You mean you'd need a 6 to score any kills, and then you'd score 2?

I don't think so.

I think the very fact that fighters must be engaged by specific weapons
is protection enough. If you want to make agile fighters harder to hit,
then I'd say Very Nimble Fighters can not be engaged by C bats acting as
PDAF, and ADAF can only engage as if they were PDAF.

Fighter to Fighter engagements should remain unchanged.
