We're reading this forum as it concerns the ONLY site where fans of Cold War history can play a variety of platforms from the 1960s/70s through SCX/SCU.

If DW does not reflect the Cold War, then all it represents is a form of warfare which is rapidly becoming unlikely/extinct - when is a modern sub likely to be attacked, and by whom?

Give me the Novembers and Permits any day - I for one shall be staying with SC for a long time yet!

I think I am going to wait a little bit before I order DW. I'll wait for the pre-order rush and see what "bugs" turn up.

Like John said it's going to be interesting how fast the first "bug" will be posted.

I have �100 pounds on within 2 hours of it getting into someone's hands.

I pre-ordered mine because I didn't want to wait in case they ended up doing away with the 750 page spiral bound manual and only put it on the CD. Great red light reading material!!!!

I'll be waiting for awhile, too. Not that DW doesn't sound and look interesting, but I still enjoy SC/SCXIIC/SCU too much.

I'm another "Cold War" guy, and prefer to do my hunting in a less-capable Sturgeon or Permit class boat, and am just starting to get the hang of Russian sonar, too.

I'll wait a few months for some words from the players of DW, and decide when and if to buy. I'm sure it will be great.

Cheers.

I served in the Navy from 1958-1982, most of it on subs, and the cold war and many of the operations depicted in this sim are vey real to me.
I also love the hard work that went into building SCX, and I am still tying to get my courage up to activate SCU, I worry about screwing up.
I loved 688i, but the team that put SCX together made SC a great sim and I will play it aslong as I can.
Oh I will buy DW, I do hope they will keep the hard manual, but if they don't I will down load it like I did for SC, pain in the A.., but what does an old nuke?
I enjpu this sim and appreciate the work that has been done, I will wait and see what you experts say about DW, I truly respect what you say and when you gentleman say it good for an old man like me to buy, I will get it. I remember when SC was not very good until you fellows fixed.

Thank you and I will keep reading,

For you Cold War fans, I am planning a camapign based around all the old boats. Hopefully by the summer, but no promises, as these things always take longer than you think, and I am half-way through my Falklands campaign.

A cold War campaign sounds Awesome my friend!

One of the main reasons I am still playing SC is the fact that I get to patrol the icy North in my good old Sturegeon class and Thresher class subs.

I'm kinda a novice at creating misisons, but if you need any help or anything, give me a yell. Ping
