Jet planes, are they worth it?

@goesto11 if that is the case, then it doesn't get the fighter bonus like normal fighters. still its +10 (i think) so it's like a rankless reppu

@GuiltyClown I'm pretty sure it doesn't count as a fighter, so yeah, it doesn't increase AS by that much as a true fighter (if it did, then it'd be well and truly OP). The high basic AA stat is nothing to sneeze at, though.

Doing my 6-5 runs if anyone wants to watch.

Right now the biggest problem I see is the touble tap on the air phases. My jets were very low and got emptied on a run and 6-5 isn't even that AA heavy.

@nwrtz What do you mean?

@GuiltyClown

Any map with heavy AA will reduce the jet slot to low numbers or empty it outright. This means the potential damage the jet phase can do is low to nothing.

So far, I don't think the jets are really worth it. In addition to what @nwrtz mentioned about the plane loss, significant damage is rarely dealt by the jet planes during their own aerial phase, even with it being equipped on Shoukaku's 38 plane count slot.

The high plane loss, mainly due to being exposed to enemy fleet AA (twice), can severely decrease the fleet's air power and the aerial strike damage by the jet plane.

I'm probably going to hold off on creating more jet planes, till they either make changes to the jets game mechanisms or when enemies susceptible to these planes turn up.
