I think there is still work left for WWII Sub games:
Incorporate both theaters all platforms or as previously suggested a Sims style add on to a basic concept.
1) Make the graphics better (there is almost no light at 100 plus meters - 400 feet eliminate it - make it feel like you are deep
2) Make the A/C more reasonable - now they do 9 G verticle climbs - looks clownish - no where is a U Boat caught on the surface by a night patrol and illuminated by a Search Light too bad. Not manning AA guns cause rough sea more BS.
3) Fix the OOB only 2 Yamato class BB's completed as BB's - interactions with IJN major combatants was not that frequent.
4) Make the sound more immersive i.e. when a DD is ping away in your rear quarter and making a run you SHOULD hear the effect from your speakers (if you have a 5.1 or 7.1 system) as the DD runs you over so should the sound.
5) If a moduled based than have a large scale option (i.e. you can move boats around and make deployment issues.
6) How cool would it be to make a landing and blow up a train or do an unusual barrage of missles on to a land target.
7) Make building blow up - US Boats shelled a number of shore installations as did the Japanese - now if you fire on something it is pointless.
8) Graphics Graphics Graphics - man there is some quality stuff out there by modders - great stuff already inplace - comenstae them and use it.
There is more but you get my drift.
Regarding Cold War - previous arguement stands - not enough data too much BS regarding Weapons, Sensors and reasonable capabilities (anyone really thought about why the US never built numbers in the submarine department quickly understands that they ruled the USW environment and quickly added advanced capabilities to force the Russians into the mindset of trading at least 1 for 1 SSN wise and caused the US NOT to have a follow on SSBN because of the superiority of the current class).
Stick with the WWII Genure - you have a good sound game plan SH series is the most successful Sub game series why? The formula works so far. You have not seen a long series of modern subsims why? because generally they suck (land attack SS-N-27, ASW SS-N-27

Man the BS Life Boat
