I'd say that generally anti-fighter weapons are wasted on stikeboat, as
are
any weapons that don't do ALOT of damage. They need to deliver a nasty
payload to be effective.

The Thrust of 4 seems low to me. I think that they would have been more
effective with more maneuverability. Does this match with what you saw
in
this battle?
