Could a SCS campaign be next? Since you weren't too keen on the Tigerfish, Spearfish and the Astute would be fun. Or the Seawolf/Virginia class with Mk48 ADCAP. I think the 60s campaign would be a lot slower, what with D/E boats and using straight runners/maybe some early passive homing fish.
I just went through my first Endgame mission against 2 Alfas and a Delta 3. The strangest encounter I've ever had. Both Alfas were just running in circles at 20kts and the Delta in slightly larger ones at 10kts. I just sat there watching them for ages trying to figure what the hell they were doing XD
What a fantastic episode. Your introduction was absolutely amazing. Captain Cooke, Owen Bradshaw, and the rest of the crew certainly proved themselves in that spectacular mission.
This has been, with out a doubt, the best playthrough series I have ever seen. The immersive gameplay style, the intense drama in almost every episode to the point where it almost seemed scripted (Just in this episode, the way the torpedo activated just a hair too late??), and of course: Those intro-narrations. My god. I don't think I've watched a full playthrough on youtube since I was much, much younger. It always seemed like too much time for too little return. But this series has been worth every minute I watched, and all the time I was waiting for new episodes. I hope it was also worth the time you put in. I am deeply gratefull for your effort. Thank you.
(The only thing I hoped for that didn't come true was an Intro-Style naration for the outro. One last story from captain cook, as he watches out over the ice from HMS Tireless, knowing that the world he sees would not end today, and that he and his men would get to go home at last. But that is a negligable detail compared to the effort that went into all this already, and the series is amazing as it is)
Cheers for this excellent series, Dave! As for the future of Cold Waters videos – how about the son of old Ed Cooke going to war in the South China Sea aboard one of the updated Trafalgar class submarines?
Incredible playthrough, incredible story, incredible mod! Would love to see more submarine content, as it is tense and satisfying in a way that I wasn't anticipating enjoying, but ended up being hooked on episode 1!
Really enjoyed this series, can’t wait for another one. Finally finished my own British 1984 campaign, I got gifted 2 Delta IV in the final mission, escorted by a Sierra and an Alfa, that got rather tense in shallow water… Fortunately the Alfa tried to surface and got stuck in ice, and the Sierra couldn’t outwit a single Tigerfish
Just wanted to add my own note of thanks for this series. It's been gripping and entertaining thoughout, and even occasionally educational. Thanks again.
Hell of a run, Dave. This playthrough has been an absolute blast. I realize that recording this series has been something of an undertaking for you, and I want to thank you profusely for the hours of entertainment.
I Very much enjoyed seeing the effort you put into this, especially since you finished of on the mighty Tireless (a submarine I served on, with many fond memories).
USET 80 is not wire guided, he probably fired 1 USET and 1 TEST 71, its a killer combo against nuclear subs, USET 80 forces them to turn and evade so the TEST 71 can catch up, TEST 71 guarantees the killshot.
Congratulations on finishing a great series! I'd love to see you take on a different campaign in Cold Waters, or a different sub sim!
What an intro, and the return of the heroic Captain Popov… This series has been a blast, congratulations!
If "The hunt for Red October" was a british movie…
"You've found something biologial."
"What is it?"
" A blue whale. A marine mamal that knows more about submarine tactics than you, seaman Beaumont."
"What are you? Big son of a B…"
"The fate of the world rests on that one shoddily manufactured british torpedo."
"Left full rudder!
What's he doing?
Battle tactics! He closed the range to the torpedo before it could go active."
"You soddy Jim? I'll make extra sure you die!"

Great intro! And hopefully, this game has a blue whale campaign 😀
It's okay to sink trawlers when it's War Crime Wednesday.
Thank you very much for this video series. Probably the best one I have watched in some time. I look forward to watching your next one!

the intro to this episode was fantastic, and the video was a great finale. well done.
Great Series! I would love to see more Cold Waters content!
After Morrowind, this has been my favourite series of yours. Thanks for playing Dave, Cheers!
More please.
I wonder if you could play an entire mission with just Moss's loaded and use the enemy torpedos to do your dirty work?
Really enjoyed this series, can’t wait for another one.

Brilliant series, best I have seen!
I'd love to see more of these!!!! GG
A glorious finale!
entirley possible to make an addon allowing brit subs in 60s
Great series! Congrats! 🙂
Blimey, one of the best cold waters series i've seen! A dramatic, sub-aquatic, rollercoaster.

Bravo Zulu! Excellent gameplay.

This was a very cool series. Great job on it, certainly not a game I knew about or would have thought to watch several hours of 😛
Also, i don't care that it's a towed array, it'll forever be Toad Array.
I'd love for you to complete an Australian campaign in a Collins or an Australian OHP destroyer
Great Cold Waters campaign, especially the excellent intros. Clearly, you've put in work behind the scenes for those, and it shows.
50:00 Really should have had the torps use active sonar, it does a better job of keeping track of enemy subs.
54:00 No Spearfish? That sucks… 🙁

Subs……
