The fighter is an air unit that is mainly formulated to achieve air superiority by destroying enemy aerial units with ease. Fighters are also capable of bombarding and weakening ground units, however its strike damage is not effective in comparison to other assault aircrafts, such as attackers and bombers.
Fighters also have other capacities that make them an optimal option in aerial warfare. It is one of the fastest aircrafts in the aviation arsenal in terms of flight speed, giving an opportunity to overpower enemy air units swiftly, its production and upkeep costs being considered financially cheap, and its usages being highly versatile.
Despite fighters being known for their advanced proficiency in air battles, it could experience multiple disadvantages and weaknesses. Fighters have low endurance compared to other aircraft units, making it unable to travel far distances without having it to continuously refuel in airports, and it can also be subdued by other enemy fighter planes, anti aircraft, and surface warships.
Fighters are made of one Aircraft Parts, and it consumes 0.2 units of Oil per 5 days. A single fighter costs $4,000,000 to manufacture with an additional consecutive upkeep of $28,000 per 5 days. However, the production price can be reduced by using the Air Supremacydoctrine, which also makes their production faster and enhances their combat statistics.
Pros & Cons[]
Pros
It is one of the fastest aerial units in the game.
Its the best aerial unit for countering and fighting enemy aircraft.
Its fast mobility can reduce the amount of damage inflicted from enemy anti aircraft units.
Cons
Deals very minimal damage to ground troops.
Just like any other aerial unit, prone to damage from other fighters and anti air units.
Endurance is significantly lower than those of other aircraft, making it unable to travel far distances without modified fuel technology.
(1) Mass Production"In order to cover as much ground and sky as possible, we will need as much airframes as we can get. After all, 2 aircraft can be in 2 different locations at once."
(4) Service Streamlining"Much of the costs of running an airforce comes down to maintaining its combat capabilities. Lets try to ease this burden as much as possible."
(1) Special Training"An aircraft can only do so much so it is up to the pilot to get maximum use out of it as possible. "It's not the plane, it's the pilot."
(3) Vertical Formations"With careful coordination, we will allow our fighters to engage the enemy before they contact our other aircraft, which should improve their survivability."
(3) Combined Bombardment"We must not just charge directly into their lines. We need to soften them up first to send their forces into disarray and then we strike!"
Establishing supremacy within the skies is crucial in modern warfare. We must invest into our airforce technologically and innovatively in order to secure domination.

Basic Statistics
Description
Modifier Growth per Level
By utilizing more exotic materials in our turbines, they can withstand higher temperatures hence increasing maximum thrust output.
Operation Description"In order to break through our opponent's fortifications, it is imperative that we coordinate several enveloping strikes into the enemy, shattering their defenses and disrupting their lines."
Fighters are weak against ground units, but are very strong against other air units. In a fight with each other, the one more trained or with better technology wins. Their endurance is very low and it is recommended to increase endurance by researching if you want your fighters to excel.
Due to its role to fight other planes, when you encounter other fighters, the plane experience will play a big role in the result of the dogfight. Other than that, when facing attackers or bombers, experience doesn't really matter much anymore because you will almost certainly win a fight against them.
Fighters can be used in both defensive or offensive roles but are mainly used to counterattack bombers and attackers.
