No no. I didn't make that clear, sorry. 

PDS should be 50% effective for 1 PDS and 75% for 2 PDS. 

The number of ECM missiles in a salvo should be 25% and not 50% of total
missiles fired.  If you use more then 25% ECM you hit the point of
diminishing returns where increasing the number of ECM misssiles
decreases the number of actual missiles that hit the target. For my
calculations I used a base of 20 missiles (to make numbers easier) and
did my calculations where 5 missiles (25% of the salvo) were ECM and 15
were regular missiles. This makes 15 warheads and 15 ECM dummies.
