[REL] OhioSSBN mod for Silent Hunter IV

STEED · 07-12-12, 10:24 AM

I ran some tests and the results were odd. I created very basic one mission against a flat top and battleship...the flat top came first in to view so I fired off two missiles against this slow moving target doing 5 knots and yes they hit. In the campaign against a merchant doing the same speed and they miss & flew over the target.

I'm going to try a full load of missiles against the first merchant convoy I come across and let you know of the outcome.

BTW: Thanks for getting back.

there is a 1.4 version of this mod in the downloads section, download that and copy flotillas.upc and careestart.upc in the campaign folder and replace it with your current mod.

This will fix the repeating mission.

I like tomagabriel's missiles alltough they go in a straight line it's fun to align your boat to make the hit.

I also changed it speed, it go's even faster and when the missile hits the other ships better stay away because it can take several more when they are in the area.

made a dang nuclear warhead :p

Some results against single targets..

Range: 2000
Target: Large Modern Tanker
Periscope Depth
Fired one missile head on, hit

Surfaced

Range 1900, target now side on, fired two missiles both hit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Range: 5300
Target: Medium Old Tanker
Periscope Depth
Fired one missile head on, hit then fired two more missiles both missed flew over the ship
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Range: 4900
Target: Convoy, multi targets
Periscope Depth
Fired four missiles at four targets all missed, one flew over the bow of the ship, two others mid section and the fourth also mid section of target ship and flew over another ship mid section
-------------------------------------------------------------------

I still think a slightly lower height on the missiles would result in better hit rate. I removed all mods apart from the U-Boat add on to test this.

Great fun without question.

Thank you for an answer. Can you tell me the file path to get to those two files?

Does anyone know any mods that are playable with this mod?

@ STEED, thank man for the help. I will have to make it realistic I suppose and do a 3 month patrol like the do in real life.

EDIT: It says the files are not available for download.

I got the game set on easy as I'm only playing for fun with this mod. I have been trying the auto lock and manually with the missiles, these findings are early as I'm giving this a good test.

So far..

Auto targeting
1 in 6 hit home

Manual targeting
1 in 4 hit home

Still testing..

STEED · 07-13-12, 04:55 PM

I now concluded that manual targeting the missiles by firing in front of your target ship is the best chance of a hit. I got it down to 1 in 3 hit, not bad.

STEED · 07-15-12, 12:18 PM

Some screen shots of this great fun mod.

BTW: Thanks to the other skipper for that big rock in the background, name slips my memory.

A Hidden Soul · 07-15-12, 04:49 PM

Great pictures! I'm just about to go onto a patrol myself. Time to take out the USS Ohio (SSBN 726) Blue crew.

Anyone know which mods are compatible with this mod?

EDIT: Created a video with this nice submarine!

I dont have the u boat missions currently installed and i appear to have misplaced, read lost. the disc, the download link for 1.4 doesnt work does anybody have a way for me to get my grubby little sea urchin mitts on this beast?

yubba · 10-22-12, 02:30 PM

Might do you one better for 1.4 get the Los Angeles then put the Le Terrible over that if you really want to get crazy get the interior from the Interceptor sub installed to Le Terrible,, then you got a attack sub with a modern control room a periscope with 1.5x 6x 12x 24x ,, reason for Le Terrible, it had better missle load out..

snyperAL · 10-22-12, 04:14 PM

I like the sound of this very much. I will have a look for those downloads on my next visit. Thank you for your help! o/
