You can also mod the fighters to fire their own seekers (Andres has done this in the Star Wars mod and it works, oh how it works). We've talked about this in some other thread and came to the conclusion that this tactic can overload PDCs very quickly.

Huh, I always thought it was more of a shotgun effect - the gun fires a bunch of little projectiles and SOME of them are bound to hit!

It depends, I suppose. That's not the way the U.S. Navy's PD cannons work, but then, I'm not sure if anyone knows whether they're the slightest bit effective
