If everyone could pick their favourite plane and grind with that then the game would be a happier place but the way gaijin has set up the monetisation promotes bomb grinding (eg, most premiums releasing now for rank 5 and up are focused on strike/bombing roles like the Tornado WTD 61 or AV-8B NA) and multirole aircraft, so unless you are in a competitive fighter at that BR, you are simply missing out on valuable RP by not carrying a single base’s worth of bombs
Right. Also, the existence of modern(ish) missiles make pure flight performance not as important, and the fact that modern(ish) jets have powerful engines enough that carrying bombs doesn’t hamper the airframe much, means bombing is viable.
