[REQ] K-19 Submarine

[Sledgehammer427]

I may just take a crack at this. and I dun need pics, I got a model of the thing, plastic. of course.

also, K-19 was a "Hotel" Class submarine, but the picures you have Adio, are of the Juliet class that was modified to rememble a Hotel for the movie K-19 Widowmaker.

heres another thing.
A soviet ballistic missile sub would be awesome, granted, but, since it can't shoot missles, whats it good for? not to sound like a jerk, but of what use would it be other than looking cool?

It's like making a Typhoon class (Red October). It can fire balistic missiles too, but people make it playable for others to say " WOW dude, I'm drivin' the Red October! It's awesome!" Same thing goes for the K-19. ALSO, it can move faster above and underwater since it's a nuclear powered sub say like 20 knots submerged which would be pretty nice.

Or can it? There's probably no way to do it like it functions in real life but there may be a way to get the sub to launch a missile in the same fashion by doing some tweaking with a deck gun. Only thing is it won't hit a ship every single time. But when it does, it's basically a one hit kill.

I'm willing to experiment with the idea since I do have plans to make a sub based off of the K-19. Only it probably won't look anything like the Hotel class sub in the end. But I have to complete the Nautilus and as long as Keltos hasn't started it I was going to do the Surcouf.

If you get around to making that K-19, I'll modify it to be the K-19.
no prob here, still gotta finish the Nautilus textures though.

Public figures for Hotel Class submerged speeds vary from 25 - 28 knots.

I stated this in another thread what about broadside torpedo launching granted the catch is you would probably have to be stationary to launch that way. But it is an option in the lack of missles. Perhaps there can be storage of more torpedo's in the now empty missle bays. Just a thought.
