Re: Fixing salvo missiles

Okay, now that you've described the problem, I agree, at least to some
extent.  I'd say that the idea is that warships have a certain amount
of evasion and ECM built in, so when missiles miss, it's because the
defenses happen automatically.

You've overlooked the Gorshkov.  However, IMHO the SMR is a better
deal and several iterations of the Islamic Fed used SMR exclusively
(ie no SML/magazine combos); I was one of the people who kept asking
Oerjan "why DOES anyone use SMLs?".   But don't get hung up on the FB1
designs--at least some of them were intentionally sub-optimal.	And
you're always free to write your own.

As far as I know, the FB3 Islamic Fed ships will be similar to these:

replacing each pair of Heavy Missiles.
