High-Level Bomber (Rev.) - Whenever this unit bombs a ship, it only scores successes on a 6. This unit can't attack Destroyers or Torpedo Boats with it's Bomb attacks. Fighters without an Interceptor SA and all Ship/Installation-based AA gets -1 per die against this unit.
Slightly simpler, as it changes the Fighter (without interceptor) reduction to the same one given to surface AA, while changing the attack vs. DD & TB's.
<added on later:> Of course, it could be made even simpler with:
High-Level Bomber (Rev.) - Whenever this unit bombs a ship, it only scores successes on a 6. This unit can't attack Destroyers or Torpedo Boats with it's Bomb attacks. Fighters without an Interceptor SA and all Ship/Installation-based AA only score successes on a 6.
that could be re-written as:
High-Level Bomber (Rev.) - Whenever this unit bombs a ship, and when enemy units shoot AA at it, successes are only scored on a 6. This unit can't attack Destroyers or Torpedo Boats with it's Bomb attacks. Fighters with an Interceptor SA ignore this SA.
I don't see why a normal fighter would have any sort of penalty besides (Light) Defensive Armament.
When this unit attacks a Ship or when it is attacked by a Ship, successes are scored only on a six. This unit cannot make Bomb attacks against Destroyers or Torpedo Boats.
If you want something with Interceptor that's negotiable.

Good point, fighters are already penalized by (light) Defensive Armament. We also forgot about Installations!
High-Level Bomber (Rev.) - When this unit attacks a Ship or Installation, or is attacked by a ship or Installation, successes are scored only on a six. This unit cannot make Bomb attacks against Destroyers or Torpedo Boats.

You'll have to capitalize Ship both times.
Good point ...

The other option, if we don't want to go re-writing a current SA ... is to create a new one with a new name.
High Altitude Bomber - When this unit attacks a Ship or Installation, or is attacked by a Ship or Installation, successes are scored only on a six. This unit cannot make Bomb attacks against Destroyers or Torpedo Boats.

Maybe the trick is to create a new unit that can be grouped with hi-level bombers in a kiss sense.
Example- Pathfinder - enemy ships roll 2 fewer dice against friendly aircraft with the high-level-bomber ability. If you use this ability, you can only make bomb attacks in this units sector in the air attack phase this turn
Well, since we found a good way to write it ... here's the "house rule":
High-Level Bomber (Rev.) - When this unit attacks a Ship or Installation, or is attacked by a Ship or Installation, successes are scored only on a six. This unit cannot make Bomb attacks against Destroyers or Torpedo Boats.
Then, for any new units we can use:
High Altitude Bomber - When this unit attacks a Ship or Installation, or is attacked by a Ship or Installation, successes are scored only on a six. This unit cannot make Bomb attacks against Destroyers or Torpedo Boats.
