I have no problem with the playables. It's the lack of variety in AI platforms that bothers me. HEN class subs were used all through the Cold War. Where is the o-so-scary Alfa? Earlier VICTOR or DELTA versions? More varieties of surface platforms? Sturgeons? Thresher/Permits? American SUBROCs?
My sense of things, looking at the available non-playables, is that they were trying to be very post-Cold War. I actually like that, but it's very limiting if you're making historical scenarios.
Honestly, though, the only simulator whose database I really like is Harpoons. *shrug* The only reason it can be as huge as it is, is that fancy graphics are not a part of that sim at all.
