Elite or +14/+15, it won't change much. What you really need is to get it BVE.
The hardest ship to spot are Sharn/Gneis (PPro2/O1), and the ability needed to spot their shell is actually superior to the one needed to spot H39 shells for a BB FCS 2.
As soon as you get Bissy/O2, you get an FCS upgrade and unless your BO really sucks ball, you'll spot the shells easily.
