This ain't official > The behavior of Class 1 beams used as PDS firing at Heavy Fighters Its not undefined as such, there is no advantage for heavy fighters against Class 1 beams. The Heavy Fighter gets the extra protection because its better armoured than the standard. The class 1 beam however is a big gun so I don't think the heavy's protection advantage really makes much difference if it hit it. As an analogy:- A 5 inch naval shell would take out the most heavily protected aircraft (if it hit it), while a goal-keeper PDS might not.
