[WIP] Skipjack SSN

SSN-585 Skipjack for Silent Hunter IV
(beta 0.1)
=====================================

contact:
pm me at www.subsim.com forums

This is the SSN-585 Skipjack for silent Hunter IV. It was designed and tested on an un-modified version of Silent Hunter IV v. 1.5 (with U-Boat missions). My advice is to remove all mods and test it on a clean installation of SHIV (it should work with other mods installed, but since I can not test all the combinations of mods presently available on the web, I take no responsibility if it crashes you SH4 installation).

Installation
============
Install it with JSGME as you would do with any other sub presently available. {For those of you not having the U-Boot Missions add-on, I am including a tweak in the "Notes" section below. Be sure to READ it and APPLY it!!!}

Uninstall
======
Use the remove mod feature from JSGME.

Changelog
========

-=(v. beta 0.1)=-

<no changelog for first version>

Notes on v. beta 0.1:

-you can play campaigns with this sub.
- weapons are free, but start your career with some money, otherwise you can not re-equip with new weapons after removing some (bug!?);
- the sub is equipped by default with (2xMk-48 + 4xMk-16) in the launch tubes + full complement of 24 Mk-48 in the magazine;
- to extend the radar mast press "Shift" + "X"; press again to retract it; use it at periscope depth before surfacing
-diving depth of the sub up to 450 m - max;
-torpedo launch depth up to 450 m - max;
-max speed 17 knots (surfaced), 30 knots (submerged);
-to make this sub work with SH4 v. 1.4 or earlier you have to tweak the Mk-48 torpedo to no longer use the logic of German torpedos;you have to tell the simulator to use the Mk-27 torpedo logic instead of Type XI logic; then you have to set the default loadout to load the modified Mk-27 torpedos instead of the modified Type XI. That is all. You do this like this(read below):
