Ah i see the problem.
What if the maximum line extention distance, is set to be a silo AA fire range ? Assuming the line would still be on the map.

The only real solution: Practice makes perfect.
I can by no means draw a decent line by hand in Defcon, but can still triangulate silos. The lines don't need to be perfect, just interconnected enough to make a decent approximation (i.e. multiple fighters from two or three approaching vectors with enough time between each fighter for you to keep up with the AA).
Also, if I know you're going for triangulation, I'll through in fighters just to confuse you (fake AA). I know others do that as well.

Hey Guys, dont want to ruin your discussion. But do a game and watch your Anukeshots carefully.. They dont do a straigt line, only when a nuke goes directly on them in a straight line, what never happens.. But yeah, u would get a good idea, where thay are, thats true.. it really would be perfect to do the 2 click thing

That's why you use multiple fighters from at least two directions. Silo triangulating is pretty easy once you do it a few times, it's just time consuming and sometimes not worth the effort. I know I've triangulated plenty of silo only to have the person launch and give the location away before I could do anything.
