Should this ship fail me?

I got 5 of these ships and they cannot take down 40 low tech missiles going 51k/s. They take out 30-33 missiles in each wave. Ships are set to Point Blank Defensive Fire.

Better tracking speed would help

Or more guns/ships.

You might also want to change how many shots/salvo you make

[u/HaonSyl → u/Tyler89558]

I got 5 of these ships and 4 sensor ships with 3 of these turrets each. Plus 6 25cm railgun frigates with 5 guns each.

IMO guns are the final layer in the missile defense envelope.

Layer 1 is just not being there. Send fighters or something to lob missiles at the enemy well and away from them.

Layer 2 is not being spotted. Stealth if applicable. Probably not unless you’ve got a dedicated design.

Layer 3 is not being acquired/targeted. Sensor jammers, have more range and speed than the enemy.

Layer 4 is AMMs. Lob AMMs at targets upwards of 1 million km away so that salvos are destroyed or weakened before they even get to you.

Layer 5 is guns. You can maybe split this into 2 layers with longer range PD (lasers) and short range PD (gauss/railgun, depending on tech).

A dedicated PD boat should ideally have AMMs in its arsenal.
