just armor the whole plane dammit they're already heavier than air!

Actually, it turns out the best strategy is to strip the plane's armor - light planes need less fuel, which makes them even lighter, and that makes them faster. Fast planes spend less time in enemy airspace, on top of being harder to hit.

Here's my strategic assessment: the best option is to large scale infiltrate your enemy before air raids and let the infiltrators put potatos into the air defence systems barrel's. 🥔 gg, ez.
