Can we historically reclassify the A21A-3, A21RB, A29B as Strike Aircraft?

Can we please fix and correctly designate Sweden’s early Strike aircraft?
From Fighters to Strike aircraft as is the correct designations.

Swedish aircraft designations indicated their main purpose in the first letter.

Very similar to the standard system kinda, translations aside.

F = Fighter
A = Attack
B = Bomber
R = Recon

Example:

Saab J fpl 22A (Jaktflygplan 22A)
FFVS B fpl 17A (Bombflygplan 17A)
Saab T fpl 18B (TorpedFlygplan 18B)
Saab JAS fpl 39C (Jakt / Attack / Spaning. flygplan 39C)

So, All the Aircraft that start with A should be designated as strike aircraft and receive the same treatment, benefits and rewards as other strike aircraft.

The current aircraft that needs to be re-designated are:

A21A-3 (Attackflygplan fpl-21 A-3)

A21RB (Attackflygplan fpl-21RB)
image

A21B (Attackflygplan fpl-29 B)

This would be the accurate change as these aircraft were designed with the ability to carry munitions against ground targets as their main purpose!

Possible benefit would be the Strike Air-spawn resulting in being closer to the targets.

Thank you for your attention lads^^ Carry on, go drink water/hydrate now. maybe a snacc? Or take a nap. Tank’s for your attention again. Have a great day

We can get them when gaijin finally fixes all the incorrect names for them

Lets start with a removal of the bomber airspawn of the T-18B (57) - definitive a development as specialized ground attack aircraft (like the regular T18B). So technically seen the 2 T-18Bs need a reclassification as strike aircraft first…

war thunder classifications are not their real life classifications
for eg: g91ys irl was made as an ground attack and recon plane, but in game its classified as a fighter

A good way to justify moving their BRs by 0.3 or more depending on how much of a bonus the air spawn gives.

All I’m asking is for the designation, not all strike aircraft nor bombers get Airspawn, that’s why I said they could. if it seemed like a balanced thing.

The A21A-3 Is basically a wyevern but at the same time worse as its engine and armament is worse. So that thing wont change in performance too much, it carries bombs with ccrp so you can use the 50 kg bombs pretty well too to clear out the smaller things or rush a base with the 600kg.

The A21RB would on the other hand probably gain too much from it, seeing as its engine is litterarly too strong for the plane to handle and will rip if you fly straight.

The A29B I am unsure how much it would change, It did carry incendiary bombs irl but they are missing in WT so for now id say that thing not recieve the air spawn either.

Im not trying to make them have a crushing advantage simply getting them right.

The T 18B (57) I agree with fully. That thing does not need the bomber spawn, and it should get the strike aircraft spawn instead, However The T 18B is just a bomber,

Also They arent classed as strike aircraft, Instead to be used against ships and naval targets see the T (Torpedo bomber) designation, The T18B is pretty standard for its level and br, it isnt carrying anything that would shatter anything like the 57mm bofors gun.

Edit: Yes I’m aware of the offensive 20mm Akan m/41s, however those aren’t too special with a lower fire-rate than most autocannons. And the rounds arent overpowered. the single 13.2 Akan m/39A in most cases does more damage.

I think personally that since they make exceptions in spawn alternatives that isn’t really that important as it was before.

Point is i just want this corrected as to have them designated correctly how its then implemented is up to the devs and statistics to deal with if an airspawn is fair for that aircraft.

According to strike aircraft/bombers in rank 6+ or XP-50 which will gonna lose their interceptor airspawn in next BR update.

We can still change A21 and A29 into strike aircraft, but we can keep them without air-spawning.
