It's not that hard if you concentrate on one station only.

This is good advice. But how do we nubs know which mission has the necessary action for each station? ie some missions may have subs while others have airplanes.
If you know how to use the seawolf or other US subs then your ablity to learn the TMA and to use the towed array on the FFG is helped.
What's really new with the FFG is using the radar and other guns. Active Sonar on the sub is similar although not the same as the FFG's active sonar.
If you learned to use the P3C then you should know about grams and sonar buoys. This should also apply to using the Helicopter as a user controlled platform. And these two platforms should give you some skills in the use of torpedoes. At least the skills necessary to learn to set the ceiling and speed and pattern for the torpedoes. The FFG's torpedo station is a lot different so that will have to be studied.
What's really missing for the FFG is some short and easy tutorials for each type of station on the FFG.
I figure I will learn to use the mission editor and then make some easy misisons for the FFG. One mission with just a sub that tries to avoid me. One mission for a jet or other airplane that flys near my FFG so that I can learn to use the gun stations.
Trying to learn all stations at the same time is too much for one man, especially if using manual mode. I would set up most of the stations on Autocrew and learn one station at a time using the manual mode. Is that possible to do? I hope so.
