I think that this is reasonable since the submunitions (proton torpedos)
are a single shot weapon.  It would depend on the *DAF of the target
whether
it's more advantageous to close within 6" or hit in a standoff mode at
6"-12".
If you would lose over 1/2 of your attacking force due to *DAF, the
standoff
mode will provide more hits and preserve your fighter group for further
combat.

It's also a great reason to have your own fighter screens protecting
your ships.

I can relate. Your mind tends to get scrambled during those phases of
your
life.
