I have several suggestions.
1. Try to arrange your maneuvering so you either attack in a pincer
move
(to split his fire) or so you accelerate through the middle of his fleet
at a closing rate of 18-24 (about speed 12 should be enough). You want
to finish about 6" past the centre of his fleet to maximise beam weapon
coverage.
Have 1-arc class-3s forward with plenty of other weapons in the rear
broadside arcs (AP, AS) offset class-2s & class-1s should do the trick
for beams weapons. For additional punch, mount subpacs in those arcs,
since the engagement time is so short, the one-shot nature is offset by
the survival time.
(Check out my Canberra class Battleship on the link below or at the Ship
Registry).
2. Mount every ship with a 2-shot ER SML or 1-2 ERSMRs to force him
to
maneuver in the crucial 18-24 range band. This should give you enough
ships to close to beam range on the next turn. If he doesn't maneuver;
scratch 1 PT fleet.
3. Respond with a mirror match (not the best option) or a massive
fast
carrier fleet with attack fighters.
