(You mentioned firing your burn-outs, so that's mostly be melters you're firing.)

Some fighters engage engine burns to dodge the torpedoes, some fire flak cannons to knock them off course.

Several fighters are punctured by torpedoes, but several are able to evade them (torpedoes are stronger, but generally better against the bigger, less maneuverable ships). The fighter craft keep advancing. You now focus your melters on the sensitive areas of the fighters, such as communications and sensors. This puts several into a blinded state, and even more are rendered unable to communicate. One even gets its engines knocked out. The rest of the fighters split off, allowing the hunters to accelerate toward a cruiser under a screen of protective flak fire.
