Ok,
First of all I never said I wanted other playable platforms.
Second, I fully know the caps and lims of an OHP (for Kapitain).
I know that is primary mission is ASW but with a limited (but somewhat more than feasible) ability to fight in ASuW and AAW.
What I am saying here, is that we should build more scenarios with other stuff than just purely ASW.
Modern frigates that are somewhat more multi-purpose, remain more capable on ASW than other field.
The reality of today is that we are going back slowly in the ASW because that was put aside for the last 10 years and a lot more money was put they enter more efficiently the fast and furious threat (missile).
I am on my PWO course now before going back on my next assignment (Halifax class frigate)
The Type 23, Brandenburg and Halifax class ship are all very potent platform. Against a stream of more than 4 missiles they (like the OHP) won't probably stand a chance. If you are in this situation than it is badluck or bad planning/disposition (or used as a ''CHAFF'').
What I would like to see is more scenario with a realistic/moderate surface/air threat and yes often (but doesn't have to be all the time) centered around an ASW threat.
Of course my favorite platform is the OHP. I am a Surface warfare officer. I am still trying to see myself as a CO of a cold War era OHP (with a fictitious SM-2), or of an actual Adelaide Modified Australian OHP that had only half of his modification (without ESSM) or another foreign country that are operating OHP (but again with something different than an SM-2. But at least I still have a SAM (compared with the actual american OHP.
I wanted to say that so we can have more people joining the DW world.
If you would have tell me (without having a clue of DW) that this game is an ASW game only, than I don't know if I would have had a look quickly at it.
Just my thought
