Is this a minority interest ? Are there any folk out there who would like to skulk with the Hulk in MP ?

Say we scripted *reduced functionality of an Ak to simulate a Boomer and tasked tightish timed SSN escort/intercept
sub v sub scenario/s ? Anyone out there like to get some very cold feet - on the rocks or iced ?

Plenty of 'ole B17 or F18 mud movers might see the challenge !

*We have got some ideas to overcome 'damage' recovery but if anyone has 'been there and done that'
- any advice would be very welcome !

But first - is there any demand for MP roles for Boomer drivers out there ?

Id love to play as a boomer preferable a yankee or delta class, i realy realy would love that.

Im not realy a good attack boat skipper id rather be on the boomers cause it suites me right down to the ground. id rather be a captain of a yankee or Delta than captain of an akula.

I still think that manning a boomer is a very boresome task.
What happens when you are detected in a mission ?
Is the sub capable of going up against a last generation hunter/killer submarine ?
I don't think so. I've always seen boomer commanding as a one way mission, nut much variety in that.

G: It could depend on the mission - if you were navigating tricky waters say choke point with ice, escorted by
2 SSNs with the Boomer Capt in charge of coordinating activity - there could be a good challenge.

I guess its like when the Captain stuck you in goal at school - you put up with it for the team. Seen as a group exercise
it might be fun. :lol: Next game you take a SSN and some other guy moves to the Boomer. But all more interesting
than escorting/intercepting a dumb AI Boomer ?

For me to know that in the area is SSN hunting me (SSBN) would be very satisfing.I would use all my knoledge to stay undetected and defend if I were detected.But most real life scenarios (that never occured) should happen under polar ice!

Only the russians deployed SSBN's under the ice americans left thier mid atlantic, however many did come as far as scotland and bearents sea in the early years.
