Any developments on the cold war?

I would pay £30 for an official expansion...I think that the obvious contents would be a russian ffg, helo and aircraft (bear).

What i think would be cool would be extra downloadable platforms. This has been happening sucessfully for MS flight sim for years.

A series of subs, ships and aircraft would be brilliant allowing those who wish to drive them the choice, as for the cost? well as long as it was comparable to the MS flight sim add ons id be happy.

Well the single ship of the Dolphin class is still in service but she is an AGSS with only one tube. The Barbel class (Barbel, Blueback, Bonefish) was the last combat SS.

If they do make a Cold War add-on (which I doubt) the Skipjack is a must since they were the most even when compared to Russian SSNs- Fast, Noisy, with big teeth.

I think the Il-38 May is a far better version to include, seeing as the Bear is a huge monster, and hard to handle. The transit from P-3 to Tu-145 would definitely not be smooth. The transit from P-3 to Il-38 might not either, but at least it wouldn't be that harsh!

There you go Sonalysts! A Cold War expansion sounds good.

But how would one separate the early and later era? By running up two different executables, by marking the names of the vessels with a particular prefix, or something else? Before a Cold War-expansion, I'd definitely like to see a Russia-expansion (with the Udaloy, Helix and May). A new campaign, with a new enemy.

I agree that the Skipjack would be a good addition to compete with the Foxtrots and Novembers. By the way, thanks for the Barbel reference!
