As far as I know the helo on the FFG doesn't use the dipping sonar, which still drives me NUTS!!
However I do find that you can get almost all the same contacts as your helo does using your broadband array. That array is a very good piece of equipment and you can catch submarines very easily if they are not being careful. Otherwise you just have to scatter lots of sonobuoys with your helo and listen.
I'd say the 12 mile barrier is fairly strict. You can cross it by a little bit but it will cause problems. Don't get too close to military installations in the P3, nor enemy patrol boats, or they'll shoot you down for being too nosy.
