I for one hope they stay in the Cold War era for now. I think this was the golden age of nuclear submarines and Cold Waters does an excellent job of capturing the feeling of the era. I would like the developers to stick with it and expand upon it, such as with a Soviet campaign, allies campaigns, and additional theaters such as the Mediterranean and the North Pacific.
In the longer term I would love to see a potential successor game that is a bit closer to Fast Attack or Sub Command, with the introduction of dedicated stations, paired with a more open Silent Hunter-style campaign that puts more emphasis on search, hunt and the unknown element. Cold Waters is great and a lot of fun and I understand (and agree) that for a small team the game had to be designed in this way. Now I hope that with a financial successful game at their backs (hopefully), Killerfish can expand and build a more complex subsim.
