Right now DW is an ASW game .. period. The match of the plattforms is designed for that purpose only. Yes, there are capabilities within DW to be more then "just" an ASW game in the future, but thats still a good way ahead (not to mention lots of buyers for DW). As it is (and I think some people see it the same) before thinking about adding new plattforms, how bout getting the last kinks out of the current ones? Aside from that, and please don't take this personal, but I think the only people who should scream for an extension of the capabilites beyond ASW should be those who have mastered each and every one of the currently playable plattforms and have exhausted the possibilities of the game as it is. Personally I think that alone is a pretty big task - I'm doing Ok with a P-3 and sometimes with a Helo, but I would only say I'm Novice on a very good day on any other playable plattform. I think most others feel the same (tho the platforms may vary).
To make that point clear, with new playable platforms I mean things like an Arleigh Burke DDG or something to that extend, not an OPFOR package with matching ASW platforms for the current ones. The OPFOR package is in my eyes nothing "new" in terms of gameplay ... it just offers more options to the Mission Designers to toss at each other in the ASW game.
ASuW and AAW only play very limited roles in this game, and thats because it was designed that way.
