 The F224 has the same armament as the [[Köln F220]], armed with 2 x 100 mm/55 MLE model 53 semi-automatic cannons divided into 2 turrets, one at the aft and one at the bow. They are capable of decimating enemy vessels in seconds, including heavy cruisers. The 100 mm cannons have access to 2 types of shells, HE and HE-VT. Both shells have the exactly same performance with the exception of the proximity fuse the HE-VT gets. It is recommended to carry HE-VT as there are no downsides to it. HE-VT are an extra when it comes to air defence. They will decimate any enemy plane with the proximity fuse but they are only recommended to be used when attacking low speed aircraft (like bombers) at long ranges (past 10 km) as the relative low fire rate (15 RPM) and targeting speed will cause issues engaging faster aircraft (fighters or even attackers). It should be noted the 100 mm can be used with the tracking radar.

 The F224 is armed with 6 x 40 mm/70 MEL58 automatic cannons divided into 2 dual-mounted turrets and 2 single-mount turrets. They are capable of shredding anything but cruisers. The 40 mm cannons only have access to HE and HE-VT, meaning they will do little to no damage to heavily armoured targets even at point blank range. The 40 mm are your main line of defence against light and medium armoured vessels as the fast rate of fire (0.4-second reload) will cause fatal damage with even just one burst. They are also your main line of defence against any aircraft at any range from 0 to 10 km (AI gunners will not engage targets past ~10 km). They will destroy incoming enemy aircraft within seconds. The captain is able to control them manually and use the tracking radar to engage air targets manually. It is recommended to let the AI gunners engage the targets when the threat is closer than 5 km as the captain will be able to focus on more threatening enemies (other vessels or even aircraft). When letting AI gunners engage targets, be aware of which targeting setting is set (airborne and surface, airborne, surface, none) as each turret will only engage one target at a time.

The torpedo range is drastically different to the [[Köln F220‎‎]]. They have a max range of 5.49 km (instead of 13.71 km) and can be used at almost point blank, the torpedo must travel 50 m at minimum to be armed (most of the time "point blank" engagements will be between 100-500 m). Depending on the map, game mode and captain's discretion, torpedo depth can be adjusted in order to achieve multiple tasks.

 '''1-meter depth''' - This is the most universal depth used for all types of engagements, being in deep or shallow waters. This depth is capable of hitting all sorts of vessels, including PT boats. The main downside is that enemy ships can see the water trail made by the torpedo which can make enemy vessels evade or fire at the torpedo.

As a "modern" frigate, it completely changes the doctrine of previous destroyers and frigates, meaning it compensates armour with speed. It is able to reach speeds above 40 knots (~75 km/h), making it terrifyingly fast for a ship of its size and firepower, almost on par with lighter frigates and sub-chasers ([[Albatros-Klasse (143)]], [[Pr. 35]], etc). It is more than capable of reaching the battlefield faster than other destroyers and will outrun cruisers and battleships. When it comes to manoeuvrability, the F224 leaves nothing to desire. It is able to do tight turns (relatively tight turns but with greater speed than other frigates) as well as accelerate and decelerate quickly. Thanks to the relatively small size of the ship, it is able to stay on shallow waters compared to other frigates and destroyers which are likely to get stuck on rocks and any other obstacles.

-The Lübeck, as a Cold War frigate, has a very different playstyle to the WW2 frigates and destroyers, as armour is lacklustre and RPM is limited compared to some cruisers and destroyers. Thus, the Köln should be used as a support and anti air ship. The powerful 100 mm are able to decimate destroyers and even cruisers in minutes, not because of the rounds but for the rate of fire. The high speed and agility make it a decent runner when facing enemy ships and capping points. The torpedo can be formidable if used correctly, not only for the fact they are able to destroy whatever it hits but also because they are hard to aim due to the distances the Lübeck has to navigate in order to get into a decent launch distance. The 40 mm should be used as secondary weapons for everything but sinking heavily armoured ships. They are able to decimate light vessels in seconds as well as planes. For this same reason, the Köln should be used as an anti-air flagship as it is able to detect and engage enemy planes in a range of 130 km. Absolutely no aircraft will surprise the Lübeck while the search radar is active. The Lübeck, when used in Enduring Confrontation events, is the most reliable and "Jack-of-All-Trades" ship seen in-game. Not only because it is able to dominate the skies but also because it is able to decimate enemy convoys within seconds with the firepower and torpedoes, specially if said convoys are unarmed cargo ships.

-Absolutely '''NO''' battleship should be engaged with the 100 mm as they are mediocre and most of the time useless due to only using HE ammunition. However, they can damage and destroy outer modules like turrets, bridge, and smoke funnels, and can start fires. When facing heavily armoured vessels, torpedoes are a '''MUST''' as they will be your only reliable weapon against them. The Lübeck should zig-zag when being fired at as a single salvo is more than enough to instantly destroy you. Zig-zagging reduces the chances the enemy has to hit and due to the long reload, the Lübeck is able to close distance and fire torpedoes.

Despite not being the most well-armoured frigate in the game compared to vessels at the battle rating, it is comparable to other Cold War vessels firepower wise and mobility wise, even comparable with early cruisers and destroyers. The number of crew members, despite being relatively high, are not sufficient if head-on engagements are planned, for this reason the frigate should not be used in the frontlines as it will be often destroyed with couple hits of enemy ships, specially those with high calibre weaponry.

Do not rely on the armour unless enemy threat has firepower lower than 76 mm and even then, autocannons like the 40 mm Bofors mounted on USA and British ships will be able to cause critical damage if enough shots are fired.

Only the captain and the team will be able to see the torpedo symbol while traveling close to them and it will not leave any visible water trail compared to the 1 meter depth torpedo.
 The F224 can be armed with Mk.6 depth charges. They are useless in all naval battles. It is not recommended to load them in the ship as they do not have any practical use in game. On the other hand, the Bofors rocket system has its advantages in various combat scenarios. First of all, said rockets have an explosive equivalent of 107 kg, almost the same as a 250 kg bomb. They are deadly against all light armoured targets and can be used to destroy unarmed vessels (like in Naval Enduring Confrontation) or to create heavy exterior damage to enemy ships (disable turrets, destroy smoke funnels, destroy bridge, etc). Aiming this rockets requires practice as the low speed makes the fire adjustment tricky. Always use rangefinder to aim vertically, do not attempt to eyeball it as they will be inaccurate.

-The Lübeck, as a Cold War frigate, is far from being used as a WW2 frigate and destroyer as armor is lacklustre and RPM is limited compared to some cruisers and destroyers. Thus, the Köln should be used as a support and anti air ship. The powerful 100mm are able to decimate destroyers and even cruisers in minutes, not because of the rounds but for the rate of fire. The high speed and agility make it a decent runner when facing enemy ships and capping points. The torpedo can be formidable if used correctly, not only for the fact they are able to destroy whatever it hits but also because they are hard to aim due to the distances the Lübeck has to navigate in order to get into a decent launch distance. The 40mm should be used as secondary weapons for everything but killing heavily armored ships. They are able to decimate light armored vessels in seconds as well as planes. For this same reason, the Köln should be used as an anti-air flagship as it is able to detect and engage enemy planes in a range of 130km. Absolutely no aircraft will surprise the Lübeck while the search radar is active. The Lübeck, when used in Enduring Confrontation events, is the most reliable and "Jack-of-All-Trades" ship seen in game. Not only because it is able to dominate the skies but also because it is able to decimate enemy convoys within seconds with the firepower and torpedoes, specially if said convoys are unarmed cargo ships convoys.

-Absolutely '''NO''' battleship should be engaged with the 100mm as they are mediocre and most of the time useless due to only using HE ammunition. However, they can damage and destroy outter modules like turrets, bridge, smoke funnels and start fires. When facing heavily armored vessles, torpedoes are a '''MUST''' as they will be your only reliable weapon agaisnt them. The Lübeck should Zig-Zag when being fired at as a single salvo is more than enough to instantly destroy you. Zig-Zag reduced the chances the enemy has to hit and due to the long reload, the Lübeck is able to close distance and fire torpedoes.

-The Lübeck was the fifth ship of the Type 120 Class German Frigate during the Cold War. As her sisters, it featured the same role and combat used but with better electronics and systems, primarily working as a modernized version with newer fire control radars.
