The Nuclear option

[rein1705]

Hi guys. Does anyone remember the Skipjack and the Russian Nuke sub mods? I've been trying to find the DeltaIII and a version of Skipjack that works for TMO. Can anyone help? i also thought there was an American Boomer.... Not Ohio class.
Skipjack for 1.5 loads into tmo but it crashes every time i come in contact with another ship.
For some reason i really want to play a nuke attack sub of the 50's-80's

Well - I would go straight to "Dangerous Waters" and leave the SH children group.
Where is the problem... ?!?

I am unfamiliar with Dangerous waters. My problem is with the Skipjack and on the Foxtrot class subs the game crashes whenever an enemy comes within sonar range of me. I have no problems however, with the SSBN Ohio class mod. I am running TMO 2.5. TMO may be the reason but why does the Ohio work fine and not the Skipjack since they were made around the same time and both are for SH4 1.5

Looks like i was just being picky but the Skipjack, the boat i wanted most works just fine on stock sh4 1.5 without other mods. (i had to disable many)
Still, if anyone knows of any other Nuclear or post war subs, I'd love to know what they are and where to get them. I've been playing TMO for years on the regular boats and now i just want to have some fun with it.

TMO uses different "definitions" for some of the ships, and adds some more to the roster, when compared with stock. The SH games demand precision in that regard, so if you're encountering a DD in Stock, it's Type # would probably be 4. In TMO, it might be 3. That there alone will CTD a game when you come in "contact" with them, with either a "Radar contact!" or "Sonar Contact!" or "Ship spotted!" report... The ReadMe file of most mods tell what they are compatible with. If not, de-activate TMO for a minute and activate the Skipjack, and see what happens...

Get Dangerous Waters and try to play it.
You will soon realize that this is a completely different "house number" ... a simulation (from a simulation) ... inquire about the manufacturer or operator.

The representation as well as implementation in "Silent Hunter" is not possible in the approach.

I'm working on an upgraded Skipjack mod that MAY work with TMO. I have others planned as well, Permit and Sturgeon. There is a George Washington and LaFayette Class SSBN mod but I'm not sure off hand who made it. May have been JHapprich.

OOh that sounds great! I wonder where the George Washington class mod is.
