One good argument:
If, as we do, you play fast moving vector with
the three counter (past, current, future) for
vectors, go ahead and add in an extra 100% (a
guess, but if carriers bring 6 fighter groups,
then 50% would be my minimum guess at the
added number of ship equivalents in a big fleet)
to the number of counters to handle and move
each turn. NO THANKS. :) Fighters are very
simple as they are. There are probably
loopholes (the high speed ship slipstreaming
hordes of slower fighters). But by en large the
rules work.
