Limiting loadouts does not really stop the single engined fighters being able to access much better performance than they had in real life, because they will still be able to loiter and engage in fights with very low fuel amounts (with the performance that goes with it). The problem will become worse when airframes will be able to be damaged from excessive G-force for the given weight of the aircraft. Being able to fly at low fuel then = hugely beneficial, while at the same time bombers are penalized even more. Their fuel carrying/range ability being even more irellevant, while suffering from their weak airframes even with low fuel.

Agree with you 100% And add to that minimal fighter escort that leave at the first sign of e/a so they can shoulder shoot their team mates in a gound level furball. No wonder bombers have to resort to non-realistic tactics!
