New ship needed.

How about the Arleigh Burke class to go with a new carrier and Persian Gulf? Seems like it would fit in with the timeline, early 90's.

Arleigh Burke would be great, especially if we can get multiple variants.

 

To be honest ships as a whole needs a bit of a makeover, pretty much all current ships need some sort of overhaul both graphically and functionality wise.

 

Even the relatively more recent Oliver Hazard Perry class and Ticonderoga class could do with a bit of a refit, even if low priority - there are details missing as well as certain bits that don't look right (the Mk15 Phalanx models are quite a bit off) as well as things like the Mk41 VLS which at the moment on has RIM-66 and BGM-109C available to it. No ship has functional ASW weapons/sensors - so no torpedoes, no ASROC, no anti-submarine rockets, no depth charges, no mines. The ZIF-122 launcher for the SA-N-4 has a broken animation for reloading the missiles (last time I checked) and the Mk13 launcher on the Oliver Hazard Perry class doesn't have an animation at all.

 

Ships don't have decoys or even simplified EW equipment.

 

Our fantastic looking more recent Kilo class attack submarines aren't functional in any sense, they are fitted with animations, including the torpedo tubes, planes, masts and antennae, it even has an underwater launched cruise missile to go with it. But none of it is functional.

 

I'm guessing we'll see lots of improvements to the maritime environment - were going to have to if we're going to see proper amphibious assaults and things like that. And seeing as the F/A-18 will have the Mk-40 Destructor and Mk-63 Quickstrike Sea Mines (https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3285514&postcount=13) I'm guessing we'll see underwater and ASW post DCS 2.5.0
