And of course you don't use both at the same time, you use the SM-2 when you first detect them and use the CIWS to pick off the leakers. Even in manual it's still quick too. It's just tab-click-boom-tab-click-boom.... I don't see how you can dismiss that outright instead of trying it out first.

You are right, proficiency is not the issue, gameplay balance is. If you ditch the cwis (in auto/full auto mode) no amount of chaff/flares and sm-2 will enable the frigate to survive against a volley of 8-10+ missiles. What happens if you attack the frigate from to oppossing directions ? Same problem.
At least with auto targetting you give the player on the perry a fighting chance, he may die or he may survive but at least he has a fighting chance.
With no cwis on auto you have no chance whatsoever, you lose every single time.
Thats why I prefer to renounce to the TIW messages and regain the CWIS.
