lol whats the project atm?

ETR3(SS) · 02-16-10, 09:54 PM

Trying to get the periscope and the periscope fairing to raise separately but at the same time.

Krauter · 02-16-10, 09:56 PM

for the 688i?

Sorry but what is the difference between the periscope and the fairing?

ETR3(SS) · 02-16-10, 09:59 PM

A periscope fairing is the teardrop shaped thing that goes around the periscope to reduce drag and help prevent damage to the scope itself.

EDIT: Here's a picture for everybody.

Ahh OK I get what you mean, so for example on the 688i mod its the, for lack of a better description.. white tear shaped area before the actual scope head with the random black splotches? One last thing, what are these splotches used for :s?

ETR3(SS) · 02-16-10, 10:25 PM

Those random splotches are camouflage.

wasn't "First and Finest" the Nautilus' motto?

ETR3(SS) · 02-16-10, 11:11 PM

And the Ohio too.

EDIT: never mind Ohio is "Always First"

So Russian submarines will or not?

ETR3(SS) · 02-17-10, 12:06 PM

Russian subs will be included. The extent of the details is unsure at the moment though.

How do those splotches manage to camouflage the scope

imagine it through night vision googles...

black/light pattern is best to confuse them

Ahh ok makes sense

I always thought the black splotches were part of the photonic masts.. then I remembered only Seawolf and Virginias have those

ETR3(SS) · 02-17-10, 12:22 PM

Actually only the Virginia has the new photonics masts if I remember correctly. They may have added them to the Seawolf class.

I am working on the Akula and the Graney class as of now. There is a possibility of the Alfa.
