Aircraft

Aircraft are divided into several classes with their own pros & cons.

A gridcore will define the class and what can be fitted on the aircraft, there are a few other points to note:

• As this is WW2 era based, no vtol aircraft are allowed.
• Only use propulsion from designated aircraft mods, jet engines are not allowed.
• Bombers cannot land on carriers to be resupplied. They must go to a friendly/allied Structure for rearm and refuel.
• Bombers cannot be parked on carriers and transported. They must be flown.
• Bombers cannot have fixed weaponary only ball turrets. If you wish to build a dive bomber this will come into the Strike Fighter class.
• Max thrust cannot exceed the aircrafts dry weight.

Planes cannot exceed 3000 blocks, this includes civilian aircraft as well.

• Aircraft Weapon systems
• Aircraft Propulsion systems

Weight is based on dry weights otherwise known as weight before adding fuel and ammo

CIVILIAN [LOGI] AIRCRAFT ARE EXEMPT FROM THE DRY WEIGHT RULE

Fighters are the main A2A class, its main role is to dominate the skies and protect its bombers.

Strike fighters are a mixed class, with some a2a capabilities but mainly to deliver fast air to ground damage or torpedo's to damage ships.

Bombers are the ultimate weapon to delivery a massive amount of damage to large structures and unprotected large vessels. While their a2a defensive capabilities are limited to gunners they generally come with a wing of fighters for protection.

The logistics / recon class is the utility class in your military arsenal, either to move resources or provide long range intel.
