Could you squeeze in another Size 1 missile fire control on the Vilknarma? That way you could set it up so that they control 4 launchers each and then have the PD set to 4vs1?4 to 1 means that the number of missiles directed against one incoming salvo will be four times the number in that salvo. So assuming an incoming salvo of 12, your point defence will keep launching until it has 48 anti-missiles in flight. If you are launching anti-missiles in salvos of 10, for example, the first four salvos will be full and the fifth will be just 8 missiles. If the first of those salvos intercepts the incoming and destroys just one of them you will now have 38 missiles in flight vs an incoming salvo of 11. The next anti-missile launch will therefore be 6 missiles so you have 44 in flight vs 11.
Which actually leads me on to my own question for Steve: when PD is set to 4vs1 does that mean that 4 PD missiles will try to target 1 incoming ship killer missile OR that 4 PD missiles will attack 1 salvo or ship killer missiles?
OR, none of the above
