Well because you don't receive a warning until the missiles are much closer, which reduces the time you have to dedicate anti missile resources.

For example with an additional 5 seconds of warning I could have the autocannon pumping shells toward incoming missiles as well as firing my sm2 and locking up the ciws in that direction. As it stands you don't get a warning until the missiles are about 3 seconds or so away, by then you have no chance at all. The lame part is that you can watch the missiles being launched pretty far away but can't do anything to engage them because the computer pretends not to see them. The radars and computer lookouts spot them at the same time.

There's no way to manually control the guns and missiles, and in high sea states you have virtually 0 chance at ever intercepting klubs because even if the missiles are detected by radar, the computer automatically bounces the contact between a surface and submerged contact making it impossible to fire at.
