it looks cool... not sure about those foamwaves near the tower... perhaps (0 instead of above values) would look better (but if in backwards move those foamwaves don't do a V moving forward then might pass

tower/fw planes reflection

How about moving backward and turns pics? Cheers

Cool sub!
Hope this mod will also be compatible with 1.4

Amazing work!! Would be lovely if a more or less real Command Room could be done with fidelity for these vessels.
With some more units like Sturgeon and Russian ones a good Cold War environment can be recreated.

Cool, very nice vid and a VERY nice sub . Will you hopefully merge this with the Ohio SSBN sub?

In a related note, I've been working on this in my spare time. It's not quite finished yet, but its getting there....

Sure the price tag looks appealing, but a nuke boat pays for itself and can only be rendered useless when technology improves. Sounds to me like the current administration is trying to go green by cutting the nuclear navy out and is restricting the military's budget.

Actually, a diesel sub is quieter than a nuke one. Reason being is the Reactor Coolant Pumps and the Main Seawater Pumps which are always running. On my boat we could shut the RCP's off and switch to "natural circulation" but we still had to turn steam back into water, so the MSW pumps stayed on. And as for going "green", last I heard we were looking at making the next CG and DDG's nuclear to save on fuel costs. Gas Turbines can burn a lot of fuel. Not to mention oil has to run out sometime and having oil powered ships sitting at dock isn't good.

Its not just about national security... the F-22 program is in danger of being cancelled because "$140 million per Raptor is too costly." I say that is the price to be paid for the world's best fighter aircraft. If the program was cut, 95,000 jobs would be lost!

As for the F-22, $140 million per aircraft is an outrageous price compared to other aircraft in service, hence they're not continuing the F-22. The F-35 is much cheaper, can still do the job, and isn't overkill. Projects get killed either because they cost too much, or they don't perform to standards. Just part of the military.

anyways @tomagabriel your project looks good cant wait for release. And what's this reference to Ohio I keep reading?

[Sledgehammer427]

the ohio SSBN mod, i cant remember if it was tomagabriel that released it, but its another nuke sub mod for SH4.

watched the vid, and it all looks great, keep up the good work!
