Default v1.35 bug/feature (concerns fighters mostly)

It seems that the Combat To Hit Offense/Defense Plus abilities in VehicleSize.txt file are cumulative. When you have just 1 fighter in a group it gains 2 times the bonuses from these abilities. When you have X fighters ina same group that group seems to get (X+1) times the bonuses from those abilities. For example when you have 10 heavy fighters in a same group this group gets +550% to hit and +660% to defense. This seems to be the reason why ships cant hit large fighter Groups with their main weapons (point defense still hits pretty well..). Ok i understand the reason why capital ships main weapons cant hit fighter Groups very well, but there is also the problem when fighter Groups of different size try to shoot each other. Smaller group has serious problems to hit the larger fighter group and vice versa. Do you think this is intentional and if it is should it be changed? I tested this in the simulator but imo it is the same thing in real combats...
