"Dogfighting is the fighters forte. Swift and nimble it dances through the skies peppering the enemy in a hail of gunfire from its twin machine guns."
Fast yet agile, the Fighter is the first Air Force unit available, with moderate damage and low health. They excel at picking off enemy defenders, particularly other aircraft.
Trivia[]
The Fighter, though weak and terrible versus buildings, is surprisingly effective against enemy defenders, and can likewise inflict some serious damage to attackers before they are shot down. Combined with the cost and speed of production, the Fighter can be a quickly added tactical unit to any attacking force.
- The Fighter is the fastest Air Force unit available.
- Compared to all three Air Force units available, the Fighter requires only 1 housing space, compared to both the Bomber and Torpedo Bomber which both require more, needing 3 and 2 housing space, respectively.
- The Fighter is the quickest of all three Air Force units to be produced in the Hangar.
The cost of producing a Fighter is considerably cheaper compared to the other two Air Force units available.
- The Fighter resembles a P-51D "Mustang" fighter plane, which served as an invaluable escort fighter in the European Theater in WWII.
- Interestingly, its role was reversed with the in-game Escort Fighter, a P-38J Lightning. The P-38 would have worked better as the regular fighter aircraft due to its increased capacity, though it lacks the P-51s agility to pick off enemy aircraft in dogfights.
