Lets keep the 2 things distinct.
In real life this was a test ok, there is nothing operational right now.
No sub has the capability to launch surface to air missiles.
So this aspect should not be included in the sim.

As to cheat i was referring in regards to the use of sams.
Its inconceivable that in 1 sec you can have the sub skirting under the surface and right after fire a sam.
You don't even have to clear the sail completely to fire.
The missiles themselves just hit whatever plane/helo is in the zone, you don't even have to put the crosshair on the target. And last but not least, those sams are just to effective almost godlike in their effectiveness way beyond what can be seen in real life.
For these reasons i called the use of sams a cheat.
And sub players using it as it is now in the game, are cheaters.
If you are offended by my last sentence, its your problem.
Its my opinion.
