Neat. But I do have to say, such an arrangement would drastically reduce the pressure hull, hence living area. Perhaps having the tubes inside the mouth, with the breeches inside the pressure, to make it more realistic. But then again this is a fantasy ship, so who cares really.

Well there are some limitations to the design. I don't know if it is possible to lock the torpedo tubes when the sub is surfaced but the mouth is only supposed to open when the sub is submerged. The upper teeth, which probably won't be animated, are designed so when the tips bend in the mouth is flooded with water. It's kind of like it's own ballast tank. Down below the finished mouth is pictured with the four tubes inside.

Also because of the mouth limitation I have made a drop torpedo design. (final picture) Pretty much just opens up and drops the torp in the water. On each side one torpedo will face forward and one backward.

Finished Jaw design

Aft tubes

Drop tube design

Still neat. I like.

Now if only you could make the "Sea Quest" submarine......this is an awesome design btw

U-46 Commander · 07-11-09, 12:45 PM

The Sea Quest submarine looks interesting. I may have to try my hand at modeling it.

Well I'm glad that I will able provide you with a top notch ship.

U-46 Commander · 07-12-09, 08:05 PM

would it be possible to have the deck guns come out of the deck? Like when you have the crew or you man the deck gun, the deck gun rises out of the hull.

Silverwolf · 07-12-09, 08:21 PM

I don't know. It's something that'd be cool if I could figure out a way to get it to work. I think I may know how to get it to work when the sub submerges but not when telling the crew to man the deck gun. I'll have to take a look into it and see if it's possible or not.

U-46 Commander · 07-13-09, 11:25 PM

That would be great! How about making it that when the bow planes raise, it also brings out the deck guns. I am not a designer....I just come up with ideas.

I need something similar for the coming Sen Taka IJN submarine : they had collapsible guns, so they would only come out when surfaced.

tell me if you find out how to do that please

It would require the hatches to be translated into the bow planes piston node, for that is what gets them to go down

Silverwolf · 07-15-09, 09:48 PM

Yup that's pretty much how it works. Since there are two dive planes one should be used to handle the guns going up and down and if they had covers that's what the other one should be used for.

I started to texture the sub, right now I've got a great white scheme going I plan to do a tiger shark and possibly another one.

Alex Rowe · 07-16-09, 12:35 PM

this is an amazing looking vessel! and im glad to see that the sea quest peaked you intrest hope u give him a go

Saturnalia · 07-16-09, 04:38 PM

Would adding a deck gun that shoots lasers be too much to ask?
