Fighters are the backbone of any air force. They are used to achieve air

superiority against enemy bombers and fighters They are all-rounders,

being able to fulfill any mission given to them, but excelling at none

in particular.

​

-   They have moderate range, have the best air attack capability

    (without bonuses), and can be effective against ground targets.

    Their primary role is achieving air superiority: destroying enemy

    fighters and denying airspace to enemy bombers.

-   While a specialized air force is ideal, these craft are

    all-rounders. [Interceptors](/wiki/Interceptors "Interceptors") are

    superior at bomber interception (due to a bonus). If research or

    production choices are tight, develop the fighter first, as

    Interceptors need two additional techs before they can be upgraded

    to the turbojet version.

​

-   In a ground attack role, note that the hard attack capability of

    fighters is particularly high, comparable to that of

    [CAS](/wiki/CAS "CAS"){.mw-redirect} and

    [TAC](/wiki/index.php?title=TAC&action=edit&redlink=1 "TAC (page does not exist)"){.new}

    bombers. After air superiority has been achieved, fighters are ideal

    for giving bombing runs an extra punch against armoured targets.

    These units can also be effective against soft targets, but to a

    lesser extent.
