Well, I'm ashamed to say that I didn't think of this.  I retract my idea to limit SH5 to the Cold-War. As you've hinted at, a near future theoretical campaign could be what we need, a Red Storm Rising like scenario anyone? I just wanted to see a sim incorporating Post WW II diesel/electric subs and some of the early Nukes, including the odd reactor leak and everything!  |
Now that idea certainly has legs
Many scenarios to be played out here:
1. A resurgent Russian fleet backs up an increasingly agressive foreign policy. Maybe Russia attempts to take control of the Arctic Ocean so as to exploit natural resources. Imagine sub to sub combat under the Ice!
2. China attempts to control the pacific with an enlarged fleet of SSN's.
3. Iran tries to force US from Arabian Gulf with her KIlo class subs etc.
And thats just three off the top of my head linked to RL events and developments in the world.
