Okay /biz/ I researched turboprop engines and upgraded my first ultralight fighter-bombers from heavy propeller engines to medium turboprop engines. Along with some aerodynamic and fuel-efficiency research I was happy to find that I TRIPLED the operation range of the aircraft from 8 to 25 hexes. That's with the same bombload of air-to-air missiles and 5k precision bombs for ground targets. Dogfighting ability isn't too bad either with a top speed of 505kmh. Do I really need a dedicated ultralight fighter aircraft, or is this design good enough to multipurpose? Figured this was the most appropriate thread to post this in.
