In 1984, the Soviets did not have fighters with good look down capability (the MiG-31 is a PVO interceptor and also quite new at that point), so it is actually realistic for an occasional P-3, flying low, to be able to sneak past any patrols. Doesn't that thought kind of make the game touching - the P-3 pilots risking death to fly their missions? I thought you wanted air support?

You know extremely little about the broader picture while playing the campaign (as is realistic). But even though you know very little, you automatically accuse. If you had promptly died to a Silex, and that ARG landed, some infantryman in Norway may well be thinking about why "no NATO assets" helped them out. Would that be fair?

  • control of the sub
  • crew voices
  • lack of mission variety (in 9/10 cases: go there, sink that)
Read my previous comments on the first two. As for the third, isn't that realistic?
