The question is which number counts when the aa unit is performing point defense.
Is it the defense point?Or attack/defense point both?Would the attack point cool-down after shooting down the first missle?

defence point is instant with no cool down

if you are unlucky neither will hit; else both will hit

Would the first missile trigger an aa attack and make the attack-point cool down?

Hello.

Here, parameters define success or failure.

Offensive AA of unit work in area of effect, so, if you launch the two missiles at the same time, they will both be damaged by the 7 offensive round of the unit, leaving them with ~3-4 hp each.

Defensive AA applies for each hit, so, it would apply against each missile. In this setting, both missiles would be shot down and, due to the area of effect nature of offensive AA, the result would be the same if you launched 5 missiles at the same time.

However, if you launch a first missile, once you triggered the Offensive AA, you have a 10 minutes cooldown before it shoots again. If you "delayed" your second missile to ensure that only the first missile is hit by the Offensive AA, while the second missile reaches the unit while it's AA is reloaded, then you have this scenario.

First Missile : Gets hit by 7 offensive AA, has 3-4 hps left, reaches the unit, gets hit by 7 defensive AA, doesn't do any damage and is shot down by point defense.

Second missile : Reaches full health the unit while it is reloading its offensive AA, gets hit by 7 defensive AA, but it's not enough to kill it, so it explodes and deals damage to the unit.
