Typhoons weren't made for the open ocean, but to sit under the arctic ice. Don't have to worry too much about aircraft up there.:yep:

Ok, it took roughly 30min to get to periscope depth.

Could somebody please instruct me as to how I can change displacement or whatever, so that i can dive faster?

Thanx for your time.

Go into the units .sim file and you want the unit_submarine node and sub-node. In the Property Tree of the unit_submarine sub-node go down to Ballast and adjust the flood rate to your liking.

Thanx for the reply, is there any way to do it without using the 3d editor?

No.

Only problem with these large modern boats is we can't take them in shallow waters, their conning tower sticks out of the water at persicop depth. lol. The Ohio class is the same. I would love to take them into Tokyo bay and cause havoc. Only modern sub I can do it with or have tried is the Kilo, still fun anyways using these boats just remeber to avoid shallow waters.

Aren't these subs made to not surface for months?

That`s correct. If you play with high realism that won`t really be possible.

co2 levels?

Yes, Co2 and compressed air has a limited supply and has to be replenished on the surface. This is something nuclear powered submarines don`t have to do since the reactor produces air.

Let me go into more detail so there is no confusion about how a modern sub works. A nuclear reactor does not produce air. CO2, CO, H2, and O2 are all keep in balance by 3 different atmosphere control machines. A scrubber removes the CO2 from the air by using a chemical called monoethanolamine. A burner removes CO and H2 from the atmosphere and spits out CO2 and H2O. Oxygen is produced by an Electrolytic Oxygen Generator which breaks the bond between H2 and O in H2O to produce H2 and O2. The O2 either goes directly to the atmosphere or is stored in a series of flasks for later use.

Compressed air is one thing that that we still need to bring air from the outside inside in order to have any air to compress. Prior to submerging the boat you would be running your air compressors to get as much air as possible into the air banks. Once we submerge if we need to put more air into the banks we could run the compressors until the pressure in the boat dropped to a certain point. To get the pressure back up you use the snorkel while at PD to draw more air into the boat. Since it is possible to put a positive pressure in the boat, you would do just that to limit your time near the surface.

As far as the game is concerned, whenever I play one of the modern boats the first thing I do is shut off limited O2, everything else can be left on.

it bothers me how this mod has no Vertical Lauch Tubes... :down:
is this possible with the Red October's current state?
we can even ask Jhapprich for his model of a Russian ICBM :D
i also know that Jhapprich has succeeded in making VLS Tubes on his russian boats for his Cold Warriors: Steel Sharks mod.

so is it possible to implement it in this mod?
thanks, Yamato_NF

You`re gonna have to ask Jhaprich to implement the VLS tubes as they are torpedo doors with animations. I don`t know how to do animations.

if Jhaprich does do the mod for us please let me know where to find the link. and if anyone can tell me how to change the number of stored torpedoes for the red october to a higher number that would be great... i cant seem to use the red october in career mode. any ideas?

Hi,

dam that is a lot of boat, love it, thanx

sid

True, she is a lot of boat, even bigger than the regular Typhoon. Glad you like it.

The [WIP] tag means this sub is going to be even more upgraded?
(I m just a damn newbee)

Yes, I am making a new version that will have a new sail and dives better.

Can't wait! :up: for the good work Karle. Load some homing torps (for the lazy folks out here :DL)

karle, i asked Jhapprich again since hes done with the Juliett and CWSS Beta test is out if he can spend some time on a VLS system for this boat.

dunno if he will do it..
but if he does.... :rock: THIS THING WILL BE THE ONLY MOD I NEED! :yep:

P.S. sorry if im necroing, id just like to see this boat in its full glory!
