[WIP] Cold War Mod

[tonibamestre]

Well guys,would be nice to take into consideration this mod seriously,working mainly the submarines aspect on a full way.Developing 1 or 2 sub classes from US vs URSS with all its characteristics,3D atmosphere,realistic or close to sensors and weapon systems.Also a reworked SH4 scenery could be desirable in order to update ports and naval bases to the current age (even though some more detailed terrain data is welcome,to give more realism to meshes like fiords,channels,straits,harbours and its elevations).
With this done,more vessels could be developed including now surface ones,frigates,destroyers,cruisers,and carriers with a certain number of their air wing fully able to manage and operate.
This could be an amazing project for next year guys

Regards and Marry Christmas

Hi,

Like promise, and for your christmas week, I release the RedOctober (Typhoon class) on my netsite (http://pagesperso-orange.fr/xavier.petit/):

http://pagesperso-orange.fr/xavier.p...RedOctober.zip

(I use JSGME installer to use it on SH4). I hope you will have fun with it.

It's sure, it need some some update and I will make them. But the actual result is good. And It is compatible with my French sub "Le Terrible".

Have Good times

Thanks a lot Petit,

As a matter of fact, I was playing with your Le Terrible today. Must have sunk 8 or 9 ships (incl. a Kongo). 20+ torpedoes is nice Unfortunately I got rammed by a friendly cruiser returning to port and sank. Sleeping watchmen


EDIT: Petit, I can't seem to get the Typhoon to work in campaign. I copied the Le Terrible campaign files and renamed all "688i" to "627a", what am I missing?

[XPETIT]

OK. I will look at this. And , the RedOctober run with singlemissions? Have you a matter of texture? Because for me it's fine.

[tonibamestre]

Hey good job Petit!! What do you tell me about conventional subs like Dolphin,Agosta,....etc? Perhaps the torpedos could be modified into modern ones.

I'm sure it works it Single Missions its just there are no campaign files included like for Le Terrible.

[Sledgehammer427]

beeeeecause you have to go thru every included file and change "x" name to "y" new name...typos aren't tolerated of course, and hairpulling is frequent

[Rene]

to play the redoctober in campaign you can transfer the campaign files from the november class to redoctober. it works. i did it and i play now the redoctober in campaign

Many thanks for the Typhoon, I love this sub

Just a small observation... that "thing" on top of its rear belongs to other small sub (Akula) and not to a Typhoon... (I think!)

its the Red October, watch the movie, it has the towed array pod on the upper rudder

[tomagabriel]

Progress on the Ohio.





I decided to integrate the Ohio as an SSGN. Missiles can not be fired anyway (am I right?) so it will only affect the registration number on the conning tower. Besides, given the Hunter-Killer psychology of people here on Silent Hunter forums, I guess they would feel better behind 150 TLAMs / TASMs than behind 24 SLBMs.

Cheers!

cheers for the tip

damn then I need to see the movie again... something seems wrong on the movie too

[Sledgehammer427]

because, as you are well aware, the Typhoon class doesnt have that pod.
also, the red october is more angular, while the typhoon is rounder, more shapely.

that, and theres a damn scotsman commanding a russian submarine!

[tomagabriel]

I have a question to the more experienced people here: is it possible to change the periscope and torpedo model? I did a quick search for them with S3D but could not find them. I'm thinking maybe I didn't look where I should. Thanks!

yeah... I guess that yanks back in 90's didn't have good sat pictures of the sub to make it as real as possible on the movie that's why is so flat too... of course seen from above (sat) everything is flat

that remind me another movie of some yank hero fighting the way out from Colombia or somewhere for that part of the world... where his plane Douglas Globemaster is shotdown and the scene after the crash shows a Douglas DC-3 or 4 I guess they were short of $ to get the movie right!
