[REL] OhioSSBN mod for Silent Hunter IV

Just tried this along with RSRDC and so far so good, you actually get RSRDC missions so really cool. Just wanted to ask, it would be really nice to get this sub in the campaign starting at pearl. Any plans for that?

Okay I think I've got this 1.4 compatible now. I just have to compile my changes and I'll find a way to submit it to you tomagabriel. Most of the changes look like they'll be the same for Skipjack as well so expect that soon as well.

Hello tomgabriel...terrific sub you put together. I first tried the sub as you suggested, with a clean unmodded version of 1.5 and it worked well. I have also tried it with: TMO 1.7 - real environment - lite fog mods in that order and it seems to perform just as well.

I have a question about the subs periscope depth. When I use it it sits at about 70ft. and seems to bottom out in the shallow areas where normally you can navigate in a WWII sub. I realize it is a bigger sub of course, but I have also used "Le Terrible" which has a periscope depth of 60ft.

I prefer this sub, but need to be able to navigate the shallows, as I use the shallows for sneaking or sometimes to explore the environment where it gets shallow.

My question is: Can I change the periscope depth of this, "Ohio SSBN" to that of the "Le Terrible"...while remaining undetected? I wondered if it was a simple as changing the periscope depth needle.

Thank you for your time and the sub mods you have created, awesome fun and it makes the game interesting again, in some ways.

Go into the NSS_OhioSSBN.cfg file and input the new periscope depth value. Stock it's set to 25 meters or about 82 ft. Actual periscope depth for a Ohio is 78 ft, thats what I changed mine to. If you change it to 60 ft than your sail will be sticking up out of the water, I believe this is seen by enemy lookouts. But try it out for yourself and let us know the results.

ETR3...thanx for the reply. When submerged to 60ft. my sail indeed sticks out of the water a bit, like 5ft or something. So I suppose theres nothing that can be done outside of making the shallows in the game about that much deeper...bummer, for me.

The "Le Terrible" has the perfect periscope depth for my needs. I just wish it had the same fire power & look as this "Ohio SSBN".

Other related subs that I really like but have the same problem with in the shallows is the "Skipjack" and "Red October".

Thank you for your time and help.
