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.

No word on adding designations next to the class?

The unit reference/museum has the sovit designations. Large anti-submarine ship, patrol ship, military transport etc.

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.
