I have finally completed my research of what the roster of aircaft what I think should be used in this game. It would introduce Tier 5 fighters and tier 3 and 4 bombers. I think it is a good idea to limit tier 5 fighters and tier 4 bombers to CV6. For balancing tier 4 fighters whould have their performance nerfed until they fit between tier 3 and current tier 4 status. Tier 5 fighters would have the performance of current tier 4 fighters. I also think that tier one and tier 2 fighters should have their performance slightly boosted so that low level players would be encouraged not to use Locals
