Well .. TASMs are better than nothing, and to equip TLAMs on ASuW mission is useless. Reality is reality, but DW is DW  |
There's nothing wrong with equipping yourself the way the actual platform would be equipped in that mission.
That being said, I think the best use of the TASM against SAM-equipped ships is to fire at least 8 missiles from a range of between 5-10 miles. You might get away with 6 in some cases, but its chancey. Of course, if you can get that close, a torpedo will get the job done too. I usually only fire the missiles if I know I'm detected and I want to take out the ASROC shooters before they put some serious hurt on me.
The other way to use them would be to hit the capital ships immediately after the escorts have moved out of position due to torpedo evasion. It's basicly a sucker punch, and you hit them with the whole VLS.
