Attack fighter

Defender medium strike fighter

Attack fighter is a combat role performed by certain models of fighters, both aerospace and conventional, with a primary mission of air-to-ground attack.

Description

Attack fighters are medium or heavy fighters mounting heavy firepower, but limited in maneuverability or armor (or both). The short-range nature of their weapons and the relative slowness of their airframes make the units the best suited for ground attack roles.
