I'm with you on the beefed up AAW defense, but I really like the idea of being able to extend helo ops beyond 20-30nm. CZ's occur in DW only at 30nm intervals, so as it stands now it's quite impossible (RA notwithstanding) to prosecute a sub in a CZ, which might as well be an unimplemented feature. SSGNs are, by the way, a threat outside of 20nm.
Oh, and here's the replay of the
Kirov getting wasted by the Perry.
