Seems logical that it should but I thought wisdom was that it had no effect on bombers, only fighters.
Does anyone know for sure?
Well, Alfred thinks it is important. See post #14 here: https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3624027&mpage=1
No actual ingame statistical tests were done AFAIK
GetAssista,
Small refinement since that post was made.
For a bomber pilot, the defensive skill rating doesn't assist with evading an enemy fighter, whereas it does for a defending fighter pilot. However, for a bomber pilot, the defensive skill rating is factored into the "effectiveness" of the bombers guns firing defensively against the attacking enemy fighters.
I can't immediately think of how a test could be made by a player, without access to the devs debugging tools, to isolate and discern from all the other factors taken into account in combat, this impact.
