4 FIGHTERS should have a rough time killing a capital because their weaponry isnt designed to penetrate their strong armor.
4 BOMBERS should shread most capitals because they are small fast targets with heavy weapons.
a squadron of 2 fighters and 2 bombers in theory should be able to knock out a capital, especially if the capital doesnt prioritize and efficiently shoot down its targets.
Likewise, if the pilot is experienced, the capital should be able to knock out at least a few fighters if not all of them.
The topic, however, has left its original point, in the fact that this is mainly about Flak Turrets, not Fighter/Bomber/Captial balance. As such, make a new topic, but keep this one on track.
Flaks also, if you already havent figured this out, can be used as a anti missile/torp barrier thanks to its wide explosion radius. As such, take that into consideration in saying "theyre effective" or "Theyre ineffective".
