Light Plane

Overview
The Light Plane is an air unit that comes from the original game, The Conquerors, that can be made in an Airport or Aircraft Carrier. It is sparsely used due to being a downgraded version of the Heavy Plane, with only a $20 price gap between the two units.

Usage
A useful purpose of the Light Plane is to get to unreachable and distant places quickly. Due to their speed, these aircraft are perfect for mounting hit and run attacks on places such as oil rigs or undefended power plants or nuclear plants.

Strategy

 * The light plane is also good for increasing your economy, its speed higher than that of the heavy plane, gives an advantage on maps with an island, since you can mobilize it to place power plants or nuclear plants.Light Planes aren't used as often, as of the February 2021 re-balance update, as Heavy Planes received a speed increase and damage increase, making them much more viable.
 * Light planes can still be used as a cheap aerial meat shield for units such as Stealth Bombers going against Anti-Air Turrets, or cheap defense while your main army is across the map (though Heavy Planes can do the job just as well, for a slightly higher price).
 * Use their speed to your advantage. Mount quick attacks on undefended areas and retreat when the enemy comes. Hit and Run attacks are very effective methods to use your light planes against enemies.

Trivia

 * The Light Plane was in The Conquerors, The Conquerors 2, and The Conquerors Mark 2.
 * The health of the Light Plane is the same as the health of the Heavy Plane but does less damage.
