Research missiles, which have quite a long range. They can't miss, assuming they are not shot down by PDC. Make sure to equip a supply storage component or two on your ships, so that they can continue to fire after engines are destroyed. Assuming he does not have a lot of point defense cannons, this will work well. Of course, with 400 ships against 100 ships, PDC will not be much of an issue... Also, include fighters in your fleet to help overwhelm the PDC. Drones can help as well.
Alternatively, research Wave Motion Guns. They have a decent range, and a +30% to hit, which helps when firing at long ranges.
Another option would be to use the same strategy he does... Shield Depleters + Ionic Dispersers are a very powerful strategy to begin with...

My suggestion would be to increase attack % and use long range weapons. I wouldnt use defense % since my strategy would be stay without his weapons range, while being able to score hits myself.

Not including defense bonus components is a bad idea. All it does is make it more likely for the enemy ships to hit yours, which is never a good thing...
