Crappy interface and bad colors.
Really, who wants to play with orange colors (i prefer the red of the akulas or the green of the los angeles).
Orange gives me a headache :rotfl:, notwithstanding the fact that you have to press twice as much buttons to achieve the same thing as on the other subs.

Ah, the Zen of the SeaWolf Class.

I've always wondered about that too...

I suppose it makes things less cluttered in a way... and that's really only for the sonar, as I do find the Fire Control Station pretty functional, I feel like I have more control over my weapons and countermeasures there.

But then again, I don't know how people play with Mk48's and TASM's.

I feel like I'm bring a knife to a gunfight. :hmm:

Los Angeles all the way. I know it only has the four Torpedo tubes but I never needed anything more

Sea Demon · 01-03-06, 04:26 PM

Seawolf.....all the way.

Fast, Quiet, Lethal.

FFG-7 close second, with MH-60 running third.

688....why?
Well it is quiet,has nice endurance and can go deep,12 TLAMs....
And i like green.... :rotfl:

missleman01 · 01-03-06, 09:28 PM

Los Angles class. 688i gives you great flexibility in missions without being rediculously decked out like Sea Wolf. Its a great American workhorse and well rounded.

FFG-7 rules

If there was a western diesel (prefferably collins) then perhaps it would have some competition, cause the kilo sucks.

FFG-7, OLIVER HAZARD PERRY-CLASS GUIDED MISSILE FRIGATE!

bubblehd647 · 01-04-06, 08:21 AM

688(i) (aka 751 class). At least until a Cold War mod comes out with a 637 class platform.

Kazuaki Shimazaki II · 01-04-06, 09:18 AM

I picked the Akula, mainly because of the Russian sound mod. In a month, I'd be able to count 0-9 in Russian

Bellman · 01-04-06, 09:53 AM

Do you need to count past three ?

1. Thats a Mk48 ?
2. Heck - get outa town !
3. Aaagggh ! Gurgle, gurgle !

Well, I've never done multiplayer, but so far I've been able to win by lobbing SS-N-27s at my sub enemies. Never had a success with the Shkval though. Someday, I'd be able to pronounce that babble that goes on as I launch External Tube 1...

Bellman · 01-04-06, 10:52 AM

Good hunting....enjoy.

I'm surprised more people here don't prefer the MH-60 helo. I can see why alot of people here like the P-3 as an air ASW asset. But MH-60 has it's own advantages. The ASW mission from the MH-60 is slower and more careful. You don't carry alot of sonobouys or weapons, so you have to be more skillful in localizing a target for prosecution. The good thing is you can hover and have a dipping sonar. Using this in conjunction with 2 sonobouys is useful for contact triangulation. MAD passes seem more controlled. I've found hunting submarines in the MH-60 to be quite enjoyable.

Overall, the P-3 is a better and more flexible ASW asset, but MH-60 still is quite useful in this role.

But still:

1. Seawolf (Sometimes FFG-7 rotates into #1)
2. FFG-7 (Sometimes Seawolf rotates into #2)
3. MH-60
