I agree with the first, and not at all with the second. The way fighters are
currently implemented in Freeciv is bizarre. Fighters are almost useless for
air to air combat. If when a fighter attacks a a city it only has to fight the
best defeneder out of the pool of aircraft/Anti Air units like Aegis, it will
be much more useful.
