Re: Jets & Planes but no UAV's here.
The other problem, as YOU, Mr. Former-Squid, should know, is since about WW II almost every "fighter" aircraft made can carry at least a couple bombs. And the few designs that couldn't (the origional F4U-1 Corsair comes to mind) were soon modified to do so.
Aircraft are to few, to expensive, and too (potentially) useful to just sit on the deck because they have no ground support capability (other then their guns).
That said...
I'd like to see the ordnance loads on "fighter" type aircraft reduced to make them less bang for the buck then dedicated ground support models. But I know that ain't gonna happen because it would be WAY WAY WAY too much work.
