Crappy interface and bad colors.
Really, who wants to play with orange colors (i prefer the red of the akulas or the green of the los angeles).
Orange gives me a headache :rotfl:, notwithstanding the fact that you have to press twice as much buttons to achieve the same thing as on the other subs.

Ah, the Zen of the SeaWolf Class. :-j

I've always wondered about that too... :88)

I suppose it makes things less cluttered in a way... and that's really only for the sonar, as I do find the Fire Control Station pretty functional, I feel like I have more control over my weapons and countermeasures there.

But then again, I don't know how people play with Mk48's and TASM's. :cool: :arrgh!:

I feel like I'm bring a knife to a gunfight. :hmm:

Los Angeles all the way. I know it only has the four Torpedo tubes but I never needed anything more :lol:

Seawolf.....all the way. :up: Fast, Quiet, Lethal.


FFG-7 close second, with MH-60 running third.

688....why?
Well it is quiet,has nice endurance and can go deep,12 TLAMs....
And i like green.... :rotfl:

Los Angles class. 688i gives you great flexibility in missions without being rediculously decked out like Sea Wolf. Its a great American workhorse and well rounded.

FFG-7 rules :rock:


If there was a western diesel (prefferably collins) then perhaps it would have some competition, cause the kilo sucks.

FFG-7, OLIVER HAZARD PERRY-CLASS GUIDED MISSILE FRIGATE!

688(i) (aka 751 class). At least until a Cold War mod comes out with a 637 class platform. :lol:

I picked the Akula, mainly because of the Russian sound mod. In a month, I'd be able to count 0-9 in Russian :D

Well, I've never done multiplayer, but so far I've been able to win by lobbing SS-N-27s at my sub enemies. Never had a success with the Shkval though. Someday, I'd be able to pronounce that babble that goes on as I launch External Tube 1... :D

Bellman 01-04-06 10:52 AM

:lol: :up: Good hunting....enjoy. :D

Sea Demon 01-07-06 10:13 PM

I'm surprised more people here don't prefer the MH-60 helo. I can see why alot of people here like the P-3 as an air ASW asset. But MH-60 has it's own advantages. The ASW mission from the MH-60 is slower and more careful. You don't carry alot of sonobouys or weapons, so you have to be more skillful in localizing a target for prosecution. The good thing is you can hover and have a dipping sonar. Using this in conjunction with 2 sonobouys is useful for contact triangulation. MAD passes seem more controlled. I've found hunting submarines in the MH-60 to be quite enjoyable.

Overall, the P-3 is a better and more flexible ASW asset, but MH-60 still is quite useful in this role.

But still:

1. Seawolf (Sometimes FFG-7 rotates into #1)
2. FFG-7 (Sometimes Seawolf rotates into #2)
3. MH-60
