Thanks; will test it this weekend. It will be nice to have at last some CIWS with real life firing rate.

I know AA and anti-missile defense it all about missiles nowadays and that DW is an ASW-oriented sim but anyways we should not underestimate the importance of AAA mounts and gun-based CIWS. For example, Italian ships don't have the typical high-rate-of-fire gatling guns as CIWS but instead uses twin Otto-Melara Fast Forty 40 mm guns linked the the DARDO system which provides for automated detection, tracking and engagement of missiles and aircraft, just like the FC systems of other CIWS.

Another good example is the ZSU-23-4 Shilka which, despite being a quite simple system with some important shortcommings, managed to destroy a great deal of aircraft during the Yom-Kipur war alone.
