I hear that the summers in Fort Levingworth are nice. If you are on good behaviour they let you to bag groceries for tips at the base PX.

Unhappiness from the DoD would be LEAST of our worries.

Hello,

Yes the max deep of SW is allright :P
I didn't saw that for USA subs the deeps is in feet and not meters :oops: I always command akula sub :cool: and are tune to meters unit!

Thanks very much!

With best regards

Well, I got delayed in finishing up the last database and doctrine changes yesterday so I finished them up this morning... so LWAMI 3.00 is done. :up:

I now have to rewrite a 16 page readme... which is no fun task... and then make my mind up about some last minute things and I will post the new version of LWAMI 3.00 hopefully by the afternoon in Europe.

The good news is that if SCS is able to get a patch out, LWAMI 3.00 should work for that version as well, so no new work. The bad news is that we were unable to fix the torpedo problem with doctrine, there is some kind of problem in the engine itself that needs to be corrected.

Some more good news is that I think the AI will be a bit more challenging and quicker on the draw as far as enemy submarines go, reading that AAR from TLAM in the RSR campaign when he sank six red submarines made me think that he wasn't being challenged enough, so I wanted to help him push himself. :up: :know:

Ok, now to sort through some very dense readme detritus... :88) :stare: :hulk:

Can't you just put the darn thing up and finish your Readme later? Please?

Dont agree with the last poster. :down:

Take your time - better to have it right and up to your usual normal excellence.

Come on KS give him a break - he's already been burning the midnight oil reacting to changes.

Good stuff is worth waiting for. :up:

But then people would complain that I didn't provide enough documentation... :88)

And there are a couple of numbers that might fall this way or that... I need to decide. I wouldn't want to change something later and then feel like I shouldn't because some may have an older version of the database.

It will be out soon... sorry for the delay. :)

I really hoped to be able to fix the torpedoes by now... :cry:

If I had a bumper sticker on my ass right now, it'd be "I'd rather be doing anything than writing a readme." :dead: :damn:

Seriously, I'm glad to do it, but after not sleeping two days and leaving my contacts in too long, I feel like I need to take an icepick to my eyes... :|\

Ok, in case I accidently splash a bottle of bleach in my face or otherwise decide to take a nap before this readme is done, so I don't feel like I'm leaving you guys hanging, you can download LWAMI 3.00 PREVIEW at the CADC now!

http://www.orionwarrior.com/forum/sh...3760#post13760

In case I do decide to change something, be sure to download and install the official distribution when I release it. ;) :)

Enjoy! :) :up: :rock:

Cheers,
David

PS Please DO NOT post this file to any other sites, as it IS NOT the official LWAMI 3.00 distribution. Thank you!

Don't worry Bellman, the quality of the product is undiminished. :know:

I alloted just enough time to finish everything I planned for the mod itself and then finish the readme... the time I was going to spend on the readme went to tracking down the new bugs... so the work on the mod itself has been unharmed. :-j

No, I'm not nearly this well organized... :oops: :roll: :lol:

I can dream though... :hmm:

:D Wow - I'm impressed with your work rate LW. :o :yep:

Get some sleep soon. Thanks for all your beavouring - it is appreciated. :|\ :up: :rock:

Im off to download it now - magic man. :sunny: :sunny: :sunny:

Dear LuftWolf,

Thanks very much about your dedication and excelent work to our community!

Why cant the perry class and others capsize when ever they get hit the just go down by the bow or stern not roll over :(

:rotfl: I know that DW is a simulation, but the fact remains that subs are by far the most secret weapons platforms in the world. Therefor no estimate can be considerd 100% accurate. So it kills me when i see someone challenging the stats used in the game. I know that in the past year there has been a few justifiable challengs about time to change depth or time to deploy and retrive TA. But alot of that came from real life bubble heads who had first hand knowlege. I am sure that most of the crew on a sub never knows how deep they are or how fast they are traveling. And most of all, How good there sensors are. And the ones that really do know are from a rank that would only have been achived because of dedication to service and would not reveal that information just to impress us here. So with that said ill say that I belive the SW probley performs better in RL than the way its modeled in the game. Same goes for the 688. I also belive the Harpoon and TASM are more effective in RL than they are in the game. At the same time I myself dont belive the SS-N-27ASM is as effective in RL as it is in the game. But thats just how i feel. Doesnt mean I am rite. I dont belive the Akula 2 is quiter than a 688 But again thats just MHO. And for sure I cant belive that a noise maker can kill a Torp. But no one really knows the truth to any of this because first off there is no combat data to research. Second this is al closely guarded secrets. Once a friend told me wile he was in the Navy his ship was part of a carrier screening force. He said one day the carrier just took off at high speed. He said the bow of the carrier was almost lifting out of the water and that there was a roosta tail at the stern that was almost as high as the flight deck. Now I never read anything that would suggest a carrier could go that fast. But, Does that mean he was lieing?

Some points of clarifications.
 

SKeeM;
Sir in no way is this meant to be argumentative. I am a real life bubblehead starting on subs in 1962 until I retired in 1981, been there done that.
Your friend and the Carrier almost doing a "Wheelie", uh did he start it with "This is no sh.." that is how all sea stories start.
I agree with you that I have long questioned the super capabilities of the Akula and it superior sonar. The Akula is quiet but it was never as quiet as the 688 and certainly not the Seawolf class. Until the Japanese company sold the machine that was used to build the screws to the Russians their boats were noisey. Dam I can't remember the company's name right now, I know they ended up taking out many adds in our newspapers "apologizing for the "misunderstanding", it was our own dam fault for giving it to them, Toshiba, I think was the companies name
Decoys are tested so they can decoy torpedoes, but they are far from perfect. The US Navy had subroc, and TSAM, we did away with them they were not that good, now the Harpoon is a good weapon. The Trident UGM-133A is outstanding, probably the best in the world. The TLAM-E well believe me it is going to ruin the other guy's day. The new MK -48 mod 6, well it is an improvement over the Mod 5. It is faster, more accurate, and quieter. The Sonar BQR-15 towed array is on the 688s and Ohio's now. The boats are being fitted with the new TB-29 A and the Navy expects it of improve detection 400-500 percent with it, against quiet subs in a littoral environment.
Crew knowledge, there are no secrets on a sub. There were time that our charts were kept covered because of the nature and location of the spec ops. We often had "riders" all named smith and Jones etc and we were forbidden to ask them about family, weather where they came from etc.
A good Captain will tell his crew as much as they can, a long patrol gets on everyone nerves, so the Skippers I served under kept us informed. In the old days you signed a statement never to reveal anything you did. It was an official document, there must be 1000s of them on file somewhere, I cannot even remember how many I signed. Imagine our surprise when "Blind Man's Bluff" was printed or the stuff Clancy put in SSN and Submarine.
Some of your questions are on the mark, but we knew a lot more than we were suppose to talk about.
But as far as the Akula's superiority over US boats, well you would have to ask the people who put these sims together.
I know we have good sonar and dam good boats and I tracked a lot of Russian Subs during the Cold War. I mean I was on boats the did, and we knew were dong it and why. The missions where there are missile shots, naval maneuvers, well those thing really did happen. Ivy Bells was a real operation that probably provided us with more knowledge about the Russian Navy than any other intelligent operation.
How good are US Boats, look at the safety record-2 lost since 1954-we built and crewed dam good boats.

Hey LuftWolf? First thank you for all you do for the community. I am sure that it's appreciated by other's also.

As far as I am concerned you can take your time and do it right the first time. Get some sleep and you will be able to work more comfortably.

The game will still be here when you wake up and are rested.

Thank you again. I read the manuals and the readme.txt's.
