Aircraft flights per point?

Poi

Mongoose
This is messed up.

For example, Mustangs are 3 flights per Patrol point. Yak-9s are 2 per Patrol point.

The Mustang is much faster, and has a better Dogfight score.

Every time I look at a stat, I get more concerned with how this was designed (or not, as the case may be)
 
I've looked at all the fighters now, and it's even clearer that something here is wrong.

Dogfight and Damage are the most important factors for fighters.

Damage 1 Patrol fighters
There are 2 Dogfight 5 fighters, the Seafire and the Mustang. The Mustang is faster, the only difference, but you get more than the Seafire.

The 4 Dogfight 4 Patrol fighters are all 2 per point, regardless of speed. That's fine.

You get more D.520s at DF 3 than you do Fulmars at DF 2.

Damage 2 Patrol fighters
The Martlet, Wildcat, Airacobra and Kitty Hawk are virtually identical. Why 4 Airacobras against 3 of all the rest?

Skirmish fighters
You get 3 of each of the N1K1-J, Fw-190 and Hellcat, but the Hellcat is DF 3 whilst the others have DF 5.

Fixes
The numbers must not be based on history, only their stats, so this can be balanced pretty easily.

North American P-51 Mustang (2)
Dewoitine D.520 (3)
Bell P-39 Airacobra (3)
Grumman F6F Hellcat (4)
