[WIP] New Attack Submarine

[Karle94]

I am working on a new kinda nuclear powered sub, she`s named the Hercules. The Hercules has the role of the SSGN and SSN. SS(G)N
I have uploaded the V1.0
d/l: http://www.filefront.com/15464099/Hercules%20SS%28G%29N_V1.0.rar
If there`s any bugs then notify me.

Depends upon the look and feel of it I'd say. So can't help with the boat naming yet.

[Karle94]

It`s a crossover between the Los Angeles and Ohio class.

[ETR3(SS)]

Got a model yet?

[Karle94]

Better. I already have it in game.

[ETR3(SS)]

Got any screenshots?:D

[Karle94]

Here they come:

Wow, it looks a lot like some of the early US SSBN's. If I were you I'd try to go that route and see if you could make those.

[Krauter]

She's a beaut that's for sure,

Kind of reminds me of the Le Terrible mod..

For naming it depends on which 'nation' she belongs to >< If US I can't help you there, the general naming conventions don't apply to hybrid SSBN/SSNs :nope:

It looks almost like the Washington Class of SSBN's, except there is no space between the front and back half of missile tubes.

I was on the Lincoln (SSBN602).

There was also a hatch just aft of the missile tubes on the Turtleback, as well as the escape hatch that you have shown.

[ETR3(SS)]

Man, I swear every week another bubblehead pokes his head out. :haha:

[Sledgehammer427]

I was going to say it looks kinda like a Washington. I swear they are a bit bigger than that though :O:

EDIT: as for naming her. we have always named our (newer) SSBN's after states (other than the one the battleships already took) and our SSN's after big cities. Older ones were named after defining figures in american history if memory serves me right.

Perhaps start a class with the names of mythical figures?
Thor
Mars
Neptune
etc

[Karle94]

Mythical figures is a good idea. I kinda like the names of the norse gods.

then why not make it a real sub class like the Lincoln ?

I have found a name. The sub shall take the name "Hercules."

[Krauter]

Any ETA for this sub? It is beautiful

[Karle94]

The sub is done. All I have to do is upload the sub.

[Krauter]

1st problem.

In port, going to torpedo loading screen and the icons for the torpedos is.. squished

[Karle94]

Squished? I tried this myself and everything is ok on my computer.

[ETR3(SS)]

Sounds like a problem with the US_torpedoes512.dds. The one in 1.5 has more torpedoes so it will show up squished in 1.4

[Krauter]

Yeap I'm running 1,4 so that's probably it. It hasn't changed anything in-game though so it's all good

[Alert 1]

wish it had surface radar!

[Karle94]

Why do you need surface radar when you`re submerged all the time?
