You are right. I have done this. You just have to pay attention to your launch capacity and your orders for fighter group size. Or, to launch before the battle - you can have a 100-fighter group with one EW fighter giving its bonuses to the entire stack. It would really be nice if Aaron would implement the suggestion to break up fighter hordes during tactical combat, in the next patch.
