Definitive non-expert opinion.	No, more time for EW and CM to work plus
target movement?

I rather have the impression that currently this kind of thing is
decided
in what Winston Churchill referred to as "The Wizard War" aspect of
computers/electronics (or some such quote) and might occur far too fast
for the slight range variance to have much affect in DS2 Granularity. 
SG
II?  No opinion.  Oh, also there is (maybe?) the time between launch and
weapon arming where the missile might be guaranteed a "hit" but no
"boom"
factor.
