Would heavy fighters dominate single-engine types after the alternate war?
Short answerProbably for land-based forces, but the same result is unlikely for sea-based aviation.
NotesHeavy fighters would probably gain the advantage in land-based development. Sea-based aviation is excluded from the same conclusion, which should not be generalized to carrier fleets. The operating environment therefore separates two aircraft-design paths even when both absorb lessons from the same war. The conclusion is brief and conditional, identifying a likely tendency rather than a universal postwar outcome.
