I just tried a scenario against two Godavari FFG. I used both Harpoon and TASM. In both cases, the missile FOV was pretty narrow. I separated missiles in 1 degree increments for the spread. Some of the ones on the wider FOV (approx. 2 degrees) failed to locate the ships. But the other ones targeted closer were able to find the target ships and steer toward them for the kill. It seems like there is not alot of room for error in missile presets. I also believe the FOV is more narrow than it should be for accuracy.

I know...not a good explanation. But I have no hard numbers, just an observation from a simple test. Still gotta try the Russian missiles.
