I would forgo buying any fixed wing aircraft,too iffy until enough expertise in using them.
They are just eye candy for the game anyway,
AT Helio's used properly are more effective,and as Andy stated,they can rearmed.
Buy heavy arty with cluster bombs,add some hvy and med. morters in your golf bag way more effective and safer than strike aircraft,and some SAM teams on points of good visabilty to deter enemy air strikes
