Yep, that would be a problem.  Any arsenal ship--a big ship that maxes
out
on SMR or MTM--is going to cause problems.  The way you solve that is to
attack it with fighters.  Of course, you first need to find out that the
arsenal ship is there, which sounds like a good case for leading with
DD's
instead of BB's.

I can't see unmanned missiles being less maneuverable than fighters.  I
could see them having a 60 degree targeting arc, though.
