USA Raptor has relatively long reload time when parked on Airfield. Is this ok?

Aircraft reload time comparison:

Raptor             : 8 seconds
Mig                : 8 seconds
Mig + Black Napalm : 2 seconds
Mig + Nuke Missile : 2 seconds
King Raptor        : 2 seconds
Stealth Fighter    : 8 seconds (no change with Bunker Buster)
Aurora             : 5 seconds (including Aurora Alpha)

As mentioned in the Mig topic, not really needed since USA has so much anyway. Although reducing Raptor reload down to 6 secs would make it more attractive to use.

Slow reload times are one of the prime reasons vraptors and migs suck. Now it would be attractive to make them 2 seconds aswell, however that might make them "too good"?

Overall they suck quite a bit with their damage output, but they still can be very effective at hard countering an early Lix or Outpost for example, this does change games quite a bit.

4 or 5 seconds would be reasonable aswell probably.

Looks to me a slight buff from 8 to 6 or 5 seconds looks totally reasonable. It is nothing that will turn the tides. Just makes it a bit more convenient.

Perhaps switch the reload time of Raptors and Auroras, so Raptors get buffed while Auroras get nerfed

Also perhaps either, normalize all Mig weapons to 3 secs?
