Not really:
1) Gamewise, your description is equivalent to a FPS game where you keep getting shot to pieces by the AI from a simulated range of 400m, when it is armed with a pistol. When you complain, they explain it to you by saying a computer always has better aim than a human, and the AI used his pistol as an artillery piece at a 20 degree superelevation to get you at range...
2) Apparently, his helo just launched. The helo isn't just "fast" - it is seeing at ranges it shouldn't be able to see.
3) For the TA part, I entirely agree. Perhaps in the future, they will upgrade the towed array displays on the subs, which supposedly look a lot more like the FFGs than the forms they look like now...
