Should we start a topic on basic tactics?

[Kapitan]

I came from the older stuff going back to harpoon fleet command and then moved into sub command playing predominately the Akula, however in dangerous waters in the early days i did play the akula and kilo being proficient in both platforms quite highly i did sometimes run around in the 688i and seawolf and have a fair knowledge of them in game.

Way back when i met a guy called Madcap he was a frigate driver in seawolves and i must admit i hit a road block and a dam big one !

Now anyone in any previous MP game that took the FFG out i could normally sink inside 30 minuets that included the standard 10 minuet weapons free rule, except this guy.

Madcap i would say was thee most proficient FFG driver i have ever come across, now matter if i took the Akula or Seawolf he would always find me first, i would always be sunk within the hour and for him it was easy.

as the saying goes if you cant beat them join them

So i joined forces with madcap in a frigate and i must say he did teach me everything he knew and it wasn't long before we were an effective unit hours of endless fun with it.

this partnership spawned two things within seawolves a division which saw a split in the group and also two very well written books both are available on subsim download page

The Blue book is more up to date and is worth the read logic can also be applied to cold waters

The Red book has recently just been rediscovered and is also worth the read its older than the Blue book but a lot still applies.

Also take a peek at the FFG7 Guide this will give you some inclination of frigate operations.
