Mission Design balance - FFG

Well ... if you have a FFG and an Akula, or even any nuke on the opposite side in the same mission, I don't give any chance to the FFG !

some reasons :
- torpedoes from nukes => 27 miles
- detection of FFG by nuke is always made first than nuke by FFG
- ASM missiles
- torpedo detection and track respective capabilities of nuke against FFG ....

Only the help of aircraft can get the FFG out of fast death against nukes.

Also, only a good commander of the fregate can beat a KILO commander, alone, by agressive tactics.

So balance is always something difficult to make for a scenario.

I personally think, Bellman, that the FFG is the MOST exposed to risk on mission.
But this depend a LOT on the commander of the ship.
If he know the job, he can reduce significantly the degree of exposure.
With help of good AC also => EW and CM, for early vampire warning.
But without her aircraft, the FFG is mostly a sitting duck for subs.
