Plane Types
The planes from each nation are divided into three class types: ground attack, fighters and heavy fighters, with each tech tree adopting vehicles of tiers 1 to 10:

Ground-Attack – though lacking in agility and general manoeuvrability they are on matched in their capability of destroying ground based targets
