Buff the fighters and the gunboats will fail agianst them even more (it already does now).
And Im not touching insta killing thing, cuz I dont think its a problem. But about escorting .. yes it should be possible to kill bombers for fighters in dogfights easier. So thats why I came up with this offer.
All in all this gonna effect group fights of bombers squads and fighter squads, making fighters win against bomber more often. So here is your fighter / bomber balance then fightin each other.
This also would make solaris turrets more useful btw
