Fascinating. What evidence is there that, in reality, the Russian AAW systems were superior to the AEGIS system?

Well the Soviet deployed the first Anti ballistic missile system during the cold war . Take it easy Pillar I think after all the complaints the modders will try to improve US Aegis system. I certainly hope so.

The modders have already announced that the Aegis system behavior will be improved. They say it is already implemented and will be released in version 1.1

The Modders have announced that AA systems of US ships have been improved, the new release (1.1) will include this change.

In terms of the AEGIS fire control system, I don't think there is any. Most Russian SAM systems are capable or engaging only 1 or 2 targets simultaneously--and that includes the SA-15. Kinematically, though, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the Grumble or Gauntlet is superior to the SM-2.

The reason for Russian AAW being superior in stock DW and SC had nothing to do with RL, it was just that the US AEGIS ships only had two launcher entities (the VLSs) which could only engage one target at a time and at a range limited to 10nm. The Russians tended to have multiple SAM systems and multiple launcher entities for each system, so they could get a lot more missiles in the air at multiple targets a lot more quickly.
