If someone owns a Lv.1 prop, its best used for ground attack (even if it's a fighter). It may not last long in some circumstances of a dogfight, but it is worth trying. I don't see how a plane that travels at 1/3 to 1/2 the speed of even the weakest jets could be even remotely competitive. A decent multi or attacker could make 2 or 3 passes before the prop plane even got to the battlefield. They couldn't even catch yellow F-14s to shoot them down, let alone any orange or red targets. And they sure as heck aren't evading SAMs. You'd need massive upgrades just to get them into the universe where you'd be scoring points. Unless they start with 35 upgrade slots I don't see that happening.
