[REL]Los Angeles Submarine Mod

[runningdeer]

Hello. I haven't been able to get this sub to work. I've tried using JSGME, as with the other 2 subs...the November/Foxtrot, those 2 work fine. Very neat. I want to start a new career using RFB & RSRD using this Los Angeles. It'll be my first time using RFB. It has always been TMO & RSRD, before.

Could you please instruct me on how to get this sub into my game?

I would like to use it in this pack:

RFB_v15x_mmddyy
RSRDC_RFBv15_v395_RC5
RSRDC_V395_Patch 4
RSRDC_AuxGB_Fix
Animated Fans
Pull down map w/routes

Thank you for the subs!...and thanx for your time.

runningdeer (cool name, i prefer stationary ones myself, easier to shoot:p )

its pretty simple, you just pop it in last, and there you go

now, i experienced a problem on my game that might be on yours.

when i tried starting a new campaign, it kept poping up out of game saying its missing a line in the data/submarine/NSS_688i/NSS_688i.upc file
and in the data/upcfiles(i think, it has upc in it i know that/UnitParts/106881.upc

the sub came without a lightmap, so, if it does this, i will create a fix for it, if anyone is having trouble doing it.

I'm in the same boat[but not actually ]I can't get it to show up applying with JSME using stock game or with RFB+RSRD.

Thanx for your reply...well, I applied the mod like you instructed, but the game wont load completely.

I get the error that you mention above.

When I apply 'Los Angeles Mod' folder, the game will load, but no sub. If I apply 'Los Angeles' folder from within then it doesn't load and I get the error.

:hmm:.

Isn't the specualtion interesting?

If the US had had that LA class submarine during WW2, in my opinion it would not have affected the course of the war at all. Why? Because it has 4 forward torpedo tubes and as such, a small firepower when attacking merchant ships (Only could sink four each time, plus reloads) i.e. nothing much different of what the Balaos could do. The Harpoons wouldn't add much here.

Admitting that the Tomahawks could serve well for attacking land objectives, again this is nothing that a good traditional carpet-bombing from Airplanes couldn't achieve already.

Only the nuclear bomb would have changed things (Missiles with nuclear capacity), but not the LA class itself or its conventional weapons.

And then, the complexity in the construction of LA class submarines would have meant that with the same effort, less of them could have been produced (Balaos were constructed from preassembled parts in a row).

Therefore, I consider that for the US in WW2 it was of more use to have had 400 fleet submarines that for example 100 LA class boats. Sure, the LA class wouldn't have suffered losses, but as a theoretical exercise it gives interesting results, doesn't it?

Hitman, i agree.
i am working up a fix as we speak...don't fret!

@Hitman
You are right that one 688 would not make much if any difference in the war as a hole but it would allow for great tactical advantages. The modern mk48 ADCAPs' can severely damage or sink all but the largest warships of the second world war. Also the missiles it can fire (harpoon, tomahawk) can take-out ships and land based targets with pinpoint accuracy and carpet bombing was very unreliable at the time and only occasionally took out the intended target and not the suberb or town next to it.
A 688 sensor capabilities are far greater than anything of the time.
So I agree with you that if it were used for merchant hunting it would be less than effective however if it were to lay of the coast of japan it could wreak havoc on japanese production and command and control. It would not end the war earlier but it might decrease the loss of life all around.
