The Fighter can use magical arrows the same way the Ranger does. So a Fighter would not really understand a laughing Ranger. He, as Battlemaster, just can add some other goodies to the game with some maneuvers, depending on the situation. It's not always the best to use magical arrows. He can also use Precision Shot with the magical arrows.
The additional Gloomstalker extra attack on the first turn is not as good as Action Surge. Firstly it is on the first turn, and sometimes you don't want extra attacks on the first turn, but later. Secondly Action Surge offers more than one additional attack. What makes Dread Ambusher a good feature is the + 3 to initiative. It is important to always go first especially in Honour mode.
It is new to me that the Ranger (or any other martial class except Fighter) does get a 3rd attack at lvl 11. If that's the case, then a good deal of Fighter superiority were gone.
