1. Present Cold War sub sims are very in accurate and frankly pretty stupid overall - simply not enough data is available to make it accurate enough - much easier to make a modern tank or Aircraft sim as you can get a pretty close feel on much of it. Nuclear Sub sims are simply not well done (on a SH level). Cold War 46 - 52 does not match up well historically either - NATO would have swept the seas of any creditable Soviet threat forcing a nuclear confrontation or withdrawal. NATO vs PRC ??????? Atlantic - Pacific - not happening. There was a SEATO organization but it seemingly evaporated. A PRC Vs Japan scenario is plausible and meets some of the points. Take a look at the historical timeline involved after WWII and the numbers of ships involved and my point is made.
I maintain my suggestion of bringing in the other Navies of WWII (Japan, UK, France, Italy) under there respective alliances and make them playable OR bring SHIII up to SH IV video quality, SHIV to SHIII interface, playability and merge them into one sim and add the other countires submarine forces - on a global scale would be pretty involved and entertaining.
