Good ideas Swulfe.
I agree that the 109d is a monster, and its KD proves its capabilities.  A light perk is in order.
Not sure if I agree on the other 3. they all have overall K/Ds of 1.1 to 1.2 (Tour-20), but then again they do seem too popular.
I am begining to hate the LA-7 though.  In my one Tempest sortie last tour I was chased by one for 12 to 15 miles.  He stayed 1.2 behind me the entire time.  I thought the Temp should have out run him on the deck.  What's a person to do if they can't outrun a free plane in a 60-70 point perk ride?
Would like to see less of them.
Anyway, good points
