Tactical Analysis

 * Fighter-bombers are very versatile, and can be applied offensively and defensively.
 * From longer ranges they can take out Interceptors easily and can outmaneuver bombers at closer ranges.
 * They also have a limited ability to attack capital ships, their proton torpedoes being able to do some damage to critical points, but nothing compared to the bomb salvos of the bombers.
 * Their laser cannons do good damage per shot, but have a lower rate of fire compared to a fighter. However, they can still outgun fighters in a head-on firefight.
 * However, the fighter-bomber's laser cannons overheat more easily than the fighter's, so should not be drawn into a turning fight.
 * A couple of fighter-bombers can take the engines of a capital ship out relatively quickly, freeing up bombers to take care of stronger critical points.
 * Their proton torpedoes are homing, but are easy to avoid as there's only two projectiles per salvo.
