Observation to be made is that targets with v.high shield defence, ie nataraja with 2 weightless tower, are practically immune to missiles.

Unlike normal defense, shield defense subtracts from the chances of a missile to hit. And even if it does manage to hit, then the victim's full protection rating kicks in and the missile will likely do no damage at all.

In short, shielded targets are very hard to damage with missiles ... unless it's your own troops being shot in the back.
