I discovered something really entertaining that needs to be rethought...

When a US Arleigh Burke or Tico manages to localize a target, it immediately lets fly with a MASSIVE volley of VLA. Besides being a bit of an overkill, the VLA are launched with NO considerations for the safety of ownship. They launch so many of them, in such close proximity, that the probability of them hitting SOMETHING is near one, and that something is frequently themselves or another friendly or neutral ship. They are at least as dangerous to themselves and their friends as they are to any enemy vessels!

I've been having a ton of fun thinking of ways to get the DDGs and CGs to shoot at each other. It's too much fun.
