Doesn't really feel rihgt. Thikning from a cinematic point of view (no,
not cinematic movement, rather the cinema effect) with a dash of real
air fighter tactics. fighters would be making firing passes across the
ship, front to rear or from side to side. So keeping them in one arc is
"unrealistic" anyway. Arguning further, it generally is easier to
attack either the front or the rear of a plane - mainly because of the
difficulty of deflection shooting.

Anyway, all this is just so much PSB - just keep it simple, limit
number of fighters per attacked ship, if you think that would solve the
problem.
