Here's an Idea, what if AMS and LAMS have different niches in missile-protection? Different damage and ROF values, we could allow AMS to be effective with LRMs and MRMs, while LAMS be effective for SRMs and ATMs.

For example:

LRM Missile Health: 1
MRM Missile Health: 1
SRM Missile Health: 3
SSRM Missile Health: 3
ATM Missile Health: 2

AMS ROF: 10 (0.1 interval)
AMS damage/shot: 1
C-LAMS ROF: 7 (0.142857 interval)
C-LAMS damage/shot: 3
iLAMS ROF: 8 (0.125 interval)
iLAMS damage/shot: 3

AMS TTK: (largest launcher)
- LRM: 0.1s (20x = 2.0s)
- MRM: 0.1s (40x = 4.0s)
- SRM: 0.3s (6x = 1.8s)
- SSRM: 0.3s (6x = 1.8s)
- ATM: 0.2s (12x = 2.4s)

C-LAMS TTK: (largest launcher)
- LRM: 0.142857s (20x = 2.8571s)
- MRM: 0.142857s (40x = 5.7142s)
- SRM: 0.142857s (6x = 0.8571s)
- SSRM: 0.142857s (6x = 0.8571s)
- ATM: 0.142857s (12x = 1.7142s)

iLAMS TTK: (largest launcher)
- LRM: 0.125s (20x = 2.5s)
- MRM: 0.125s (40x = 5.0s)
- SRM: 0.125s (6x = 0.75s)
- SSRM: 0.125s (6x = 0.75s)
- ATM: 0.125s (12x = 1.5s)

If you notice, the LAMS has 3 damage, while the AMS only has 1. This makes it so that the lower-ROF has better TTK for missiles with larger health. Depending with the implementation, it could be done in reverse with LAMS being best used for LRMs/MRMs, and AMS for SRMs/ATMs for their close-range brawling.

This is only an example to the concept, values aren't finalized. This is just to explain the thought behind the idea.

AMS and LAMS are meh anyway
dont wanna make em worse

If would be fun to have anti-SRM AMS with buckshots. Third type of.
