IGNORE!!!! THIS NEVER HAPPENED!!! KEEP ON GOING

Okay.... I've been designing a sub for some time and I want to know what you think of it. (pros, cons,) It is set to be released on JAn 17th. I want some feedback on the sub so I can improve it... I also want to know how much I should sell it for. Okay....

OOC:
Just out of interest how are the AA missiles to be used?

It is a bit unrealistic especially from the standpoint of speed only one sub that I know of can go that fast and even then going that fast was extremely demanding, example the Soviet made Alfa. It is a bit too well armed and I believe the space would be somewhat cramped. What is the purpose of AA missles for the sub, the only use of an AA system would have to be for diesel powered subs since they have to surface to recharge batteries and clean out the air. Nuclear subs do not and rely on stealth. I doubt any combat sub is equipped with this "(3) 6m unmanned under water vehicle, 18m robotic recovery arm" it serves no purpose for combat. Also how do you wish to fit all the ammunition upon that sub. Remember you need crew quarters, food storage, kitchen, control room, computer room, weapon system storage, a power system linked to your nuclear reactor, an air purification system, torpedo room etc. If you have ballistic missiles what is the purpose of the cruise missiles? Why also would you have harpoons which the one you would be using probably having the more limited range model of a max of 80 miles, why get that within that range of a ship that can probably destroy those missles before they hit the ship and then be only 80 miles away from tracking down your ballistic missle submarine. There are a lot of contradicting weapons on board this submarine. It seems as if you want to create an all encompasing Anti-Ship, Anti-Aircraft, Long Range Non-nuclear, Ocean floor surveyor, Ballistic Missle Submarine. This is a terrible design. The ship would have to be bigger then the Typhoon Ballistic Missle sub to approach this standard. Not only that this would be insanely expensive. Overall I give this design a very low score. Near Godmoding in order to create the so called "perfect sub"

To support your current army and navy if you have one and to produce enough of these new subs to make an impact would exhaust your resources in my opinion.

ok... I fixed it. Geez you don't have to be so harsh
