Default [REQ] Early Cold War Mod...

Alright, this would be a rather epic undertaking, but who else thinks it would be cool to put together an early Cold War mod (early to mid 50's) with variants of the Guppy class boats, perhaps the Nautilus as well, and hunt sume Russian Foxtrots or vice versa? Ideally it would be the plot of SH5, but since that game is just a rumor so far...

It is, that's incredible! I downloaded it and attempted to install it, but I can't find the damn thing in any of the start dates for career... Can anyone here read the readme?

Oh and this is now the official thread for Cold War related mods by the way...

the reactor didnt blow on the thresher....





Deep sea photography, recovered artifacts, and an evaluation of her design and operational history permitted a Court of Inquiry to conclude Thresher had probably suffered the failure of a weld in a salt water piping system, which relied heavily on silver brazing instead of welding; earlier tests using ultrasound equipment found potential problems with about 14% of the tested brazed joints, most of which were determined not to pose a risk significant enough to require a repair.

my father was lost on thresher and i my self am in command of the uss jacksonville ssn-699 no us submarine has been lost due to any reactor problems.

During Cold War soviet navy research data about sinking Tresher for find why sub sunk and find, that after hit on bottom reactor Thresher explosion and find Bow and stern parts only. All middle section submarine was destroyed and abscent total.

Well of the Russian subs that were lost due to reactor problems, none of them went off like a warhead (I imagine it's because powerplants aren't designed to explode...).

Getting back on subject, though, how many people have tried the November so far and what are your opinions (especially on possible improvements)? And are there any modelers out there who would like to take on some other Cold War subs (prefferably 1950's to 1970's)?
