I can't imagine air superiority fighters would serve much of a purpose, especially in pub matches. You take out the at most two enemy dropships and then spend the rest of the match in a vehicle that's not designed to be effective against anything remaining on the field. |

If CCP runs fighters anything like warhawks/starhawks, then fighters will still have at least some limited viability against ground targets as well. |

Given the different vehicle indicator icons in the map legend now, I'd say we might see other aircraft types as well. Say, Light fighter aircraft for air-to-air engagements, and maybe a Medium or Heavy aircraft designed for air-to-ground attacks. |

Because fighters don't strafe run troops now.
But more to the point, my statement was that they would have reduced effectiveness against ground targets (otherwise why ever use a gunship over a fighter), not that they'd be completely ineffectual.
I feel like the better way to go would be to take the SP you'd spend on a fighter and put it into AV (or dogfight with a gunship), use that to take out the enemy aircraft, then call in your own gunship or dropship so that you can effectively participate in the fight past the minute or so it takes you to gain air supremacy. |

I'd say
Light = Fighter
Medium = Multirole
Heavy = Ground Attacker |

I agree with this arrangement. |
