I only just realised that the Israeli ships I've been using are Sa'ar 4 (Reshef) class. So I went into the mission editor (RA version) to remedy this situation and low-and-behold, there are only Sa'ar 4 class corvettes available. So then I looked using the mission editor in the LWAMI version and saw only Sa'ar 4 and Sa'ar 4.5 classes. Neither Sa'ar 4 or 4.5 carry sonar, torpedoes or helicopters and are thus no challenge for a submarine to kill. Also, all news reports indicate the Israeli corvette currently in the gulf is a Sa'ar 5 and likely any other ships sent will be as well. The Sa'ar 5 is much more sophisticated that its predecessors and the three ships of the class are Israel's front-like warships. I would have assumed if any Israeli ships were included in RA/LWAMI it would be these, but it seems for some reason they are the only ones left out. Damn shame...
