Erm, I don't think so. You can't catch a Thr8 "launch&leave" ship with 
*anything* under vanilla rules, much less with fighters. (Assuming an 
even setup at about sensor range).

They can't hold territory, true, but they make bloody excellent raiders.

Consider if the B-17's had been *totally*invulnerable* to AA and fighter

weapons? Sure, all the bombs wouldn't have hit the pickle barrel, but 
they would have kept coming back and back and back...
