Lethality of SAMs
How lethal are SAMs in real life? I am working on some battles to learn about TOEs of various countries, and it seems that almost every plane or helo needs to be smacked by 3-4 stingers/SA-18/ADATs/Triumf/Patiots to be KIA. Many of the hits only nick the target for a 1 pt. hit. Great to not have the bogey return, but is that what really happens. It seems the Gepards/Vulcan AA guns score bigger damage hits more frequently. I would think that the Patriot/Triumf/Rolands (with their big warheads) would swat down stuff with one hit fairly frequently.
Can someone 'splain to me?
Thanks
