Hmmm, not necessarily. Typically what you'll see is that the earlier variants of a particular fighter were strictly engineered for air to air combat. Then later on they were adapted for ground attack roles through the addition of heavier armament, armor, weapons hardpoints, etc.
Through the process of making them more of an all-around weapon, they limited their effectiveness in the very specialized role for which they were originally designed.
