191.33 pts on the Cobb Calculator. Needs to have 4 external missiles to be 51.14% effective vs stock Mk V? So this is an inefficient design... (186.33 pts and 38.7% vs Mk V if only 3 external missiles, even worse)

Sounds about right; missiles are more than just a game of quantity, they're also a game of bandwidth (number of shots per turn)...when it comes to Racks or Tubes for a custom unit, it's a game of picking your poison.
Racks are tougher, and permit far higher total missile counts...an Ogre with them that can keep its opponents at stand-off ranges is extremely dangerous (see also: Mk.IV)...but is easier to overwhelm, because whether it has 2 missiles or 20 it can only fire [# racks] missiles per turn.
Tubes on the other hand are easier to destroy and far more limited in number, but you have to peel every single one off the SOB individually...and a sufficiently threatened Ogre can dump its entire payload thereof in a single turn if it feels the need to.
