Warship SAM's and AAA defenses.
Okay, here goes my first post on SUBSIM.
In Cold Waters the only ASM defenses that warships have available are Chaff and CIWS gun systems. However the various Soviet warships also have SA-N-1, SA-N-3, SA-N-4, SA-N-6, SA-N-7, and SA-N-9 SAMs as well as AK-130, AK-100, AK-726, and AK-725 radar directed DP guns with proximity-fused shells. Warships without AK-630 CWIS guns should still be able to defend themselves to one degree or another with these other systems. As I understand it the SA-N-1, SA-N-4, and SA-N-9, are designed for low altitude use and as such should be able to engage a sea-skimming missile. As for the guns, I understand that the AK-725 does have fire control issues, but the AK-130, AK-100, and AK-726 should all have some level of effectiveness given how proximity fused AAA was the most effective AA type during and after WWII. Yes, the hit probability per round is comparatively low but it is not statistically zero ether. I which we could see these weapons at least attempting to engage Harpoons and TASMs. It would make the older Soviet warships more than helpless missile targets. |

For sure though there should be some type of SAMs operating though if only to highlight some of the advantages the Harpoon had over the TASM

Keep in mind the time period of the default game. I don't think the SA-N-9/Tor/SSC-1a ship variant entered service until 1989.

Everything I've read about the Soviet DP mounts points toward them being pretty much useless against missiles, which is why they don't engage them ingame. We do know from real life that AK-725 for instance failed to intercept a seaskimmer which hit the ship instead. And that's a fairly rapid fire weapon. Larger mounts like AK-100 and AK-130 are just not going to be effective at all.
