Royal Navy Type 43 'County Class' Destroyer

Description
What if the Royal Navy dusted off the Type 43 designs after the Falklands and in 1984 started building a successor to the Type 42? Well this is the result. Sure it might be a Tico with a white ensign, but it features the home grown Sea Dart Mark 2, the ever fun Sea Wolf and a mix of RN helicopters. Both a Batch 1 with twin arm launchers & Sea King (Dorsetshire has an AEW Sea King), and a Batch 2 with VLS & Lynxs are included. Massive thanks to Drachinifel for doing the outline design and research into this ship, and to Nuclearstonk and Longbow for their hard work on the NTU and Invincible mods.

Update: Added a hypothetical 2020's refit version with the Aster 30, Sea Ceptor and Naval Strike Missile.

As far as I can tell it is working ok, the Sea Dart wasn't always the best xD I will have another look though the firing arcs might be messed up or something

Having the same issue with the Sea Dart 2 FCR range on the Batch 1s

Think we can get some Royal Navy and RAN cruisers at some point? Fictional or not?

Yep, Sea Dart FCR. Probably should've specified!

Is that for the Sea Dart FC Radar?

Hiya, superb mod, absolutely loving it to bits, along with the YT with Drach. Found that one extremely enjoyable to watch

I do have but one question: what's with the FCR on the Batch 1? It seems to have a *very* short range (my trial target was a AS-6 Kingfish at 75000ft. The "range" seems to be about 25 miles on that particular target.) Any ideas?
