I agree that full Aegis behavior is beyond this game. But at least get some basic things right. For instance, in current v1.45, SM-2's Max speed is mach 2.5 according to the in-game reference. Mach 2.5? Are you kidding me? A su-27's top speed is Mach 2.35. It's practically useless.

What makes the matter worse is that the actual in-battle speed is even lower. The missile could only fly at 950 kts, which is mach 1.42 and even slower than some of the cruise missiles.

But if you look at some of the Russian SAM's, most of them are in mach3 or even Mach4-5 range.

That's a real difference.
