I and Noam discussed his stealth mechanism a bit prior to this battle -
but he never mentioned fighters then :-/

It's just that the *first* die-roll can kill up to 2 different heavy
fighters, so the "changing targets" logic isn't entirely solid.

The first six has already killed the fighter, which means that your
concept here disallows any re-rolls against fighters (which contradicts
the FB rule rather than clarify it). If the fighter wasn't stealthed, it
also killed *another* fighter... a fighter squadron is targetted as one
single target <shrug>
