Adding UAVs/UUV

RyanR · 11-20-15, 11:26 AM

Thanks for your advice. I did figure out how to make the modifications. I actually used the LWAMI UUV Doctrine in RA (Successfully) and had the thing going 10 kn for a range of 45 nm. It made for a fun mission of blasting a Kilo in the Persian Gulf with a SubRoc while I sat on the other side of the AUE. Although I use the word "over" loosely, I basically had the torpedo fly over Dubai for the kill

I was thinking about copying the TLAM and turning it into something like this:

My thoughts were to adjust the speed, replace the warhead with sensors, and send updates via link. Not that I know how to do that at the present time. Not exactly correct but as it would essentially be a TLAM, prior to launch I could set way points and thus direct it to the general location. Maybe adjust the model and sound profile of it leaving the tubes as well.

From quick research I've found that a UUV capable of 4-5 kn, with the ability to run for 24 hours, and advanced detection and classification ability is a real possibility. Thus I'll probably tone the speed of mine down to 5 kn while extending the range to 120 nm (24 hour run time).

Sounds good. Glad I could help

So I'm back at it - I have successfully modified the TASM to act like a drone, except I can only shoot it in one direction (using snapshot). Does anyone have any idea on how to make it navigate by way points?
