If you increase the max[1] range, you usually increase the min[2] range too. A loss of EO and soft launch [3]may add time, but there is no need to slew[4] launcher/FCR to the target, so you claw some of it back.
2 =bad
3 =soft launch will add time (I take it that loss of EO was not meant?)
4 = very true, BUT not true w/o the EO ... my whole point through this "discussion" even though t only getting going now
[5] yes, no tree tops, contours at seaindeid wrote:CIWS are more difficult[5] on land, as you are usually working with a larger defended area with more possible targets in than [6] a bubble round a self defending platform. Not against a return [7] to AD guns, but would rather [8] expand the current systems.
[6] on land, you can disperse. At sea, the self-defending bubble (for the "concentration") makes evident sense
[7] I am not advocating; hence the "joke" about the MANPAD at the ready
[8] the crux of the matter: How?
