DWX/RA Mod is both good and bad. I love the ocean environment, the addition of many playable platforms, the addition and adjustment of many weapons, and playable Boomer subs of both Russia and the USA with launchable SLBMs.



-The problem with this mod is the Russian subs are totally unrealistic. The Russian nuke boats have been made unrealistically quiet. I see that at some depths/speeds the US subs cavitate, but Russian subs do not at same depth/speed combo. Try it....(Makers of this mod obviously give this mod an unrealistic Russian advantage in sensors/quieting by my testing of things)



-Super cavitating torpedoes in real world stocks is minimal, but in mod....Russian AI units use these as front line weapons. Again..not realistic at all. Maybe this has changed in the real world? And warhead is unrealistically powerful. Do these simulate nuke warheads? Again...not realistic.



-Russian subs again are too quiet. All sources in real world show US and UK nuke subs having a decisive edge in quieting and sensors against Russian nuke boats. Russians in real world have advantage in diverse option of weapons. Only latest build of Akula have quieting advantage "at low speeds only". This mod fails at this reality.


You of course can use DWedit to fix some of the glaring issues if you have the time...
