If the fire control really works the way it is discribed.
Even then it does not help much with fighters, you said earlier that the Proportions PDC has enough to hit, why even mention this? It might help you understand, if you realized that I had extensively tested most things in Proportions, and that I have actually seen the things I'm talking about working in practice.
FCC's do work, and they have the effect of making large, powerful, multi-purpose weapons, suddenly able to hit fighter stacks as well as ships and everything else. Since SE4 has hits to stacks able to kill more than one fighter, suddenly heavy weapons are bLasting several fighters per shot.
The reason fighters are powerful in Proportions is that they're usually hard to hit. When FCC's change this, they're suddenly in even worse shape than they were in unmodded SE4, since they do and resist less damage.
