This is one of the most original mods I have ever seen

I wonder if a Minelayer could be made... (Anyone ever tried making Torpedoes with 0 speed?)

nice....i think this would challenge the most seasoned players.

doing re-supply and insertion missions with only a deck gun and a flak gun or two is difficult....and staying alive when zeros and the like are on your tail is even more difficult. and just wait till you have a sub on your tail!

first one to get a kill with her gets a pat on the back !

and i guess there's no deck gun....could we have one?

Cool! Now it's hard to run out of fuel with this...:rotfl:
Nice mod, really. if we only could create missions like "replenish subarine USS *submarine_name* (coordinates)".. maybe one day we will..

It's good to see how this game is getting better with all the mods this community is creating

Good job boys, and THANKS!

any chance of an american BB (1.4?) or cruiser to counter the 1.5 panzershiffe?

Great job. Care to put together a tutorial on how you did this? I have some modelling skills and with the release of S3D, adding units seems a lot easier.

1500 tons ? no worth pay a torpedo for this ship, i will use my deck gun .

Great work !!

and very nice screens, it´s nice have some new things in the sim, and expand the limits of gameplay.

ps- the water in some pics is very real, are you using some mod ??

John W. Hamm · 04-27-08, 04:04 PM

My only issue's that I have so far is that if that

1. Once your Battle station claxon starts sounding it never goes off, no matter what you do

2. when you take damage it never shows in your Crew management screen, so it is never fixed.

3. I can't fire my AA guns.

Hey, Mik, have you ever think of using a troop transport to do spy insertions, supply missions, commando raids? :hmm: :hmm:

andycaccia · 04-27-08, 04:20 PM

It's the right ship to make lifeguard and replenishments. I always hear the sinking sound, but it's a nice background after all...on an old rusty tanker it's hard to have a silent cruise..

I did not notice the AA issue...my ones fired...the bow one for sure. And the damage...i have been bombed but nothing happened. My little floating tank stayed afloat.

But, Mikhayl, what do you mean with "I didn't bother with the damage stuff"??
Are you sayng this ship has no damage model?

But I didn't link the damage boxes to the .upc file so the damage doesn't show in the damage screen and you can't repair it. To be honest I didn't expect more than 1 or 2 replies so I didn't push the concept much, it's just refreshing to cruise in W_Clear or Kriller's envmods with that rust bucket and it brung back some cool memories to me

Lil Subsim, I choose this ship because of its design, it's almost "all open" so you can pretend you're walking from bow to stern. The liners and transport are "closed" so it's not that cool.

Yes I agree, but do not underestimate what you have done. This mod is very very nice. Seriously. It's nice because it is original and because it's the first mod that gives us the ability to sail a merchant.
It has a great potential. Jus wonder if the game had AI subs and we played for the other side...
I'd like to suggest to improve an continue you focuses on this "merchant mod" and especially on the german merchant raider.

John W. Hamm · 04-27-08, 03:59 PM

Well on my first mission I was sent to insert a guy in on main land Japan!!

As you might reason this is a job for a sub

But my crew was up to the task

And of course as one can imagine, if you send an oiler to do a Subs job... The oiler will become a sub:hmm:

So I thought you all might enjoy seeing my valiant crew at work

After getting into the main harbor in Japan we are caught by a DD...
he even stalks us for a while (as though he can't believe what his eyes are seeing)
but then he opens up on us

And then began Ramming us

To the point that the old Orian gave in and began to sink... the crew stayed at their post gallantly calling out the dpth as we sank...:rotfl:

Even as we reached the Bottom my valiant crew stood their Post

Where they still stand to this day
