I have a question, does the mobile SAM unit have an animation or is the defense automatic. I was being bombed quite heavily and built quite a few of them and haven't seen any work. Is that because they are fully deterring or is there no animation? Thanks
 
As i recall it there is an animation.

The chances for a stack of 4 or more mobile SAM to hit enemy bombers is 51.775%, so you should see some bombers being hit. Stacking AA units to no less than 4 units is important. Anything more than 4 has no use except creating a reserve against suffering losses. Also you need to recognize that better air units have lower chances of being hit. For jet fighters it is 31.699%, for stelth bomber 26.497%, for stealth fighter 22.752%.
 
There is a message and a very minimalistic missile animation when a plane is shot down.

I have replaced it with an animation by Gary Childress, which is far better visible and better looking ( http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=236777 ).

Besides it is more fitting for both missile- and non-missile-AA-units. I found it somewhat strange then the quad-barrel-Flak or a WWII ship uses missiles... ;)
