I believe the RA Perry's Standard Missile was made to be less a of 'god-mode' weapon, so I've gotten used to it. I thought the stock SM was better performing?
It does change tactics - one ASM, torpedo or air attack and the Perry's toast. It's annoying too, because even if it's not a fatal shot, the missile launcher will most probably be knocked out in the first hit, and then you just have to wait for the coup de grace...
Without being silly, does using one of the freighters as a shield work? It might absorb a missile or two and you can then shoot down the Backfire?
It's interesting for a discussion about tactics

The mission is to protect the freighters in the convoy, not use them as shields to survive lol.
There are no other ships in the mission. Just my Perry and 4 cargo ships I have to defend from subs and air threats.
The Backfire fires outside of my 25nm fire control radar range, so I can only wait for the missiles to start showing up on my own air search radar before doing something about it.
