FFG missile defence?

[swampy]

Ok so I tried the East Timor mission. 4 missiles is launched at my ffg. I have the CIWS set to Full Auto (idle?). Countermeasure Auto crew. I manage to get one antimissile away, but then I get destroyed.

Im using the RA-mod

I guess it's just a matter of how good a captain you are.

I am relatively new to Dangerous Waters....I have the same problem. In the RSR Campaign, theres one level where you defend the convoy from Backfire bombers....They fire a TON of missiles and half of them are usually aimed at me...

It sounds like it pretty accurately depicts that scene from the book. The American fleet gets WIPED during those Backfire attacks with only a few vessels getting out undamaged.

The only thing that I don't like about Tom Clancy books is that they're very "RAH RAH RAH, America!!!" and he makes the other countries involved, usually Russia, seem like they're full of incompetent idiots. His books also strike me as being VERY VERY pro Republican party and anti Democratic party. There's little snips against the Democrats and liberals all over his writings.

As for that scenario, it all comes down to luck and getting yourself prepared for the attack and praying for the best.

Agree, but his older books (<90's) are good...especially RedStormRising, which also portrays the involved Soviet character in general (apart from the politicians) not as fools. RedStormRising was my first book, which I've read in English...since in my teenager age it was not available in German (now it is).
