My issue isn't whether or not UUVs with ASW or ASuW capability are plausible. They obviously are. Its whether or not they actually exist in RL currently. Even the US Navy UUV Master Plan from 2008 (http://www.navy.mil/navydata/technology/uuvmp.pdf )states that it may be possible in the future for UUVs to have these capabilities, but currently they do not. Having UUVs in the game is the equivalent of having Rattlrs or hypersonic jets or laser point defense systems. They are all purely hypothetical currently. So IMHO its a deviation from RL tatics for players to be using them in the sim and represents a point of fantasty instead of simulation.

also would be good if there was a cold war campaign.
There is a DW conversion of the old SubCommand 688/SW and Akula campaigns floating around somewhere. Its quite good, but may require some fine tuning as it does not convert 100% with some minor bugs. Not sure where its hosted at the moment though.
