Eh. No. You're thinking of the More Thrust rules, but FB1 changed 
that more than ten years ago.

So:

The More Thrust PDAF and "C" batteries needed a '6' to kill MT 
missiles. (There were no "PDS" in More Thrust, BTW.)

The FB1 PDS needs a '4' or better to kill any missile, including an 
MT one. FB1 Class 1 batteries need a '5' or better. A Fleet Book 2 
scattergun kills an MT missile automatically, since it can't roll 
less than "1" on 1D6.

***
FWIW the Mass-3 missile sponges are themselves surprisingly 
vulnerable to long-range beam fire (or suicide strikes from other 
small ships)... and MT missiles ignore them entirely, since unlike 
SMs an MTM (or HM, using the beta-test terminology) doesn't have to 
attack the closest target.
