Well the problem is that the fun of that campaign would be to actually control the Thypoon, so you can make the different missions: Exit Poljarny, Lose your "escort", break out in the Atlantic, rendezvous with a 688i, kill the Alfa that is sent to kill you, etc.

Well... we could modernize it. We could always make Red October an Akula (we can even enhance it through the database a little to reflect the sub from the book if we feel like it). Other than that change, I think it's pretty doable.
Other options would be to keep the Red October as a Typhoon and have the player controlled platforms be the ones that are interacting and hunting the October while opposing each other... IE.. US ships/aircraft and Russian boats.
I also noticed that the current DW with LWAMI doesn't have the Alfa's in it while Sub Command does so we may have to wait for the next LWAMI where the SC database will be entirely ported over, mod it in ourselves, or just change the Alfa to a comparable sub in the DW database.
I'm sure people would forgive the change of making October an Akula since that would still give them the feel of stealing a Russian sub and running with it like what happened in the book considering the fact that we can't make a playable Typhoon.
