Fighters are not bad as they are, they are just a bit too cheap. We
are raising the cost for fighters across the board by two each. In
a one off game this won't balance them, but in a campaign game where
you are going to have 20 or 30 fighters destroyed every combat it is
going to make them a bit more painful.
We have also discussed the morale rules and just can't see it. This
isn't a bunch of drafted bozos, this is a group of fighter jocks who
think they are going to live forever.
One advantage we are going to give to fighters, P-Torp fighters are
going to hit on a 3-6. At 42 points for a single shot squadron they
might actually be used. Probably not, but maybe.
We already do ADFC's allow firing at any squadron within 6 inches.
Another possible mod we have discussed is not allowing re-rolls to
fighter squadrons or even doing 9 mass for fighter hanger + 3
mass for a flight deck, you may only launch/recover as many as
you have flight decks.
