Just thinking, if you're going to have two fighters hanging out over your troops for a ground mission, wouldn't it make sene to equip them for ground suport?
It would make sense if any Condors that went along for ground mission provides you with a bombing run and a strafing attack. Keeps them useful late game too, so it wouldn't be a no-brainer to scrap them when you get the funding for Foxtrots. This also mirrors the real-world practice where obselete fighters are often repurposed as ground attack aircraft.
