Fighters are now unbalanced

[Q]

I don't know if this changed since Version 1.35 or earlier, but the fighters are now extremly hard to hit: Even with point defense cannons you get only about 70% hit chance at distance 1 (Ships and fighters use maximum tech levels for ECM and combat sensors)! Even worse with standard weapons: you only get 1% hit chance at range 1!!
Did anyone else notice this and inform MM?
