Your approach is a dogfight one.
On a campaign approach, someone must fly those secondary types you despise, but were much more important than pure fighter ones. They decided more battles than any fighter, and they represented life and death for fallen fighter pilots.
Try to read the german float plane missions over the black sea, or the storch scouting on the eastern front. Those guys got more balls and skill than any fighter pilot.
BTW, I agree that the french planes are really badly represented. One or two more types won't hurt, more than any british or american type.
And yes, obsolette or failure planes, like the fairey battle, were the only option available, and were what the pilots flyed at the time.
Trying to win a campaign with what there was available, is the real game.
