yeah, after trying to do a TMA in a quick mission, I found that anything more than 10K yds away from the FFG will be almost impossible to do TMA on unless they going fast and are parrallel to you.

*edit*
well I did a little more practice and found the TMA actually isn't that hard. if you have a demon on the guy and 2 lines of bearing, you can get speed, course and distance. But it's still a pain in the arse when you can't do good TMA on contacts beyond 10Kyds.

but, like the helo and P-3 all you really need a line of bearing anyway. After this TMA episode, I've learned the FFG is nothing more than a carrier/sonobouy. The Helicopters are all that the FFG has over the Subs.
