Perry class Frigate vs Tu-22 Backfire...what's the trick?

[Stewy1]

I stress this point have the nixie streamed !

Honest question here, isn't the Nixie essentially a noise maker? Wouldn't you want that reeled in, until you get a TIW, so you don't give yourself away?

(Mind you, if you get a wake-homer, it's a lost fight anyway isn't it?)

I tend to split my helos one working in front one behind in open water

I guess this is more of a tactical question and depends on the situation - but is it then limiting if you have to recover (and then refuel) two helos at once?

I did work out a rough 'flight schedule' spreadsheet once, so there's a helo in the air at all times, I'd need to test it more though to see if it works.

Honest questions here, Kapitan - I really don't mean to be rude or provocative - just keen to keep the discussion going!
