Personally I love the idea of the Flying Fortress from WWII with gunners fending off aircraft, fighters swarming and dogfighting escort fighters, pilots avoding Flak, etc. I like to see that in both the Liberator and the Galaxy for these high-altitude battles.

I want both the lib and the galaxy to have meaningful defensive guns. I think the bes tway to do it is to give the galaxy a top turret gunner in place of the side gunners. Tailgun + swivel gun on top of the galaxy means it will only be used for air defense and it would be reasonably effective air defense.

Air-to-Air specialized aircraft though like Wasps...well I would still want them effective at doing their job but the galaxy should have some reasonable Air defense via gunners.
