Ageis platform and Virginia class

[LuftWolf]

SCS should have modeled a more capable ship besides the FFG-7

The focus of DW is ASW. The FFG is as capable in ASW as any other ship they could have modelled without the complications of other systems and capabilities, and is thus the best choice for this simulator.

If you want to play AEGIS, then try to find a copy of an old sim by that name, I hear it was quite good.

What complications are you talking about? The game has simplified systems as it is. Another more capable ship wouldn't be much different except a better SAM capability. Not to mention asrocs.

U.S ships and subs no longer deploy as rock

russians deploy the ASW SS-N-16 and SS-N-27 asroc typed missiles

The USN and certain allied navies do currently use vertically launched ASROCs; more accurate, carrying a more effective payload and longer ranged. I mentioned it before, the RUM-139 VLA.

Actually, it sucks. A lot of scenarios, the only way to win was to force the enemy to come at you by controlling their actions. Although it was quite realistic in that it used the same crappy and annoying music as real USN informational videos.

That person was either misinformed or joking. The Virginias are full generation ahead of the LAs and outshine even the Seawolves in the littoral regions.

I think he might be talking about me. I said for DW if you want a VA just take the 688(i) weapons interface and slap it on the SW. Because its basically a small SW with 688(i) weapons.

[Molon Labe]

That's not a bad idea. Should be a pretty low-cost expansion. =)

[Kapitan]

thats what i was meaning thanks TLAM

[Bellman]

But everything is 'possible' - like adding the SW sonar suite to the Ak.

Approved 'Hybrids' ? :hmm:

I'm not so sure...why would the US navy convert a Seawolf Hull to replace Parche over waiting for a year or two and converting say USS Texas.

It would indicate a Seawolf Class SSN is considered more or less equal to a Virginia...

A friendly jibe to make things on this thread a bit more interesting
...anyway, both classes are ten years behind the Trafalgar Class SSN anyway.
