Lightning Fighter
"Emperor, let my aim be true."
Crewed by their skilled pilots, the Lightning Fighter is one of the finest fighters of the Imperial Navy. Soaring over the battlefield , it provides air support to fellow disciples and engages in dogfights with enemy forces. Roaring over the unclean battlefields of sinners and heretics, the Lightning Fighter is one of the greatest tools the Sisters of Battle have to enact the Emperor's will.
Tactics
The Lightning Fighter is a very useful unit, mainly because of its overall good DPS against other fliers, good accuracy on the move, low cost, and good damage against infantry compared to other fliers. However, using it against anything but lower-tier infantry or fliers is not using it to its full potential. Buying two or three Lightnings to scout enemies, perform raids on enemy capping parties, or spot for Exorcists are all viable strategies. However, you shouldn't bother with them unless you can afford to buy them over another more effective unit, such as an Immolator to thin out infantry or reduce vehicles to slag. They are fragile units and will fall quickly if the enemy turns his focus on destroying them. Its uses are more specific and tactical, and it should not be doing heavy fighting, because there are plenty of units who can fairly easily destroy them.
