Had a thought. Wouldn't dazzlers become a more popular weapon/countermeasure in space warfare? One can practically disable an enemy spacecraft by dazzling or destroying it's image sensors. It can't shoot you if it can't aim at you. Just like the use of light strobes on firearms, or the laser pointers used in the Hong Kong protests. Perhaps electronic warfare? I'm thinking this would be a fantastic addition to space warfare applications in general, blinding your opponent as a preemptive strike.

Dazzlers would start a race between measures and countermeasures, so they're not modeled in the game consciously.

Dazzlers would need sensors modelling.

Aren't they kind of modeled in the context of the dueling laserstars that have tiny fast anti laser lasers that destroy the opponents laser mirrors? I mean, a photon emitter that can destroy a camera from naval artillery ranges is just a laser, yes?

Just trying to think of ways of how it could be approximated. You could also be getting positional and targeting data remotely from either un-modeled small satellites, or modeled drones. So I suppose your receiver hardware would be a priority target as much as your sensors. You could have your radio receivers at least hidden under any non conductive armor layers, but I suppose you'd also have to model EM interferance. If you really needed the receiver to be under absolutely all of the armor, could you point-to-point with a neutral particle beam and a detector?
