Figther combat

Howdy!
Combat is brewing in my campaign and now I need all the info on that part of the rules in my brain. I have some questions.
1 unit of Fighters = 1 Flight
4 Flights = 1 Squadron
1 Squadron = 1 BC
Is this right?
So a ship with BC=1 can carry 4 units of fighters?
Fighters seem to be (from what I read on this forum) very powerful. If what I understand above is the correct interpretation, there are a lot of fighter units in a fight, even using small carriers (BC1 or 2). So as fighters have AS values of 1 or 2, in large numbers they are very powerful against ships.
A simple solution can be => 1 unit of fighter = 1 BC. It's more intuitive and lowers the fighter strength by 4.
Cheers,
