I'm not too interested in playing scripted missions, either, which is what a cold war sim would have to be. Anyway, we have DW, so we can see already how a cold war sim would be. Aside from a graphics update, DW pretty much has it all. Find da sub, follow da sub with your sensors. *Yawn* And this coming from someone who
likes DW. But, let's face it, the gameplay is pretty much one-dimensional, due to the inherently scripted nature of the missions. That's not DW's fault. They just don't have an entire war they are able to model and incorporate into the gameplay. And anything you come up with as far as modern sub sims goes would necessarily border on science fiction. Nothing wrong with that, either. I rather like science fiction. But the SH franchise has concentrated on WWII so let's keep that going.
Modern subs have their place. But not in SH.
And if anyone thinks WWII Battle of the Atlantic is all played out...well, they either haven't read their history, don't realize how much more detail can be modeled in controlling u-boats (including weapons, stalking, immersion, etc) with the computing power now available to us, or both.
I vote u-boats. Not that anyone in any business capacity is listening to our votes, of course....
