What we are currently working on falls more into the catagory of "gameplay mod: realism," so we are currently focusing our efforts on tuning the gameplay to work as well as possible.
Periscope Depth has been working on adding additional Navies and platforms into the database, which we will probably include in a subsequent release, but at this time, it remains on another level than we are currently working.
Also, we can add the platforms to the database, but mission designers would STILL have to decide to include them in their missions, and this would make those mission incompatble with the standard database.
Thanks for your suggestion!
PS When/if DWX comes out, there will be a whole bunch of new platforms added to the game, as they have the advantage of using their 3-d models from SCX, which represents a considerable body of work.

Nice work on the AEGIS/link discovery.
If you are thinking about adding AI platforms, I think a good place to start would be on SAM/SSM installations, since they are quite generic. Some badass shore-based SSMs besides those whimpy little Styx's would be great!
The Russians are also short a few key ships, like the Kiev class VTOL carriers (a great addition to limit the patrol areas of MPA), and the US is missing several classes of auxiliary ships that tend to deploy with carriers. Yep, a wish list once again.
