Completed my second campaign to date. Apparently the only chance one gets to hunt SSBNs is the final campaign mission.

I'd like to have a chance to do so other than that. I'd like to edit in some SSBN missions. Currently I simply replicated the 2 SSBN_patrol final missions and added them as normal missions.

But my question is, what would be the Soviet SSBN doctrine during the 1984 time frame, realistically? Would they stay at the backyard bastion or venture towards American east coast via a breakout? If it's the latter, I ought to make some more missions where an SSBN wolfpack would transit the Norwegian/Greenland sea towards the North Atlantic.

Googling finds very vague answers. Wiki suggests "3rd gen" boomers staying back while older ones go to the eastern seaboard or some such. But I never believe wiki all that much..
