Hmmm, not sure if that's how it works... For instance, as a test, i extended the range of the sm-2 out to 150000, then changed the sensors by your theory example: 46,000 - 2 meaning that at 46,000m the an/sp-49 only 2% of it's ability to track that target. But, at that range, even though I can select a radar track, I cannot launch the weapon at an incoming missle until around 27,000.
Further more, for air contact, I can track and engage an air contact at 64,000. To go one step further, surface contacts cannot be engaged by the sm-2 until at a range of 16,000.
These figures do not add up, why such a big difference in engaging air contacts as to incoming missiles, then ontop of that, surface vessels.
