Default Nuclear weapons

Even adding some low kiloton yield weapons would be interesting. For example, the Soviets had a wide range of tactical weapons to include nuclear warheads on some 55cm and 65cm torpedoes, nuclear depth bombs carried by TU-142, Ka-25, Be-12, Yak-36, etc., not to mention the FROG-7 on the Minsk and Kiev class cruisers, and Shkval rocket torpedo (not even considering nuc whds on ASM's, SAM's, SSM's, and sub launched missiles).
Even if every system was modded with a low yield 5 kt warhead, it would be somewhat of a challenge to detect, close, plan attack, and escape (well, except for SUBROC type weapons, you're pretty much screwed).

Yours, &c.
