Fighter weapons have always had only 6" range, to the 12" of a C
battery.
The battery designations (not the rules or effects) have been changed
for
the Fleet Book ("FT 2.5") anyhow, so the old C batt is now a Class 1,
the B
a Class 2, A a Class 3; this now means you can also have Class 4 (which
is
the same as your "enhanced A" suggestion above), Class 5 etc.
