You can shoot a missile that is shot from the USS beast's escorts. So CIWS can be made but it's hard to shoot down, I've tried it and all you need is a fast-firing gun.
I suggest using a cannon because of the damage but a normal gatling gun can work.
You can shoot enemy missiles in air

@FerretAeronautics sorry for the notification, but can you give an link to it? If so thanks
well yeah, thats how I got into the ice base
@BroAeronautics that might work, actually.
@ChiChiWerx I remember downloading an EA-18G Growler with “electronic warfare systems” that were basically one wing gun firing in each direction that had the rounds XML modded to a ridiculous size that would basically shred any missile that got close enough
@jamesPLANESii ahhh, so im missing spread
Well, I’m fairly certain all you have to do is nick a SAM with a single round, not cause a significant amount of damage which would require an explosive cannon shell. And using a cannon would be impossible as the physics model requires an individual round to physically make contact with the actual frame of a missile part to do anything. Normal gun rounds compute their hits differently and actually hit flying objects far, far, far more often than cannon rounds. Cannon rounds create damage much as a bomb does, by hitting the ground, exploding and creating damage in a surrounding area...if the round never hits (and they hardly ever hit flying objects), it never explodes and it never causes any damage. Try it...put cannons on a build and use them to shoot down a flying object. You won’t. Normal “Minigun” or “wing guns” are your best bet for a CIWS build.
@jamesPLANESii Yes that could work
Fast firing gun with a lot of spread
