Default Re: Surface to Air Missile Inconsistencies

Western bias?
I suppose it could just be me but from what I've seen US AA weapons (gun and missile) are at best half as accurate as Soviet ones. I rarely see a hit probability over 15-20% for the US and under 50% for the Soviets.
Add to that the warhead issue it tends to make US anti-aircraft weapons not worth the purchase cost. They can't hit anything and if by chance they do at best they scratch the paint 90% of the time.
