Well thing is, Anti fighter guns are suposed to follow this theory: Crap on caps, decent against bombers. now, consider that the weapon most commonly used, (SNAC) CANT be shot down. leaves no option but to try to kill the bomber before they kill you. now, consider this. a bombers range with torps is usualy around 400m on a gunboat. about 700 or so for a cruiser, since its much larger and less nimble. you can fire about 1k out from any battleship, since SNAC you dont have to worry about ammo. on the capital side, the guy cant hit you because you dart out of range of solaris and secondarys... but at same time his primarys rotate slow as heck. (BS secondarys rotate faster than cruiser primarys, for the record) frankly, the bomber has a much easyer time with it, since it can just fire off a SNAC and doge like crazy. the capital CANT, since its slower and cant cover more than one angle of fire. most bombers have the armor to withstand a full salvo or even two, and if your getting hit with primary salvos, your not dodging. one or two cruiser shots every now an then wont even dent a bombers abilitys, wheras a bomber can blow the guns off.
