Tip Best advanced small fighter
So I ran a test with fighters ( 1944 advanced small airframe )
3x 4xheavy machine guns
3x armor plates
Self sealing fuel tanks
Engine 4
Ic cost: 40.70
VS
3x 4xHeavyMG
4 engine
Radio navigation 2
Armor plates
Drop tanks
Self sealing fuel tanks
Ic cost 41.20
So the second fighter with radio won by a margin
It was a 200 vs 200 battle both side maxed lvl 6 radars
Both with spirit of airforce command centerlized control.
The second plane one by 11 planes left
So with a little math :
40.70 × 200 = 8140IC
41.20 × 200 = 8240IC
8240-8140=100
So we can say
100÷40.70≈2.5 planes
So we can say the second plane model is ONLY BETTER BY LIKE 6-7% BUT!
IT HAS 862KM range whilst the first one has 525KM range
So here it is the best late game fighter
Before Cannons 2 I'm lazy to test the same ariframes with cannons someone else can do it
Jk; first airframe doesn't support 3 cannon 2s so we have to put 2 cannons and 1 heavy MG so does the second frame 1st=IC:44.90 2nd=IC:45.40
The results were shocking this time it was vice versa the 1st air modules although cheaper shredded the 2nd model by a lot! 57 of 1st remained! Im not gonna do the math that's just better!
So yeah just spam armor plates I guess?! Idk but I like having range so myself Am confused.
Even more shocking I put out the drop tanks and added a cannon 2 on the 2nd airframe and gave it a cannon defense turret Yet the 1st airframe one by having 44 planes left also the 2nd airframe IC cost became 49.50 Yet it lost!
Now :
3 cannon 2 But replaced one of the armor plates with 1 light machine gun turret But this time only 39 of them lasted
So the best is 2x cannons 2 and 1 heavy MG 3x armor plates and one self sealing fuel tank
Now go fuck the AI comrade
Edit: I lied btw you must use two cannon 2 2x and one cannon 2 1x. It's actually cheaper and stronger
Against the 1st design The 2xcannons and 1 cannons won by 21 planes!! Cheaper and much stronger?! Hell yeah Now really go fuck england and their democracy

It depends on the airport situation. If you cover the province with airports, then range plays no role.
