Question about Mission designer

Check this out: I got frustrated with the AI always defeating me so I changed the weapons load out. I put Anti ship missles in all 6 external tubes. Started up the mission and soon heard the familiar "pinging" from that horrible surface ship. I got a good bead on him and fired all 6 missles. He defeated all of them.

So then, I got more frustrated and said screw this. I'm killing something. So I turned truth on. I saw a sub out there. Cool. Got the bearing and distance, and launched a SS-27-ASW at it. What happens? The dang surface ship who is "pinging" me fires more missles at my missle and kills it again. I wasn't even shooting towards that surface ship.

Every time I have played, I have been defeated. I have tried using torps too. They outrun the torps, and then counter fire. I have had some success in evading too so that's a cool experience. But I'm starting to wonder if I had a nuclear bomb, they would still defeat it, and then kill me.

Any hints because this is getting ridiculous. Thanks.

No, if there is something in the mission that's not in your database you just get the in-game error message that you've seen.

[Iron Chef voice] If memory serves me right[/voice], the surface ships can be an LCS, Perry, Burke, Tico, powerboat, or trawler.
6 Klubs will defeat a Perry, and maybe an LCS, but it won't defeat a Burke or Tico. If you've ever played an RTS, you can think of the AEGIS ships as being the counter-unit to antiship missiles--attack them with something else. Enable range is also a factor, if you allow the ship to engage the missiles while in their subsonic stage they are easily defeated.
