i ran some tests tor was superior to destroy sam planes and always hits more oftena and destroys planes i had higher exp patriot than tor and still tor was the winner at ease
First of all, the strange thing is not that Tor is effective. It should, it's a superb system. What is strange is that your Patriots don't hit. What side are you, time and what is your opponent? (country and units that you are trying to destroy)

i tried gulf states and usa patriots against china j-10 but i also tried it against mirage from gulf states and the better ew9 plane with gulf states (with tor it did not matter what plane it was or ew it almost always did hit on 60% accuracy) the hitting is not the biggest problems with patriot in my use it's the inabality to kill i have never seen a patriot system to crash a plane not even if it hits twice it only does low damage like 1-8 against tor like 100 damage i suppose this is weird because if i remember right tor had kill and pen 14 against patriots 75
this test was against sead planes
oh and year 2009
i just remembered i did see patriot in one test game to drop a plane but for 1 drop i have seen many low damage ones and if i remember right i have seen tor always to drop everything it hits in one hit
Dont use either very often but the exp of the pilot would count as think works
Pilot passes can attempt to evade lowering hit chance, might check against firers exp so set up a test with all units set to 70 exp. Also if his EW beats the SAMs lowers hit again.
On Patriots hits pretty sure I have seen quite a few 200 plus damage hits in the past but dont use Area SAMs much so hard to be sure.
Either look in the OOB editor for an error or do a test in game editor.
Use Allies button & buy both SAMs for 1 side. Change them so arranged in order of Patriot Tor Patriot Tor etc & place both in the same hex that way those 2 units will fire 1 after the other.
Dont use SEAD or you will suppress second firer.
Okay not a proper test but what exactly are you talking about.
Bought 12 of each the TOR being the good one M1
Bought from Russia & USA.
Other side Russian planes with EW of 6, 8 & 9
One plane, thats one plane managed to evade constantly both types but hit eventually, probably took about 5 or 6 & Patriot got him in the end.
Hit chances from 40 - 80 most 55-65 but quite a few higher probably vs low EW planes stopped paying attention.
Of all the Patriot hits & I would say they did marginally better only 1 caused less than 70 damage. Lots were 180+ so not a lot left of the plane so I cant see what the problem is unless there is an error in the OOB of the side you are using but think thats doubtful.
Conclusion, both are more than capable of doing the job normally 1 or 2 shots before fireball.
