Well, it's not MY fault that the US doesn't build SSASM's. :p
The overall radar parameters need to be tweaked, but given the fact that DW uses a reasonably simple threshold detection, there is no way to have a probabalistic detection of small missiles, which is probably a more accurate reflection of how detection behavior occurs in real life. In other words, I can tweak the radar ranges or missle Radar SL to make detection occur later, but the danger is in making the ships way TOO myopic in other circumstances or the missiles much too stealth.
It's a balancing act, and the radars have never really been addressed.

I think the detection range is fine. That's going to be decided by geometry anyways. One approach to tweak that, though, might be to make actual detection take a bit longer based on the speed and altitude of the missile, and the scan rate of the radar (esp. rotating vs. phased-array). I don't know if that's possible though. Certainly, the last thing we should do is make the detection ranges for supersonic missiles even shorter!
I'm more bothered that the Gauntlet and CIWS systems seem virtually impenetrable--even for the rather poorly-defended Krivak.
I'm OK with a lot of these results...I do think it's fair that the Gauntlet and CIWS combined can handle 7 missiles--although the nearly 100% hit probability of the Gauntlet is hard to swallow. The performance of other SAMs looks OK. I'm also happy that I don't need to re-tweak my missions. =P I do think the CIWS was way too good though, smacking down as many as 4 missiles in less than 5 seconds. You would think 4 missiles would be enough to oversaturate a CIWS.
I got the impression that you were trying to create a flight profile that would make it survivable enough to attack combattants that the Harpoon and TASM couldn't manage (in salvo sizes less than 10, anyways). As it stands, the SLAM-ER is a threat to the same ships that the Harpoon and TASM are, but no more.
