See that dot on the horizon, slowly disappearing?
That was my point - you missed it.

Well atleast they are not using the original Soviet terminology which is completely alien to the western player that they target.

Can you guys add the class designations at the end of each class?

For example Los Angeles SSN, Grisha III FF and so on.
Personally, I would have to research what a Leninskiy Komsomol is.
I agree, I like this idea.

That would definitely be interesting for a Soviet campaign if all Soviet terminology was used.

That would make a good toggle option, or perhaps a simple mod to change names.

From what I've gathered, this could be edited in a heartbeat, but I still think it should be vanilla - at best a toggle option, so everyone can decide for himself, yes.

The best option for making it vanilla in my opinion would be to bring it out if/when they make a soviet campaign. Also, I agree with your comment about platform references next to the names. I had a hard time remembering what platform a given name was even when I was in the Navy.

You mean class names or names of specific platforms?

Actually the unit reference does use the soviet terminology, since it is much easier to understand the roles of the ships.

Class names. When your driving you don't care so much what is named what, when you get moved to a more tactical position you start to learn more. I just didn't have enough time to learn them all.
