Hmm. definately not balanced as, on average, it only requires 2 PDAFs to
wipe out a complete fighter group :-(

How's this for something vaguely radical... Discard *DAFs completely,
replace with the following:
"B" Batts can fire at half range at attacking fighter groups like a
PDAF.
"C" Batts can fire at half range at any fighter group in range like an
ADAF.

ie
"A" batts: anti-ship (12"/24"/36")
"B" batts: anti-ship (12"/24"), PDAF(6"/12")
"C" batts: anti-ship (12"), ADAF(6")

There, look two problems "solved" :-) Now there is a reason to take
something other than "A" batts, and *DAFs aren't wasted space in games
without fighters. Fighters stand a chance but ships can defend
themselves.
