Well, SMs are not so concerned about fratricide (it only reduces the 
overall effectiveness, rather than kills craft and pilots...), plus 
they don't have to zoom out the other side after their attack run!
A lot depends on whether you are considering the fighters as 
standing-off and launching ordnance at the target ship, or doing a 
surface-skimming close pass with guns that we so often see on TV and 
in the movies.....?
