As the title suggests are micro smartbombs worth it for missile defense? I heard you had to have pretty good timing because of the 2k range.

Ive found its simply too hard to get the timing right.
In some situations (ie a tailchase in a fast frig) you can do it with ease but the majority of the time its too tricky especialy with a the one second window that heavys and cruise will give you.

So if this is the case what is the best defense for a frigate against missiles? Defenders aren't the most effective way and SB are to hard to time correctly. I guess MWD are the only way?

if your a frigate, and is going close range (5km) within target you can press the smartbomb to destroy any missile launched by your target... of course if the target is smart he will launch one and one missile instead of all at the same time...

On a reliable connection, the timing isn't an issue if you learn to hover over incoming missiles to determine range and get an indea of their speed. You'll easily get a decent enough idea of when you should activate the smartbomb to catch the missile, factoring in the activation delay.
I would however advise the use of at least a micro tech 2 smartbomb to take out heavy missiles and a small tech 1 smartbomb against cruise missiles as only those smartbombs do enough damage against the respective munitions.

practicing the timing is easy. 3-6 secs before impact will always hit use mdium
and medium smart bombs dont take out cruisw and torpedos any more so large do all round job
use thermal as well
when i read on lvl3 mission that im gonna be fighting caladaris.
i stick 2 smart bombs,
set them at manual and watch for the missiles,
im sure i destroyed 7 misssils at a time the fact that those easy little buggers fire together
