@Fujihita: The thing is, the theory about the interceptor better at "intercepting" isnt without an iota of truth. I remember reading someone giving a long ass explanation between the differences about fighter planes, interceptor planes and bombers and how they work in real life.

If my memory serves me right, it was something along the lines of interceptors are used to intercept incoming bombers and not for dogfight (they are not engineered that way) and that fighter planes are engineered for dogfights and so green figher planes shoot down green fighter planes. So far so good. I think this part is true becos you can totally wreck the enemies plane with AS+ and still have alot of red planes left over to bomb you. You pretty much some sort of AACI to clear them out.

So I think that interceptor do... intercept dive bombers.

As for your comment regarding interceptors shooting down fighter planes is not wrong. Just that becos they have an AA stat, doesnt make their primary role shooting down planes. Some planes do have AA stat and are factored into FP calculations. Ro43 is a good example. Shoots nothing down but gave a bunch of AA at double chevron.

There are some other weird red and blue planes out there which also gave more FP than normal but that doesnt mean that they shoot down fighter planes.
