Well, this is what MT actually says that they are (" "Heavy" fighters
.. .. are better protected against attack by armoured hulls, heavier
structural componenets etc."), so this is what I use.

MT continues: "When Heavy fighters are attacked, treat them as if they
had LEVEL-1 SCREENS in operation, ie: rolls of "4" have no effect when
under PDAF/ADAF or Fighter weapons fire."

A case of contradicting rules here, since KV fighters obviously fire
"fighter weapons" (and therefore don't hit on rolls of "4") and equally
obviously ignore screens (which the heavy fighters are "treated as"
having). 

If the explanation after "ie:" hadn't been there, I'd've ruled it like
Denny does, but that explanation together with the PSB description
out-votes his interpretation 2:1 :-/
