I really want nuclear reactor damage leading to radioactive steam and molten sodium being vented into crew compartments and then modelling damage control efforts. I really want to focus on what happens after a torpedo hits a sub and the crew is rushing around while the sub is uncontrollably sinking. Then crrsssrh, the sub bottoms out and the forward torpedo compartment is all that is left. The crew light oxygen candles and await rescue that never comes. After 4 days acute radiation sickness get em all, aside from those who's lungs were crisped by superheated steam who die due to asphyxiation at differing rates.

Damage control fascinates me, I worry for modern american ships with tiny crews, because a frickin fire in the galley could mission kill a ship.

the crew also run out of water on day 1 so its a race between radiation and dehydration and hypothermia!

aircraft carriers are big as gently caress. and they have HUGE HUGE engines because the carrier needs to go fast. we're used to seeing american carriers that either burn atomz or have gas turbines + vtol a/c.

kuzentsov is stol, and their strike loadout weight is riiiight up against the limits. If there isn't a breeze, they can't launch poo poo unless they push flank.

To launch aircraft the thing that matters is the speed of the air under the wing. So carriers without cats turn into the wind, and go fast to increase that speed of air under the wind.

Kuzentsov's aircraft launch without a full load of fuel if they carry any bombs, etc. So you see its a balacing game between the airspeed across the deck and the loadouts you can muster. This means when the kuzensov needs to launch aircraft it fuckin opens up all its throttles and brings us one day closer to the global warming apocylypse

american carriers don't need to do this. because we're leet as poo poo. Our dinky gas fired carriers do vtol so they don't need to go crazy to launch and recover aircraft, even our stol harriers / f-35bs are vtol as gently caress and can handle a larger envelope


also our engines are better I bet, with filters and poo poo so you don't get that horrid exaust cloud because the USN is enviromentally friendly or some bollux

No, it has 4-5 different sub types, including a non-nuclear diesel. [edit] Oh wait, I think you mean Non-Russian themed subs? They're all generics usable by any nation.

you know, during the cold war ships would sample the seawater looking for things like food / oil tracers in the ocean looking for hostile subs. Didn't ever work, but you can see it famously in The Bedford Incident which is a pretty crap movie overall. Retelling of Moby Dick, with a russian sub as the white whale.

Oh, I thought they were specifically that class of sub.

e: this game is pretty near but I can already see how it'd get a little shallow. Does anyone have any recommendations for a warship-simulator with a little more depth?

Besides the Silent Hunter series? Not sure. Naval Action might work for sailing ships, but the open world pesudo-MMO format kinda sucks and it might not be the right kind of in depth.

Actually what do you mean by in depth? crew management? campaign engine? etc etc?

They will have more than 1 sub, but no USSR subs playable.

I think they're doing 2 US subs for release, but they said they're making the game open to modding and are planning to support the game through DLC for a long time.

So it follows that more subs from different countries will make it in.

With modding, surface ships are a go. Just hope they do DLC just for surface warfare though.
