Thanks for the info Karle but I meant your Tico

Do you have any mods that will change the torpedoes?

Speed: 32.5 knots
Range:11000 kilometers at 32,5 knots
Weapons: 122 Harpoon anti-ship missiles.

Basicly the same as the specs as above.
The Tico is not a nuclear-powered ship. The Virginia class was the last nuclear-powered surface combatant (noncarrier.)

OK Thanks Karle So your Harpoons are basically used the same way they're used on the Ohio and L.A (i) ?

The unguided missiles are big problems, and I 've got no solution so far.

That`s correct.

I have noticed a few little problems when testing it out on quick missions.
(stock 1.5 with just the Ticonderoga mod, enabled via JSGME)

One problem is on missions where a sub starts submerged, the Ticonderoga starts submerged, with no ability to surface/float like it should.

The CIWS don't have any targeting reticule for me.
The Port CIWS aims to high, no way to shoot anything on the water unless it would be really tall. (such as the top of a stack of a very close carrier or battleship?)
It would be nice if both could aim down a bit more.

One thing I found about the CIWS while looking online.
It holds 1,550 rounds per magazine, and that it takes 'less than 5 minutes' to reload a fresh magazine.

Is there any change to the 20mm AP ammo?
Wouldn't a 20mm tungsten armor piercing discarding sabot round pack a lot more punch/penetration than a WWII 20mm AP round?
http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_2cm-70_mk234.htm
WWII 20mm, .0.27lb @ 2,770fps

http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_Phalanx.htm
CIWS, 0.22lb @ 3,650fps, with the actual tungsten projectile being 12.75mm diameter.
Also noticed, original CIWS has -10/+80 degrees elevation, up to -25/+85 for the latest versions.
Could those elevation ranges be put into this mod, to give both CIWS the same elevation ranges?

What's with the many Harpoon missiles?
The data I see online (and listed above) says they only carry 8 of them (the two pairs of quad launchers at the rear?), with the 122 VLS tubes able to include stuff like Tomahawks, but not Harpoons.

Why not toss in 2 tubes?
One tied to the 'fore' torpedo stock (122 missiles representing the VLS missiles), and the second tube (also pointing fore) tied to the 'aft' torpedo stock (representing the 8 harpoons)
Seems like the Tomahawk would be superior in a few ways for blowing stuff up (roughly equal speed, better range, warhead twice as large)

Overall, it is a fairly interesting mod.
Now if I can only figure out how to shoot the missiles right when I am used to automatic targeting...

well....i have been here over 8 months but no help arrived...oh well guess i have to download about 25 3d programs to try to create my loved fuso afterall dont worry i am not bothering you guys anymore......

If you want to try out a great modern cruiser, you might want to get jhapprich's Kirov. I've been playing it for about a week now, and its a real beauty. You can't play it in career, but you can use it in quick scenarios and patrol missions. It also seems to fight quite well, I also have jhapprich's Sovremeny DDG, but its isn't quite as complete as the Kirov, still its a nice addition. Karl94's Arleigh Burke and Ticonderoga are career playable and I've been using those as well. I'm looking forward to Karl94's Midway CG as this seems like a really sweet ship as well. I would like to show some screenshots but I don't know how to post them here.
