Pretty sure that fighters are light aircraft (you are using irl sizes to compare to a video game, lol)

Vehicle turrets have limited ammo counts to counter their higher damage output, and since all these weapons would do higher damage than that, you can only use as many of them as you can attach to the aircraft, and then you have to go back for more. Similar to how we have systems to limit the frequency of Orbital Strikes, these weapons would be balance by your limited ability to deploy them so that they don't end up being "spammed".
Well, rockets and missiles makes no sense to lock to just fighters, so bomb launchers could be locked to them, like the stealth bombers do in EVE.
Also, you could just have a inventory, and pack ammo into it............

Well rockets don't lock anything at all, and the idea of guided bombs is that they fill the role that an air-to-ground missile would. However, they require the pilot keep the enemy in their sights just like the AtG missiles in Battlefield, thus ensuring that the pilot has to exchange some level of risk for the ability to put the bomb precisely on target.
From how you made this thread, yes it does (not referring to lockon, referring to being able to use it for X vehicle).

Look in the lower left-hand corner. The Gallente Fighter is bigger than an HAV, or at the very least of similar size.
A fighter won't have the tank of a HAV, nor would it have the firepower of one. My point still stands.

My point still stands. Heavy is a classification of size, though, not necessarily firepower. It seems like that right now because the only vehicles we have are jeeps and tanks, but the Heavy, Medium, and Light classifications could easily cover other vehicles within the same size class. As well, if an aircraft that large would be considered Light, how do you explain the smaller Dropship being classified as Medium?
No, it isn't. sizes have to do with tank mainly, and then firepower. It has nothing to do with size. Otherwise, DS's would be Heavy vehicles, as they are as big as HAV's.
