Well, DW is mainly sub-sim game in my opinion. However your options are not challenging, either. OHP can engage such rafts with gunfire only. P-3 and MH-60R can do that only using Hellfire. I don't consider firing Harpoons or LWTs against such targets as rationale. Yes, it may be some fun with searching, detecting and classifying those rafts with radar and FLIR but I am not sure this fun will be high enough because rafts are simply defenseless against regular navy even on littoral waters. Look at "Prying Mantis", "Desert Storm" and Gulf of Sidra Incident as proofs. Small coastal vessels are targets for naval air power and are good enough to engage merchants and tankers sailing without escort. Yet against blue water navy much more effective tactics is to use coastal anti-ship missiles possibly on mobile launchers. Falkland's War and INS "Hanit" fate come to mind...
