Maybe a better wish for a start is to ask for the single engined bombers to have a third type of icon called an attacker icon. It can be the TBM silhouette or even the IL2. Then the attacker tab roster should be shortened to things like the TBM, SBD, B5N, Ju87D\G, IL2 and related single engined aircraft.
Since our radar icons do not show if a fighter is in "fighter or attack mode", we do not need them listed in the attacker tab. It is not like if you click on the attacker tab it lists your favorite fighter already loaded out in it's attacker configuration that you last used it in while the fighter tab shows it only in it's fighter configuration. I honestly thought early on in the alpha testing that tab meant exactly that. Then I quickly discovered it was a redundant tab that the Favorites tab did a better job for. It was easier to put the IL2 and Ju87G2 into the Favorites with all the "fighter" redundancy in the attacker tab list.
I'm kind of ambivalent about the nature of the bomber icon on the active map. Introducing an attacker icon and placing only single engined bombers and pure attackers like the IL2\Ju87 into the attacker list would clear some of this up before pushing for a change to the bomber icon.
