Default PD beam ships vs missiles

Hey,

I've been trying to design a good PD Cruiser vs my current generation of missile fighters, but the PD ships can't seem to successfully shoot down missiles.

In Simulations, a wing of five missile fighters lauch five heavy explosive missile-IIs (seeker dmg resistance:24kT each). So it seems like the stack should have 24x5=120hp?

The PD ship is armed with 1x80mm Laser-III, 1x60mm Laser-III, and 3x40mm Laser-III. It also has Gun Crews-I. This should be a possible three missiles, and a possible two targets, right?

Edit:
But during combat, it fires on incoming missiles from range one to range four with almost no effect; During the course of the simulation, in thirty turns it might kill two missiles out of the twenty to twentyfive that are launched at it.

Am I missing something about damage allocation or to hit rolls or something?

For reference, The laser three damage tables:
(3x)40mm: 38, 36, 33, 30
(1x)60mm:103, 96, 89, 82
(1x)80mm:205, 205, 192, 178, 165
