Interceptor Sub

Silverwolf · 04-11-10, 05:07 PM

Ok with the Kraken finally done and released it's time to start work on a new project. I call her the Interceptor, as you will notice she is a more modern looking sub. The sub that influenced this one was a Seawolf class sub, however as you can see it doesn't really resemble a Seawolf sub.

As of now I don't know if I'm going to just keep the turrets how they are or make a system to cover them when the sub submerges. The turrets can't collapse inwards like on the Shark or Kraken so I need to make a new system. I also need to figure out what to do with the props, cause at the moment I don't know what I want to do with those either.

While it has not been built yet I do have plans to make a brand new interior for this sub.

BetaV0.3 has been released, download it here:

------------------------------
Some fixes for this new version of the Interceptor.

-Fixed crew exposure for weapon compartments.
-Reduced the top underwater speed to around 32 knots. This helps reduce the depth keeping issue and keeps it to around six or seven feet.
-Fixed a problem with the air vents going off in calm seas while using regular surface.

Additions
-New conning tower interior
-Hogans ally added for TMO
-Adjusted values for smoothing surfacing and diving.

How to install.

The sub has a new installation method which should help ease confusion for installing the sub with supermods. For right now the sub is only compatible with TMO and Stock. There is a folder called Interceptor_Base, this holds all the crucial files of the sub and needs to be installed first. After that you either pick the stock folder or TMO folder and install it next. Then all that is left is to start up the game.

If you have any other questions just ask. Very soon I'll be working on getting the sub ready for RFB and FOTRS as well as adding the sub to the campaigns and RSRDC.

well, if you are going to do a caterpillar setup, you can put one drive between each of the fins, you can even have a hood scoop looking intake located about midway up the hill, that would be kinda cool looking

I had an interceptor built too, but mine was smaller and a lot thinner, it has some kind of Airplane wing looking apparition that houses the propellers and such. really cool looking actually

Silverwolf · 04-11-10, 05:18 PM

That is one of the options I was thinking of. The other was having a caterpillar while submerged and props for surfaced. I know of a way to cover each however placement is crucial because seeing lots of bubbles come out of a solid object is not too pretty lookin.

there's a cool idea, maybe even have both the caterpillars AND props engage when you go ahead flank, that would be neat and fit the interceptor role

Silverwolf · 04-11-10, 05:31 PM

That would be a really neat idea. However I don't know where to look or what to change exactly to make the sub do that. I could use the torpedo doors as an open an close for the props. If I could find away to tie that animation to the ahead flank command then it could possibly work.

I think this deserves a flat deck, so maybe Ohio or Typhoon would be a better choice

Can you converted the sub for SH3+GWX? More just for fun.....

Another update on the interior. I've got the dive controls and started and the Christmas tree. BTW does anyone know what the christmas tree in a nuclear sub looks like? Of course google isn't much help in that department.

I looked through those movies and it is hard to spot it with all that's going on. So I'm pretty much gonna make up my own.

So here's an update on the tree and a look at the helm. Just so you guys know the gauges and dials will be textured differently once I have everything placed.
