Yes and yes. Their worth to you depends on the nation you play and the kind of air war you're waging, but they can do significant damage to attacking fighters and interceptors and reduce losses to your bomber formations.

If you're playing in Europe, definitely yes. In fact, Esc. F will outscale INTs and Multi-role Fighters if the game gets late enough (Hue).

But really, just consider how many of your planes running air superiority gets hammered by enemy TACs running Esc. F.
