Fighter 'Classes'

[kikatsu]

Heavy fighters should be the bread and butter, but now they are mid sized, maneuverable, has more firepower than a LF but offers no other real advantages. Good in Gallia, where there are almost no VHFs, so the there is a level playing field. Some are the size of VHFs, making them as easy to hit as a more heavily armored ship.

Light fighters are supposed to be interceptors and antibomber in role. They can intercept now with their speed, but the average of 4 guns is bad at dealing with bomber armor. Once you know how to use a LF you can kill most small craft, but it takes a lot longer... advantages are size and speed. Can outrun anything in the game.

VHFs are the staple of the game. Maneuverable, respectably armored, have the best firepower of any small ship. Can kill any small ships, any transport, and gunboats in groups. No real reason not to use one. They out turn and overpower all bombers save for their one shot SNAC kill. Their superior firepower kills light and heavy fighters. Their speed keeps them safe from capital ships.


EDIT:
Yes the Very Heavy label is a tad redundant. Change the names like this

Heavy fighter-> Fighter
Very Heavy Fighter-> Heavy Fighter
Super Heavy Fighter- Very Heavy Fighter (the Very implies a massive armor and powerplant buff, super is rather silly sounding)
Light Fighter= keep it
