Yes, they're incredibly fragile. But they don't come in groups -
so you have many, many more targets. If you fire 3 MT missiles
at one ship, then they'd better have at least 3 PDS/Class 1s, or
some will get through. A PDS can only shoot down 1 MT missile,
even if it rolls a 6. Ditto KV scatterpacks. Because these are
fired at "target groups" such as a squad of fighters, or a swarm
of salvo missiles. An MT missile is a target group in its own right,
and will be just as dead from 1 hit as a dozen.
