[help] Frigate and antiship missiles, how to survive

I've noticed that the problematic missiles can still be engaged manually, just as you would for a fast attack craft/Iranian patrol boat (grin) that got too close for comfort.

OK, Goldorak, you seem to be the representative of the Perry drivers lately, so let me put this to you. Is it more important for you to get the TIW so you know the missiles are coming (allowing you to be at EMCON prior to the launch and then getting your defenses ready at the TIW) or to have the benefit of automatic targeting for the CIWS?

My gut feeling is that the TIW is more valuable than automatic targeting because automatic targeting can be defeated by a missile salvo designed to attack from different bearings, and the SM-2 can handle 8 missiles plus in the time you have available provided that you know they're coming. I think that's worth a LAN or MP test though... be back soon...
