play them even less. Fighters need stuff to do, when there are no enemies in the skies.
In my opinion, there is 3 problems for fighters, that need fixing:
- Plane kills don’t give a high enough reward and sometimes you don’t get rewarded at all (enemy pilot commits suicide).
- It is almost impossible to intercept a bomber before they can complete their first bomb run (unless you purposefully linger near the enemy spawn, but nobody does that, cause it’s boring). This sometimes gives the impression to troops on the ground, that fighters aren’t doing their job at all.
- Players without premium have only one vehicle squad. It is not at all rare to get into a team, where everyone only brought a tank or bomber.
