[WIP] Cold War Mod

Capt Jack Harkness · 02-07-08, 06:47 AM

The Foxtrot would be great, after all, it was the diesel-electric workhorse of the Soviet fleet until the Kilo was developed. Basically any sub from the '50s to the 80s would be cool, but I'm trying to keep the focus on the earlier subs as they are not so wildly advanced compared to the WWII boats and thus should be a bit easier to implement.

As for the SSBNs, it all depends on whether or not we can implement missiles. Trigger has been doing some work on this (as well as a handful of other projects), but as I've said, any help is appreciated.

Now what possible scenario can this take on? Not historical I suspect but a sort of quasi-fantasy type storyline. Kudos for taking up this project.

Why not? We have the Cuba crisis.By the rest,just give chance to our imagination,patrol US east coast,outside Murmansk base.......and more.
You know what would be nice for that? to have a 24h server engaged in order to play long term missions,leave the base,navigate thousands of miles,comply with the mission and come back home, if able of course.

This study on submarine operations in the Korean War may be of interest

as Capt Jack said i am working with and playing around with several ideas, two which have reached 33% completion in 3D model the rest are still in research and drawings on paper. unfortunaly i am unable to commit as much time to this as i would like to as i am juggling my own command of a SSN as well as working some Cold War mods

Cuba has a lot of plotline potential for something like this...perhaps construct a campaign around a US invasion of Cuba and the Soviet's response?

Actually, I always thought it would be fun to intercept the freighters carrying the nukes and sink them before they hit the blockade we set up...

There are, however, a million different ways to pan out that scenario, let alone the Cold War in the 60's. The only sad thing is that American tech was way beyond the Soviets until about the time the Victor class SSNs and Yankee class SSBNs were commissioned.
