Strengths<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The advantage of this ship is its formidable armaments and impressive stats. While its size is slightly small, it boasts a very good locked missile air defense: the HHQ-16F<\/a>. Its two exclusive TL-30C<\/a> missiles are immune to enemy countermeasures and you can place another set of missiles in its two free missile slots which adds versatility. Type 054B\u2019s impressive 25.8 knot speed makes it perfect at ambushing enemies and reaching critical positions early in the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One other notable weapon is the YU-10<\/a> torpedo. It’s an excellent weapon. The torpedo is immune to enemy submarine countermeasures and can deal 39K damage per torpedo. Since there are two slots, the total damage is 78K per attack. This, along with two grenade launcher slots, makes the Type 054B very efficient at killing submarines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weaknesses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A definite weakness of the ship is its 403\u202f000 HP health pool which is on the lower-end when you consider the average T3 HP spectrum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ship is also vulnerable to enemy missile swarm attacks since, besides the HHQ-16F, it only boasts 2x autocannons and 2 1x air defense. This protection is equal to ROKS Jeongjo the Great<\/a> (Which unfortunately is not great). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The YU-10 torpedo also has a downside: it can be easily countered by enemy grenade launcher fire.<\/p>\n\n\n
