Is this over-kill & too OP?

I just finished the HVMM pods on the rear of the truck, and I think it may be too OP and might get me disqualified from the challenge. I also found a glitch/bug where the AIM-9X's are taking the maxRange data from the HVMM missiles and it caused the AIM-9X's to only have a range of 3 miles, like the HVMM's. So I had to boost the HVMM range to 20 miles (real-life range of the AIM-9X) so the AIM-9X's would have their normal range. However, this makes the HVMM's way more powerful then intended.

The large number of HVMM missiles and launch tubes has also boosted the part count to +400 and is starting to give a slight dip in FPS (meaning it won't be very mobile-friendly).

So SP community, should I:

A. Cut the HVMM numbers in half
B. Remove the HVMM missiles altogether and keep the AIM-9X for short range.
C. Remove the AIM-9X missiles altogether and keep the HVMM's for short range.

    The boxes can fit an AIM-9X and AIM-120C, and are well-more than enough in length to fit them and possibly a booster. If your talking about the tons of launch tubes at the rear of the truck, those hold the hyper-velocity micro missiles which use kinetic energy to kill incoming missiles and aircraft (well, only aircraft in SP). Of course those won't be holding the AIM-9X's or AIM-120's.

    Well, you usually won't be having two different missiles on one platform. Even platforms compatible with multiple types of missile usually use one at the time. Also, missiles are generally heavy. Land launched missiles based on air-to-air missiles will be air-to-air missile plus a booster. I don't think you can fit them in those boxes off the sides of the truck. Maybe those could fit missiles that are usually paired with MANPADS, but I don't see a point of that.

    What do you think? Is this current set-up too OP?
