I am not saying it's not realistic, but it is my opinion nuke subs are quite screwed in DW as it is. It seems weird that most powerful nations built hundereds of multi mega zillion dollar subs, crewed by hunreders of their best sailors per sub if they are so easy to find, detect and destroy by equipment worth 5% their price, and crewed by 5% their complement as DW sometimes makes us believe.
In short, DW already has pretty strong anti-sub slant overall, in my humble opinion, so when asking for changes or mods to be made be careful what you wish for...

Subs in DW are screwed because active sonar detection ranges are determined by the size of the display and not be acoustic condidtions. If this can be fixed...and LW/Amizaur's mod might just do this...then subs will be able to be sneaky like they should be. Which also means modeling detectable masts wouldn't be a bad idea, as long as detection wasn't immediate and/or automatic. I think it would be cool if you had to worry about how long you left your masts up.
You are right though, in stock DW as it is now, we don't need any more anti sub bias. Especially since the periscope is our only hope of surviving a P-3 or MH-60!
