[WIP] Career playable Red October
 

At Rein1705`s request I dediced to make the Red October playable. I am planning to make her for 1.5 and FOTRS. I made her bigger and changed her engines layout.

This picture will show you what I mean:

NB:Silent Hunter 1.5 only.

A suggestion only... would be nice to have some advanced torpedoes like the ones on the Ohio SSBN mod or the Cruise missiles :up:
She looks Beautiful by the way!

I am going to make the Type 65 Torpedo as a replacement for the Mk 14.

Any chance of a tower emblem or number?

What kind of emblem are we talking about. Also a number on the sail or hull is pointless as the Red October didn`t have any numbers.

OH... guess your right. I don't know that much about markings on Russian subs and Red October was a Modified Typhoon class is pretty much all i know. I have the movie. I thought they made it too deaf and helpless but it was great. As for an emblem i dont kno

That would make a bad ars opening theam!!!!!:rock:

Got the torpedo ready. Here`s a couple of pictures:

Firing the Type 65.

Sank a lone destroyer. The poor ship broke in two after a single shot.

Put one in a Fuso, didn`t sink though. Accidentely ramed it. Forgot to turn away.

Looks like something has to be put in drydock for several months.

Sank the Yamato with two torpedoes.

So much for the pride of the Japanese navy.

First version is out. Check other posts for pictures and #1 for download link.

DL-ing it right now. Thanks Karle.:yeah:
Will try it without FOTRS for a while.
Would probably be neat with the russian crew sound mod.

Any chance on making it for 1.4?

Looks good!:up:

Mike.

lol theres no radar that i could find on this boat. Boy she's big though.

Yeah she is. Around 198 meters long, 26 meters wide and almost 50000 tons. She`s as big as an old battleship in physicle size and almost as heavy as the Bismark.

no chance at a catapillar? :salute:

Hi, thanx for the mod. I thought I would try it out. I disabled my regular mods and only have GFO with Websters clear water mod.

I cannot get it to dive, I tried crash dive & periscope depths but it just stays on the surface. Any ideas what I need to do?

Thank you :salute:

Don`t know anything that matches a caterpillar drive.

Use time comnpression. She takes time to go under.

Or you can change the submerged displacement, i changed it and the red october dives in about 40 seconds.

yeah for a sub that big, i think they'd have many portholes for flooding tanks to get her sinking quick. that big shes a massive target for aircraft just at periscope depth.
