Don't know. At least Hunter-Killer Missiles are supposed to be guided missiles. So they would be good at AA.
The Whirlwind Hyperios fires essentially Krak-Missiles too. Same stats 48" range, etc...

Also interesting: Under the Advanced Rules it says that all weapons of a given weapons-system have to shoot at the same target. Soall Hellstrike Missiles have to hit the same vehicle.
So effectively the Vulture is equipped with a TwinHellstrikeMissile with AT3+, Thunderbolt is equipped witha QuadHellstrikeMissile with AT2+ and the Marauder Destroyer with a DoubleQuadHellstrikeMissle with AT1+ (which is only relevant if the target is in cover because a 1 is allways a miss).

Literal translation of stats is unwise.
Epic is a lot more sensible, so a Marauder destroyer would have 4x Twin Hellstrike launchers, for example.
Remember, one strafing action is Epic is represented by all six turns of a 40k game (Ie: Shooting at six different tanks throughout the game).

Hmm but aircraft move so much faster. Isn't a turn in Epic supposed to be 15 minutes long? I really can't imagine an aicraft moving only 2 or so km (Manticore says in the fluff shoots 3km, in Epic it shots indirectly 300cm, gamingboard is usually 1,80m long) in 15 minutes.

Well in Wh40k a flyer can make a strafing run EVERY turn (ok you have to make a reserve roll..but on 2+). Thats roughly 6+ times each game 
They must have a really narrow turning radius
