Ok, sry for asking so many questions but i am really hyped about the ship.

Just one final question, what roles are the exocet and torpedo launchers on the ship going to play?
I can understand if you can't answer that in case it is still undecided or classified.

Nuclear sub confirmed.

I heard that you used to be able to drop LGBs high above out of view distance of the lase, but when they came in view distance of the target and the lase was in their forward FOV, they would start tracking it and hit the target.

Could the same be done for the exocet missile, so it could be fired in the general direction BVR and when in range it would start actively tracking the target?

Ye that is something we are actually looking into but it does have its issues.

It will be interesting to see type 99 serve as CGI in joint operations with cas, and ewr for self defense, will it be possible to use preventive chafs in the distrust of vectors of the exocet nearby? or just so remedy?

And has there been any test with AAA multi-purpose fuse ammunition for the vk mk8 cannon? still think that by the low performance of the seacat the frigate must have all its AAA power.
A secondary layer of ammunition with only HEMP can be used, with a much higher muzzle velocity simulating AA ammunition.

Hopefully, yes, not done any real testing yet but going to be looking into it, and finally, I take it you mean the HE ER round? If so, that didn't come into service until 2004 so won't be in PR:F.

Nice

I was referring to The same He multipurpose , about the muzzle velocity this would be to compensate for the lack of a fire control, the extended range is out of the period, but a secondary layer of munition with greater muzzle velocity would end up resembling with the Er, thinking better really may not be the best approach, having two ammunitions that use the same charge propellant at very different speeds does not sound interesting.
Perhaps the selection of the ammunition in a second layer could be used just to simulate the electronic selection for the fuse mode that was performed when the cannon changed between surface-surface and surface-air targets

Well ... in the research I discovered a RE ammunition that is a cannon-fired chaff dispenser, this sounds very interesting considering the possibilities, I just do not know its date of implementation as well as implementation in falks, any information about it? Same for the illumination round.
