ThexLoneWolf2020 Posted October 21, 2024 Posted October 21, 2024 Currently, our options for U.S. versus Russian surface ships is rather limited, we basically only have one to two classes of cruiser, destroyer, carrier, and frigate each. I'd like to see an expanded list of ship types for us to include in our naval scenarios, particularly late cold-war scenarios. These include, but are not limited to: Pegasus-class missile boats Nanuchka-class missile boats Garcia-class frigates Knox-class frigates Krivak-class frigates Adams-class destroyers, early and late variants Kidd-class destroyers Gearing-class destroyers, both WWII era and with FRAM upgrade kits Kanin-class destroyers Kashin-class destroyers Udaloy-class destroyers Sovremenny-class destroyers Iowa-class battleships, both WWII era and post-modernization Virginia-class missile cruisers Belknap-class missile cruisers Galveston-class missile cruisers Kara-class missile cruisers Kresta-class missile cruisers Kynda-class missile cruisers Moskva-class helicopter carriers Kiev-class aircraft carriers Sverdlov-class light cruisers In addition to the above, I'd like to some more hypothetical naval units in DCS, ships that were drafted and considered for construction, but for one reason or another, were never actually built. Stuff like the Soviet Project 1153/1160 Orel, for example, which would've been the first true blue water aircraft carrier in Soviet service, had it come to fruition as envisioned. 5
bies Posted October 23, 2024 Posted October 23, 2024 Agree, Cold War era Soviet and NATO warships would be great. Especially considering how many additional modules from the era is coming. I'm not a fan of fictional ones though. There are dozens real ones to model first. And some day operating from the ships in SH-3, Lynx, Seahawk, Ka-25 or Ka-27 with anti-submarine-warfare modeled. 1
upyr1 Posted October 25, 2024 Posted October 25, 2024 I request more ships quite a lot. We have a passable Vietnam to early 2000s carrier airwing in the works and we need the correct ships. For the most part I don't see the what ifs being anything but community add-ons. Though I think you could give the IOWAs and ALASKAs would make decent stand-ins for the Soviet Soyuz and STALINGRADsI don't know what all is going to be added in the way of WWII ships but here is a brief summery of my wishlist though WWII- the overlord invasion fleet The ships involved with the Marianas campaign What-if scenario ships BISMARK, Alaska, Dutchlands Any axis ship that was operational and transferred to the Soviet Navy would be great for cold war what ifs Cold war - DesMoines Class heavy cruiser Baltimore- Guided missile cruiser conversion Long Beach 1960s configuration Forestal ENTERPRISE angled deck Essex French carrier battlegroup for the F-8 Royal Navy carrier strike group Tiger-class cruiser HMS Vanguard ---- 1
