I'm big fan of this mod, I especially like the soviet campaigns and the ability to command USSR surface vessels.

One issue however. The soviet Sverdlov-class Cruiser has only the main armament and the AK-630's functional, will we be seeing the several 100 mm/70 SM-5-1 turret secondaries activated in the near future? they're already modeled on the ship.

Hi, I am new to Dotmod. Just a few thanks and comments on the mod. First of all, this mod is great. Beautiful models and more in-depth playing. Some of the nuances really push the original arcade game way beyond. Just a few comments:

1. Shipborne helos for burke and Tico are great. But since there is no way to use their own sensors such as sonar buoy and dipping sonar, they are merely long range torpedo carriers. In real life, helos for these big ships are the primary ASW go-to tool. Not sure how hard to add a button/function right next to waypoint for helo to dip sonar. And once helo deploys its sonar, the detection and TMA get update with better picture.

2. Some of the ship gun ranges seem to be off. Tico and Burke's gun has a max range of 25.5kyd. But some of the Chinese old destroyers and FFG from 70s have more than 30kyd, that almost 20% extra range.

3. Now we have all these advanced ships and subs. It would be great to have a more modern campaign where a player can get to use these platforms such as VA class sub and Yassen class

4. Not sure if anyone noticed, MK50 and MK46 torpedoes cannot operate at extreme deep depth. They explode around below 1400ft.

Is it possible to edit the sound files when you're on the ships and not the submarines?
When you're on the ships you here commands that would only come from a sub.
Sounds weird on the ships.

Here I leave you my humble attempt to solve that annoying "little problem". Enjoy. Greetings!.Marcelo.

Any chance of a projected update for your next release? I am really digging this mod, while awaiting the release of Sea Power in particular.

I second that. I was hoping for a Christmas update like in 2021....

The devs plan to add dipping sonars and sonar buoys to helos in a later update. They are also working on adding more modern ships and subs and I believe a new 21st ccentury campaign. As far as torpedoes the MK 46 have a test depth of around 1200-1300 feet, the MK 50 has a depth around 3000 feet. In my game the MK 50 definitely do not explode at 1400 feet. For the ranges on various guns these can be easily edited the game folder .

Is there some reason in DOTMOD that I cannot select a 688(I) during the 1984 time frames, or am I just doing something wrong?

The 688i did not enter service until 1988.

Hello, folks!

We're glad to announce that DotMod v0.5 is now officially named, and we're glad to have been working on it for a while now! v0.5 is not going to be a massive, completely gamechanging release like previous releases, but we do intend on making it a polish and cleanup update. However, we still hope to have some new toys for you! We also hope to have more on the DotMod Modern side project, coming soon!"

Okay. Finally it’s time. I leave the link for the download of the "Early Freeze" mod. I hope you like it. Greetings!. Marcelo . LINK:https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/dow...o=file&id=6312

Here is a smaller mod that was recently added for CW. It adds the Guppy 1A some new sonars and very early torpedoes that predate the ones used in the 1968 campaign.

This has been very quiet for a long time. Hope the team is ok and this will become reality sooner than later.
