the argument is if they can be reloaded between combats... I would have to lean towards yes
Do they have supply bays full of spare counter measures, or do you build new CM charges each time?
I would suggest making them different from RAP & PD. If they were very effective, but had to be repaired each use, you'd use them with very different strategies. And, they would not be better than PD, only different. You'd want to put PD on your ship to save CM charges for emergencies.
Then ships would have to be designed with BOTH PD/RAP and CM. CM blocks the entire first wave of missiles, but fails on the second wave. The PD will keep firing away till the bitter end
