Plus I doubt it will be able to fire its own SAMs while shooting a huge spray of water around it.
If its LDS goes up its time for the attacker to fire a missile or two, the target then either "Drops its shields" to shoot back and eats the laser or takes its vampires like a man.

LOL... I think between the two of us, we just defined the psychology of every arms race in history, while simultaneously proving that the only way for a defender to win reliably is to take the initiative away from the attacker. :D
Now, that said... do ships not fire defensive weapons in the rain? I'd think that heavy rainfall'd be a higher saturation level than the defensive system would be. |
