Frigate Tactics (for dummies!)

Stewy1 · 01-26-20, 02:45 AM

G'day guys,

I'm trying to teach myself the Perry - and set up a 'head to head' 'early 80s' encounter - one Perry against two Chinese Jianghu I frigates.

I noticed that the Standard Missiles had no effect (always beaten by chaff) - but the Harpoon was very effective (a one missile kill), the Seahawk's Penguins were effective too (two missiles for a kill).

The CIWS was effective in destroying their 'barrage' of ASMs - but the Jianghu had a longer gun range than the Perry when it closed (and actually did 27% damage on me)

Just wanted to ask - what are your preferred frigate v frigate(s) tactics?
* Get both helos on ASuW Alert 30 straight away?
* Stay out of their Gun range?
* Let CIWS handle ASMs only?
* Pack a few more Harpoons than the usual 2-4 (to therefore not rely on the Standard Missile to damage ships)?

Thanks guys - dumb questions I know

Stew
