Air Strikes

[RERomine]

Has there ever been any consideration on making aircraft available for air superiority missions? Off board artillery can be used for counter battery fire, so why couldn't planes be used for air superiority missions?

The reason this came up is, as I mentioned when I started the thread, I pretty much stick to spotters and transports. In a recent battle, I had three spotters and the AI had two Hurricanes. The Hurricanes shouldn't had any trouble with three unarmed spotter planes. In reality, it's unlikely the Hurricanes would have ignored the spotters, especially after the Hurricanes dropped their bombs. Pilots live for an easy kill. Even if the Hurricanes couldn't get a kill out of it, they likely would have interfered with the spotting missions and then return back for their own ground attack missions. Just a thought.
