[REL] Playable Russian Subs

[Daldryk]

In two words no one really knows, unless you've tried it... I add that we are in a kind of simulator everything is allowed in mod. The settings suited me.

That's the fun of modding, you can tweak and change whatever you'd like. I don't intend to change any stats in my mod unless someone points me to a credible source, such as Wikipedia or something similar.

Some things in the mod I've had to make educated guesses on (Like the Typhoon VLS conversion), but I try to keep things at least semi-realistic.

Hi!
I really like your mod and I have used every soviet sub!

I just couldn't help noticing that the Yankee class and the two Delta's don't have VLS while SSBN's should be able to launch missiles, right? (just like the Typhoon in-game). Are you planning to give them VLS?

(my english isn't the best, I'm Dutch)

Reliable Russian source online says the Project 705 (Alfa) class sub had a surface speed of 12 knots, submerged 40.2 knots.

Operational diving depth of 320m (1049 feet), max of 400m (1312 feet). Only seven operational, assigned to the Northern Fleet.

Yours, &c.

That sounds about right.
I should learn russian.

No, I wasn't planning to give those VLS, because those subs don't have cruise missile VLS systems. They have SLBM systems, but SLBMs aren't modeled in the game. The Typhoon in the mod that has VLS is a theoretical conversion from ballistic missiles to cruise missiles, but even the regular Typhoon doesn't have VLS.

If the devs ever implement SLBMs into the game, then I'll update those subs.

Hey there I edited the performance of the P500 P700 and Sea Lance to their real speeds if you want the code.

i have the issue when loading the game that tells me that some files are mising like usn mk 45 description missing.can someone help me with that

I wouldn't have a problem with that being in a separate mod, though I definitely wouldn't want that in this one since the 41 kt top speed does seem the be the accepted top speed even by many Russian sources as well as Western ones.

No one to talk about including it in this mod . It takes 1 second to change the value.

Mod updated!

I have added new diesel variants of the Skipjack inside my download of the "Playable Russian Subs Mod". Let me know if you want to add them to your mod.

1. The Barbel class, a diesel clone of the skipjack.
2. The (early) Barbel class, a diesel clone of the early skipjack, but with bowplanes rather than sailplanes.
3. The Yushio class, a Japanese development of the Barbel with side launch tubes, better sonar, lower test depth, and harpoon missiles. (My favorite).

All boats are slow and quiet.

The Barbel/Skipjack has other derivatives which could be added, like the Zwaardvis-class of the Netherlands and the Taiwanese Chien Lung-class.

I also reduced the acceleration slightly on these boats and increased the turn rate of the Barbels due to their reduced length.

Known bugs: The damage control tab doesn't display properly. Probably an easy fix if you know what you are doing. Fixed.

I sent the GUPPY IIA to CaptainX3 last night, along with a mission limiting them to subs they would have likely faced. I'll keep tweaking it a bit, and I'm gathering info on the Skate/Tang classes now as well!
