Here is the main information:

Soviet Campaigns (North Atlantic Red 1984 and North Atlantic Red 1968)

The mod is an attempt at making 1984 and 1968 campaign playable from the soviet perspective.

Added weapons:
* MK-46 torpedo
* MK-50 torpedo
* ASROC

Each US unit has its own sensors, but no claim is made on sensors realism.
MAD detection range has been lowered to 500 yards, in config file.
Noise levels of all units has been adjusted (see database in excel sheet) in an attempt to make the sim more balanced yet realistic.

Playable submarines in the 1984 campaign are:
* Victor II
* Victor III
* Alfa
* Sierra
* Oscar
* Charlie I
* Charlie II

Playable submarines in the 1968 campaign are:
* Victor I
* November
* Echo2
* Foxtrot
* Charlie I

Main campaign scope is to cut off North Atlantic sea lanes.
Current mission types for player unit are SSN_Wolfpack, Resupply_Convoy apart of the usual (hardcoded) RTB and SSBN_Patrol.
Current mission types for enemy units are SSN_Patrol, Resupply_Convoy, ASW_Patrol

Credits: CaptainX3 for original model of Typhoon, Oscar and Los Angeles Improved with VLS, P500 and P700 missiles, Mk50 torpedo and soviet weapon sprites.

changelog:
ver 1.0 first release
ver 1.01 second release

- Merged files changed with version 1.05b.
- Temporary fix for asroc bug, with ship firing asroc but torpedo not dropping and missile circling over drop point.

- Slight adjustment to sonar parameters for US surface ships and helicopter
- Fixed ownship invulnerability bug

ver 1.01b hotfix1

- Fixed unsinkability of Perry and Knox frigates

- early ASROC associated to Farragut, Garcia and Charles F. Adams class destroyers, late ASROC associated to Spruance and Knox class escorts
- created late Essex class ASW carrier model for 1984 campaign, identical to Essex class ASW carrier but equipped with SH-60 helicopters instead of SH-3D
- adjusted warhead weight of light weight torpedoes.It will require more hits from Mk46, Mk50 and UGMT-1 to kill a submarine. Adjusted warhead weight of Soviet torpedoes and missiles

This sound very promising aaken

discfanatic · 06-30-17, 11:43 PM

so excited for this mod

Fercyful · 07-01-17, 12:25 AM

Hurra !!

cookiemonste · 07-01-17, 04:27 AM

Why do I have the feeling that everybody is going to play as Alfa?

Sounds interessting. Keep up the work.

aaken · 07-01-17, 08:52 AM

Link to first beta release added on first post of the thread
Cheers,

Played one mission in an Oscar and promptly got blown up by an American helo dropping two torpedos on me. Man that Oscar handles like a brick. Lol. Anyways I was rescued by friendly comrades and went to select a new sub for continuing the campaign. I selected the Charlie 2 and the game seemed to crash/lock up at a screen that looked like this.......https://imgur.com/a/9Frp0.

PS. Arrggghh. Looks like I'm having trouble posting an image. I posted a link to my image at Imgur and it doesn't look like it's visible on here. Just follow the link I guess. Any tips for how to correctly post an I shed where it's viewable on here would be welcome.

aaken · 07-02-17, 11:52 PM

Fixed crash with Charlie2. Updated link at first page

suitednate · 07-03-17, 02:53 AM

Got a mission (as a Soviet) to find and intercept an enemy cruise missle submarine (I'm an Oscar class).........gotta be a bug right?

PS. I love this mod. ��

suitednate · 07-03-17, 03:02 AM

I failed to find the cruise missile sub.......mission failed.....I get a news report of how I failed to protect "Soviet Convoys".....what??!! Didn't know the Soviets had convoys ding dongin around the Norwegian or Greenland Seas in the event of hostilities between them and NATO......

What Soviet convoys?! This wasn't a war strategy of their's (the Soviets)......this makes sense on no level.

Again I love your mod. These just seem like glaring oversights.

cookiemonste · 07-03-17, 03:15 AM

The american subs are ultra hard to find.
That might be due to the fact that that the russians are not intended to be played.

aaken · 07-03-17, 04:19 AM

Will check the coherency of the tasking messages. I am converting the 1968 campaign and thinking to include asw carriers (like essex, iwo jima and so on) to the asw groups. Unfortunately this week I will be on business trip. I may try to work a bit in hotel.
Cheers

Russian submarines are really too disadvantaged vis-à-vis the Americans. Their code must be rewritten.

aaken · 07-03-17, 10:16 AM

Indeed the sonar and acoustic performance has not been changed with respect to vanilla 1.05.
Also consider that you are probably playing with more advanced soviet subs, like the victor 3. Wait to try the old november in the 68 campaign ; )
I have not changed any of those values since i don't have data to back the modification. I mean, i could arbitrarily increase or reduce the noise level of such boat but it would remain an arbitrary modification. But I'm open to suggestions

Hello

I play the Alfa and before it detects something receives 3 torpedoes.

I would like to believe that the American submarines detects more easily but there is abuse there.
In fact the game is not made to play the Russians or you have to change the values.
