Dear WarGaming,
I'll get to the point - specializing a multirole fighter is difficult. The reason is that the MRF requirements are for building up points destroying enemy aircraft, and destruction of AA guns/ADA. The secondary mission isn't hard for any kind of MRF, unlike the turret kills mission for some lower-tier bombers.
What seems to be missing is the "multi" part of the multirole fighter.
Could you please change the requirements to include ground targets destroyed? Here's my rationale:
Soviet and Japanese multirole fighters are very good at air-to-air combat, American multirole fighters are really good at ground attack. The German line in the higher tiers is almost exclusively air-to-air, while in the lower tiers actually does pretty well against soft ground targets. The British line of multiroles can do both pretty well. Why penalize the American and British lines for the fact that they can do excellent work in a ground attack role? Yes, the secondary mission of AA guns is ground attack, but the primary mission of the planes is there in the name - multirole fighter.
Please include destruction of ground targets in the primary specialization requirements. That way, the Yaks can kill planes all day, and still get specialized, and the USA Republic line could get specialization from just killing ground targets. No matter what role the plane is best at, you get progress toward specialization - just like in all the other aircraft types.
Thank you for the opportunity to offer suggestions,
