1. Since they use the dive bomber multiplier and have a weaker airstrike per plane, making their use against larger targets is limited if used alone.

2. They are '''two''' of the '''three''' fighter-bombers with shoot-down resistance. This makes them useful when needing to maximize fighter power while maintaining some striking power. Jets are the fighter-bombers with the highest AA {{AA}} in-game.

*This usefulness is relative, since they cannot be used in the [[CVCI]].

3. The steel cost can add up very quickly, especially when being equipped on the largest slots of the CV.

*Note that equipping them in smaller slots limits their ability to contribute to air control and damage.

Currently the only way to acquire Jets is by obtaining several special items from Quests or [[ranking]], that are necessary to obtain the [[Kikka Kai]] and produce the [[Jet Keiun Kai]] :
