Is that correct? ISTR that PDC was not affected by combat bonuses....I'm probably wrong, but just checking...
Just tested this with v1.49 (with TDM-ModPack).
At maximum range against a Sat stack with ECM-III, the ship with no sensors has a 71% chance to hit with PDC, the one with sensors III has 100% (they fixed the bug of adding weapon bonuses Last in gold didn't they?) So the sensors are useful. I used sats as the PDCs don't automatically fire at them - I guess it could be different for missiles and fighters but you can't see the numbers.
PDC has a 70% bonus to hit according to the Components file.
Hmmm. Will order gold after christmas I think. I'm fed up of being behind the times regarding bug fixes.
