Which one is more effective against fighter/bomber in fleet battle?

[mjolnir]

BS (defending)

fighters - flaks (eventually 2 flaks + 2-4 solaris)
bombers who are not noobs - solaris
bombers who are noobs - razors

Cruiser
Against fighters/bombers that are not targeting you - solaris
Against fighters/bombers that are targeting you - primaries
Against any noob - razors

GBs
solaris/primaries (depend on what GB) + missiles as support
razors against noobs again

I can pretty much sign with Mjolnir's post here... The weapons we designed to be anti-fighter (bomber) work best against them, only a fool will allow themselves to be hit by BS primaries, a simple execution of left-up-right-down strafe will render you unhitable...

Furthermore in Fleet battles you really don't hit much unless you are being attacked as a capital ship, for any offensive measures you are limited to solaris... (perhaps a Razor, as there are always nubs around)

It depends on you....If you can hit everything with Razors then Razors. If no I'd suggest Solarises.

Razors are heaven sent

I think it also varies greatly on what ship the guns are mounted on. Razors are gonna be far more effective on a Kusari Gunboat/Destroyer than a bigger, slower boat. (I'm not much of a cap ship pilot, so I dunno which the heavy caps are.)

I also don't think any Cruiser and Battleship weapons are really that effective at anti fighter/bomber. There's a reason Cruiser patrols roll around with two Gunboats and Battleship patrols have two cruisers and two fighters in tow.

Only one I have any experience of fighting bombers and fighters in... and I'm gunna have to disagree. Razors are awesome against pretty much anyone tbh, so long as they don't have a CD.

Well I should have written it differently.

It's more like cruiser primaries/solaris. If you are the one attacked Razors work well, if they are attacking someone else and you need to hit the fighter/bomber (who is not noob) then guns work much better.

EDIT: Or maybe a different explanation.
Razors are kind of high risk weapons, either you kill him and win at once... or you will not do any damage. Guns are "safer" way against opponent of any experience.

while i was playing with the Harvester Cruiser i used regular corsair turrets.

Everyone from a light fighter to a bomber pilot who fought against me will vouch how simple it was to hit them when i used them in a chainfire.
