There should no longer be a separation between “Fighter Planes” and “Attacker Planes”. Just like tanks have no restrictions whatsoever. All types: light tanks, medium tanks, heavy tanks, self-propelled artillery, tank destroyers, flamethrowing vehicles, and self-propelled anti-air all share the same 2 slots. So planes should be the same.
The “Fighter Pilot” and “Attacker Pilot” classes would be removed and there would be a new singular Pilot class and squads, like Tanker. Like tanks, planes would just be spread among various Pilot squads
In gameplay any 2 planes can be spawned like tanks. Two fighter planes, two dive bomber, two medium bombers, two jets, anything and everything and whatever. No different than right now if you happen to have 2 light tanks or 2 heavy tanks at the same time. It’s all just a matter of whatever your teammates happen to spawn. Maybe you have a light tank and self-propelled artillery or two medium tanks; well maybe you have two fighter planes or a dive bomber and medium bomber. You spawn what you spawn. You choose and use whatever plane you want and do whatever job you have to do
Got a problem? Just shoot them down
This also helps to improve plane gameplay by adding a bit more freedom to it like tank gameplay.

I’m partial to this.
Because I remember devs made a short experiment once where it was the case… You could have 2 fighters or 2 attackers at once. They quickly went back on it.
allies benefited from this longer due to a bug with one of the p38 being wrongly classed.
Now imagine 2x P47 in the air. Or 2x Meteors or 2x Ju. at once. and the enemy has no dedicated pilot…
It’s why it got rolled back.
(Normally I’d say hard no, but I want more ppl flying for targets so… it’s why I’m partial to this. I will therefore abstain from voting. Just wanted to add some crucial infos.)

There are 3 answers to pesky planes
- Engineers
- Planes
- Self-propelled anti-air
A team should at the very least have one of those answers covered
Jets may seem daunting but we have to look ahead for this suggestion instead of how it is now. Eventually we may get stronger AA guns for dealing with jets. Now 2 jets don’t seem so intimidating. Even then we can already deal 2 King Tigers so are 2 jets even a big deal. It is what it is.
Also like with tanks when high-tiers are around the opposite team compensates by having the choice to spawn a gift high-tiers, the same can be for planes.
This World War II historical game features three types of pilots: fighter pilots, high-altitude fighter pilots, and bomber pilots. However, none of the pilots can be canceled, as each type corresponds to a specific military unit.
