You're kidding right? You've got to be, because the malarky coming from your keyboard has made me laugh until I cried.
Counter-argument: It seems to me that instead of taking the skill OUT of the equation, they (the Developers) have added a higher skill requirement to bomber v fighter combat. Now, it takes more skill to take down that pesky designed-for-space-superiority fighter in your designed-to-take-out-caps bomber.
Hmm...NEXT!
I pose that "those fools in their fighters" now will fly them as they were intended, as the space-superiority role. Granted, it still takes too long to down a bomber before said bomber downs it's intended target, but that's being worked on.
The days of bombers being pwn-mobiles, as you remember them, are gone. Get used to it, adapt, or perish. I know of many (many many) bomber pilots that will still shred fighter formations. I also know that mixed-bag fleets are quite a requirement nowadays.
Back in your "good old days", I can remember SCRA bringing 4-6 Taiidan bombers out of the hanger, and utterly destroying whatever came into their path. Can we do that now? hell no. Why? Because now you need 2-3 bombers and 3-4 fighters for a nice, balanced snubfighter sortie.
Wait..what was that word? oh yeah. Balance. Equality within the ranks of snubfighters, a role for each class. I'll be the first to admit it's not perfect, but it's a helluva lot closer than it was in your "good old days"
So no, you probably will not stop complaining, but there will always be people out there that do nothing but complain, forgoing the opportunity to help build up something for the much easier task of tearing it down. But there will also be those that will take your arguments and deposit them in the appropriate trash-bin at the door.
