Shturmoviks as single engine bombers?

[Nat]

As the title says…
I know the Shturmoviks have a points cost so (for example) in the bomber escort mission could you take the 6 ‘free’ ones then have your normal squadron well?

Could you take shturmoviks as both your bombers& as your fighters (then play the numbers card on top?….:))?

Tangent question(s) -if you have bombers as your ‘fighter’ squadron can they also start the game laden?

How would the 12 shturmoviks setup? As a single squadron? but in 3 elements (1 being high cover) or 2 identical squadrons?

… thinking of running my 6 kates as an aditionl 6 shturmoviks just to try this out…

Good question. Originally there was a clear distinction between 2-4 motor bombers and single engine fighters. Fighter bombers are blurring this line now. While Stukas aren’t really contributing a lot of air-to-air capability I had similiar musings about P-47s.
