Are you looking at certain stats to gauge this? I find it difficult to believe that me and a Ticonderoga CG can fire alot of Harpoons (10) against 1 single Sovremenny and get no results. I know the Sov's SA-N-7's have much more time to deal with the subsonic profile of the incoming missile, but does the Sov radar really pick them up early enough to engage all 10 within that range. And the Sov's SAM's seem to have a high PK against them. Something tells me I should get at least 1 or 2 hits against a single Sovremenny with 10 or more Harpoons. And all of them getting there close to the same amount of time.

10 missiles should be enough to get past a Sov at least part of the time...if the salvo is tight enough. The AI skimmers pause about 2 seconds between each missile shot--so they really can't hit much.
But considering the real-world performance of the Exocet and C-802, I'm surprised that it takes 10+. I really wish we had better data on CIWS performance...
