I agree that the "attack" classification should be fully implemented to ac that fullfill a ground attack role.......... if their only role is effectively air to ground then they should be made attack only IMO.
I'd go further.
All so called fighter/attack aircraft should (IMO) default to attack mode when ordinance is loaded.
All bomber formations should be switched off when attack mode is selected (Bostons, Ki's, Ju88's, Arado etc etc).
Given above ju88's should be set to Attack mode when torpedoes are selected.
All bomber/attack aircraft should have pilot release of bombs enabled (given above) when attack mode is chosen.
All bomber/attack aircraft should have pilot release of bombs disabled (forced f6) when bomber mode is chosen.
Add attack perks to give 4 categories of perks (Fighter, Attack, Bomber, Vehicles)
