I was thinking of buying this addon and was wanting to know how good is the Sams?Do they get close to you before they explode?Can you use them in different missions?

I wouldn't bother, the SAMs never get you (or get close), if you jink at 2 miles out the will missby aroung a half mile at least. If you are after carrier ops then there is a freeware John C. Stennis that kicks the Enterprise's ass. As Will said the aircraft aint up to much, and the lack of a weapons guidance system makes the missiles useless.
I'd recomend you d/l the Stennis and convert some FS2k or 2K2* aircraft to CFS2. All you need to do is add the defauld Dp file and replace the sounds or install new sounds.

* will not work with Gmax or FSDS2.

I'd recomend Rick Salasa's A-6 (the old one) available here and Dino Cattaneo's F-14s. The F-14 has one of the best VCs I've ever seen and has the power to take off along the length of the cats without and modifications or Slew, the A-6 however will require you to release breaks while sitting on the stern.
