===== Aircraft Classifications and Weapon points WIP=====

We have 4 aircraft classes on this server each with their own role. 

There are a couple rules all aircraft need to follow:

  - Can only fit a max of 2 flares
  - You cannot turn fixed guns into turrets by any means. The only exception is helicopters.
  - Aircraft must only use Jets (all SOFL thrusters count as jets), propellers, helicopter blades, and ducted fans. No atmospheric thrusters or other alternative means. (Thruster tonnage can be found at [[guides:planebuilding|Basic Aircraft Building]])
  - Bombers are Bombers not fighters, any found to be using their missiles as AtA missiles will be deleted with no compensation. Plus they must meet the weight minimum

^ Type ^ Weapon Points ^ Thrust ^ PMW Missiles ^
| Fighter (F) | 100 |40T| N/A |
| Strike Fighter (S) | 160 |60T| N/A |
| Bomber (B) | 220 |80T| TBA |
| Helicopter (H) | 100 |10T max (forward support thrusters)| TBA |
