I haven't played in a couple of years, but I can't remember having this problem before:
I'm in the middle of a large battle. Half an hour ago, I shot down dozens of missile salvos with my AMMs and some gauss guns, all on automatic PD settings. Worked like a charm. When the fire finally stopped, I hit the 5-minute button and nothing happened. Then the 20-minute button (I think, or it could have been 1-hour). Anyway, the next interrupt comes after 20:35 and tells me I've been hit by 27 missiles. No contacts were reported before, no defenses fired at this salvo, only at the one coming after it that was reported in this interrupt. Sub-pulses are on Automatic.
My missile warning sensors are a bit anemic, with only about 500,000km range vs. Size-4 missiles, but I can get two or three 5-second turns before they hit, which is enough.
This isn't the first time this happens in this campaign. Didn't sub-pulses work reliably in the old days?
