Well first we should have the AS-4 as a high diver like in Real Life. If you look in the database of Harpoon (the game), you will see that this weapon can be launch from a minimum altitude (i.e. 18000 feet). That means like in real life, you would be able to see the archer (TU-22M) and as well the weapon separation when it is firing the AS-4.
That means we would/should be able to see and track those fast missile coming at us from the start. Even that it is coming fast. But at least we would have better chances.
As well the AS-4 is a very old missile. it is being replaced by the AS-16.
So my recommendation is to change the database for the AS-4 so that it cannot be launch from 2000 feet (like in the North Atlantic convoy scenario
