But you realize that your so-called balanced fighter might as well be a "hackfighter" in terms of this discussion, don't you? Sure, I bet its possible to balance something with the Aestival, but what's the point?
The world doesn't revolve around you and your little modding antics, and you can't use that as justification for anything about an in-universe discussion.
Your custom fighter isn't going in WoD, so in terms of an in-universe discussion the Aestival is still ridiculously powerful compared to just about everything else. Just like how you can't use BP's UEF Kentauroi and go like "well hurr SF Dragons aren't that annoying, I can run rings around them with reverse AB". Sure, the kent can do all of the above, and in BP-verse it can probably thrash SF Dragons, but the SF Dragon is still an annoying thing to fight in any retail FS2 fighter (unless you nail it with harpoons).
Now, if you release your mod and the same discussion comes up in your mod's discussion thread, the craft comparison is now fair. But your mod has zero relevance here no matter how much you seem to think it does.
