Cold War Era Subsim? Where's the drama? Tracking a Soviet Sub around the 7 seas just won't 'do it' for me. Its boring enough in SH4 taking over an hour game time just to get 'on station'.
After WWII, war ceased to be 'fun'. All push-button, SONAR guided/wire guided/RADAR guided, ASROCs and other missiles - in other words: B-O-R-I-N-G (all caps).
Sorry to be so negative, but the Cold War was boring beyond belief (at least as far as a Subsim).
On the positive, there have been a number of books written about Cold War Clandestine operations that are at least worth a READ (remember books?). My personal favorites were written by Patrick Robinson, and all are available on AudioBook form (cassette or CD).
List of Patrick Robinson Titles (* = I've personally read, ** = presently on order from the library)
* Nimitz Class
* Kilo Class
* H.M.S. Unseen
U.S.S. Seawolf
** Ghost Force
* Hunter Killer
** Barracuda 945
* The Shark Mutiny
Subject Keywords:

I just hope Osama doesn't read any of the above - it might give him 'ideas'.
