Hey. Very nice to hear about this new mod. I have long thought about merging good stuff of RA with LWami. RA introduces a lot of technical nuances such as AI search patterns to ship borne helos. But LWami object models are definitely better. Also, RA takes away VLS launches from VLS capable ships. So visually, all SAM missiles launched from Tico and Arleigh were going horizontally. The only thing I would love to see is higher max speed for VA class. 688i is about 2k tons lighter than VA, but VA has 30% more power. 688i can make 33kts, so proportionally, VA should be able to attain the same speed. Seawolf is optimized for deep ocean ASW warfare against Soviet subs, so it would have advantage in deeper diving and faster speed. But sensor wise, Seawolf and VA should be on par to each other.
