[WIP] The Modern Subs Project

ETR3(SS) · 02-06-10, 10:53 AM

Karle94 and I have teamed up to bring you more playable modern subs. He will be working on the 3D modeling while I work with the game files. So far the list is Akula, Oscar II, Victor III, Virginia, Seawolf, and Nautilus. More details as they become available.

That is awesome, but I do have one question: is it at all possible to mod a waterfall display? [I know the answer will likely be somewhere between "probably not" and "no chance in hell", but had to ask] I dislike driving a modern sub around while still having to use WW2 sonar equipment (and a sound guy who can't hear a DD going flank 4,000 yards away).

Believe me I hate it too, but Already guessed the answer. Besides staring at a waterfall display has been proven to suck the life out of you through your eye balls.

I already have a Nautilus (SSN-571) and a Triton (SS(R)N-586) Works in progress. I got them into the game but they both aren't textured and they don't have the torpedo tubes cut out. I could send them both your way, since I am a little busy doing the Surface Warfare stuff.

That would be great.

Hey guys,what do you think about modelling modern 3D control rooms for that vessels? I think it would really worth it.

Good job indeed.

keep in mind that I am working on the IJN campaign first and foremost.

I will help with one sub at a time in the free time that is available to me outside of the IJN mod.

Thanks for the offer Keltos, we'll keep that in mind.

Sledgehammer427 · 02-06-10, 05:25 PM

I'll help where I can too, just let me know.

tonibamestre · 02-07-10, 06:17 AM

My question is,do you think will be possible on a realistical way to launch torps sub vs sub and harpoon missiles or tomahawk for land attack?
If there was a way to find out this,imagine the great expectations for a future modern surface mod.

Karle94 · 02-07-10, 07:10 AM

Got the Virginia in to the game

Well in the ohio mod you can launch missiles and they work, they go in a direction and don't change course this is difficult for moving targets but for land based targets it should work.

Only someone has to mod it so that it appears as a contact.

Nice idea

@Karle94

Could you post a few more screenshots please please please?

How modern are we talking here? 1950s? 1960s? 2000s?

It would be fun to play a Cold War-era subsim where the gameplay would be that period between WWII and the Modern Era.

We can have all the Cold War equipment but we are still constrained to WWII due to hard coded issues.

And after playing months with the ohio i must say even though it's much faster, can go deeper and has better torpedo's it can't defend itself on the surface so it's a bit balanced

The Ohio has TASM rockets onboard which can be launched, maybe you should contact the one who modded the ohio? (to lighten your work that is).

One question is the virginia campaign ready?
