Black Swans from hell. I've run into one twice that is on fire, with its crew roasting at action stations and still hounding me. Eerie.

A black swan can sniff you coming out of port and from there your fate is sealed.

Let me tell u, Hunter Class is nothing more than a piece of crap. Owing little amount of K-gun and DC rack, it can NEVER pose a threat.

I fear River & Black Swan DE most. Although they are slow, their armarment, and techology coperated proves a tough opponent

I won`t be original here. Black swan frigates are scarying me. Same with flower corvettes, too. Many DDs give up or run out of DCs and these nasty pests are still there, still pinging, still throwing DCS...

Black Swan class are the worst. They can carry 10 DC launchers and a hedgehog plate. When they do a DC run it's like being in the center of a pre-registered 105 barrage. I fear the Black Swan.

The rivers have less surface armament than the Swans

smaller patterns plus they have the HH and their brains came
from the Black Swans.

Definately the Number one ASW Frigate in my book

they are astoundingly tough and tenacious opponents and
Occasionally seem to have Clairvoyance 2.0 installed.

I cant thank BBW enough for making them.

also the final of River with the corrected visual model will
be ready very soon. But I still play regularily against the
Beta version, as it is one of the great challenges in sh3
to survive four of them on top of you.

(Beta RiverFF type 2 available on my File Front.)
Take the Challenge Kaluens there are worse monsters
in the deeps than the swans.
