Attack Aircraft

A ground attack jet is a fixed-wing aircraft outfitted for strikes against land-based targets such as main battle tanks, support vehicles such as tankers and troop carriers, and buildings. They typically carry armaments such as air-to-ground missiles, bombs, and high caliber cannons, but can mount limited stores of air-to-air weapons for self-defense.

Attack jets were first seen in Battlefield 2, successors to bombers in Battlefield 1942 and propeller-driven attack planes in Battlefield Vietnam.

Battlefield 3
Attack Jets in Battlefield 3 are exclusive to the Rush gamemode, but are classed with Jet Fighters in terms of progression and customization.

Battlefield 4
Battlefield 4 formally introduces the Attack Jet as a separate class of vehicle from the Stealth Jet that takes the air-to-air fighter role. Attack jets will have separate customization from stealth jets. Pre-release interviews have suggested that both types of aircraft may be available in certain game modes and maps.
