This is my only remaining pet peve with the frigate, the maximum radius you can project your helos is very small (20 nm and thats it). It should be way more extended, around 50-60 nm maybe to be effective in ASW operations.
All the more reason to play multi-player, otherwise the Seahawk is just a gloryfied DASH drone. But the remote link range limit is a LOS issue so unless someone shrinks the Earth noing is going to change.
