A single gunboat eats fleets because of the fleets lack of coordination. A coordinated/skilled group of 4-5 snubs /2-3 bombers/ or a mixed fleet can drop any gunboat. Many people don't realize just how much coordination effects group fighting performance. (Best way too coordinate is use TS)
There's a difference between a well coordinated ship and a gunboat that's too maneuverable and small to hit with anything (LN Gunboat, I know you fly one Wesker ) They need a fix, because a gunboat should not be able to kill a battleship alone. That doesn't make sense. a Cruiser? Yeah, maybe. But not a battleship. Hell, last gunboat I fought in a snub it took 11 people to bring it down. 11, well coordinated and equipped people. It shouldn't take that much to kill one thing unless it's something really really large. It was a Tridente, too, so most of our shots just flew through it.
EDIT: Whoops, wrong account.
Basically, there's no point in flying anything but a gunboat since they're capable of slaughtering every ship class.
