Err... actually, since FB2 came out, KV fighters aren't all heavy any
more - the book lists the Ra'San 'standard' fighter, and the Va'San
heavy fighter. Wandering further off-topic, although they are not
mentioned, the KV could probably also have fast, long-range,
interceptor, etc. variants. But probably not torpedo fighters, (but
maybe a fighter carrying a small MKP pack?).
