Yep. Probably the most silent subs in service today.
Else: give me a carrier!
serious: a russian equivalent to the sim's frigate, helo, recce plane would be politically correct.  But I personally would welcome sub stuff more than any surface or flying things - these simply do not catch my interest.
But I do not even guess about addons. These will take many years to realize, judging by the ridiculously slow pace at which they do their patch - which goes first of any addons. Fix what is there before mess it up again by adding new things. |
Rounding out the ASW battlespace has nothing to do with political correctness. It's about finishing what was started. Right now, we have a choice of platforms that allows sub v. sub games and Russian/Chinese sub v. US ASW. Adding the counterparts to the new playables gets US subs v Russian ASW in. Being able to turn things around makes for a much better game.
Currently, surface and air warfare are crudely modeled, but the ASW battlespace is close to where it needs to be. It's just more efficient for SCS to finish the ASW component of the game before hitting the surface and air warfare hard. DW (or possibly its sequel) is an evolutionary project which will eventually fully integrate all battlespace into one game. It's not easy to do right, so skipping around is not going to produce as good a product as finishing the parts they started will.
