I don't know about your case, but I've played with the XSDBs and GPBs again. I tried to deploy the weapons from almost every distance & angles relative to the target, and the CIWS seems to completely ignored them. Missile & rocket weaponry is another story, however, since the CIWS will make quick work of them if they're within intercept range. For these weapons, I found that either use them at stand-off range (LAGM or longer), move in real close (<5,000 ft to the target), or stay at the same height of the target or lower to minimize the chance of them being intercepted. The SOD's main projectile counts as a missile, and due to its slow speed, it's a perfect skeet for the CIWS to shoot. I think the best method to deploy this weapon without it being shot down is from the front (directly front is best) of the Aegis vessel at its maximum lock-on range.
