Well, they are fairly close damage wise. But as you say, the Richtofen 
can deal far more damage per turn (at a steady rate with out running out

of ammo) than the Bonaparte. Those damage slots it has more of would get

eaten away pretty quick. 

Again though, if the Bonaparte is fleeing the last thing it wants is a 
Richtofen chasing it down. It won't do well in a slug match. If
anything, 
I respect the NSL ships in point blank range slug matches.
