It is going to help, because now you can fire with a focus token and save the focus to modify your attack.

"Attack (Target Lock)" means "you must have a target lock on the ship you want to attack with this weapon". Deadeye lets you treat that as "Attack (Focus)", which means "You must have a focus token to attack with this weapon". Those weapons that don't spend the lock (e.g. Harpoon or Homing Missiles) let you keep the focus token, so you can spend it modifying the attack, or on your defense roll later.

The great advantage to "Attack (Focus)" is you don't have to guess at which target will be in your firing arc when it's your turn to attack. You don't have to call your target; instead just take any target that presents an opportunity.

Deadeye is generally a good elite for any munitions boats that can take it. The only munitions it doesn't help are those that are already "Attack (Focus)", e.g. Proton Rockets. It also helps Synced Turret fire with a focus instead of a lock!
