The Perfect Nuke Sub Sim?

Frankly I'm convinced that dynamic campaigns for modern naval warfare simulations are just useless. Don't cite RSR which at its heart was extremely simplistic.
The time scale and enormous distances involved just don't do well with a dynamic campaign.
You either have to focus the scope of the simulation so much that you're basically dumbing down naval warfare, or you need to have something so complex (a complete modern warfare simulation) on a theater/planetary scale that you're just never going to see something like this on a pc.
The way to go is to have a very versatile editor that lets you setup any kind of confrontation you may think of and give you the option to link one mission against the other. In other words an extension of the mission editor we already have in dw.
