Again, I will state that fighters are nearly useless. You may think that phrase equates to a lower degree of usefulness than I do, but that is not my fault.

When advising others, wouldn’t it be wise to use the words as they was intended and not make up your own definitions

nearly Pronunciation Key (nîr l )
adv.
1. Almost but not quite: The coat nearly fits.
2. In a close manner; intimately: a matter nearly affecting our interests.

Here is a blanket statement from me (which I’ll be happy to prove BTW).
In smaller games (KOTH type), intelligent use of fighters is a game winner more often than not.

And here is another one (also easily provable).
Fighters are a very useful tool in late game if used correctly.

It takes skill and a well thought out strategy (and a lot of micromanagement) to get full use of late game fighters. That few people use them in late game does not mean they are useless. I have personally used them with great success and had them used against me with equally great success (for the other guy).

Fighters are a great tool. In fact fighters are one of the things making SEIV a great strategy game, promoting skill and imagination instead of just brute power.
