I recall we had a discussion about "kamikazee" attacks some time in the
distant past.

You would have to price a suicide-capable fighter extremely high to
match
its damage potential. Personally, I dislike the idea of suicide fighter
runs, but that's my bias.

I'd say that they'd have to have the endurance to make the attack.
They're
maneuvering, if anything, more than a fighter simply making an attack
run.
