Titan Superfortress

[Silverwolf]

So this is probably going to be a either a hit or miss for some people but I thought I'd try it anyway. I call it the Titan Superfortress, it's pretty much a submersible battleship. It has everything a battleship needs as well as a submarine. I made this ship for fun as a single mission ship and have no intent on it being usable in career because it would probably make it too easy.

The ship itself is pretty much done just need to do tweaking with the cannons, torpedo loads, and a few other things. In case anyone is wondering the modeling portion of this ship was done around the same time I had modeled the BlackWolf.

So here's a vid of it showing most of the guns working and it submerging.


Also some pictures of the interior. If anyone wants to suggest adding something to the interior go ahead because to me it feels a little empty.

Download it here:
The files size should be more managable because I compressed it this time.
Also for those with the Black Wolf you can use the Titan along with it because they both have the same Upgradepacks.upc file.

For those running RFB or TMO, here are the files you'll need to make this sub run correctly.

Crazy SilverWolf strikes again! =D

[Silverwolf]

Yup and I have one more I'm about to post up. This one however was only started a week ago so it's not finished.

OMG, that would have been a mean sub to deal with. Could you imagine an escorts reaction to seeing...that... surfacing after a torpedo attack. Kiss the convoys good bye.

[Silverwolf]

Or even the other way around, having the escorts think they sunk the ship. (If they could ) Everyone on the surface is celebrating then... BOOM! torpedo impact.

I love the buttons and colour scheme on your UI... how did you get those?

[Armistead]

Nice...loved the bowplanes folding in. Be nice to have this fight Kurita's center force in Leyte...see how it would do againt the big Y and M and 20 other ships.

How many torp tubes does it have?

The hud is a combination of the hud from the Fall of the Rising Sun mod and the original hud with some tweaking in photoshop.

Thanks, I thought it would be a pretty neat feature to add.
I do have a custom mission that puts this ship up against some of the Super battleships in the game and will put up a vid of it once I have all the kinks worked out. It has the standard 10 that the Balao class has. Six in the front and four in the back, but it will have many more torpedoes stored away in its hull. Still not sure how many I'll put in but it'll be alot. I didn't really feel it needed more than ten tubes

It's a really good idea, a submersible BB

[Task Force]

Holy mama... thats a hell of a ship. Now I come with my generic task force response...

I WANT IT!!!!

So I can be a bb and a sub at the same time...

anyone wana make it a carear ship... I dont care if its easyer than a arcade game on easy...

Yes it is, and something of a total surprise to the enemy. I did at one time think of making part of it into an aircraft carrier but that would have been way too much in my opinion.

You'll get it when the time comes. It's in its final stages of testing.

-----------------------------------------
Now for an update. I have tweaked the handling so it actually feels like a battleship while maneuvering. The downside to that though is it will take a little longer to surface than before even with the hyped up ballast flood speeds. Also when submerging the ship must be going at least 10 knots.
But without further ado I present a new torpedo layout. I think 10 storage in the rear and 20 in the front is good.

I cant wait for this, and I second task force on making this for career, insanly over powered or not, I would love to use this against some Japanese BB's.

[tomoose]

And the "Dreadnought" subsim arms race is on!

Next up;
the YamaIowaDreadPT Superbattleship which launches it's own counter-submarine-submarine. The entire hull is surrounded by a subnet. Top speed is 2 knots and it rolls 360 when firing it's broadside.

Not to be outdone the Air Force will come up with a PBY with turrets and droppable single-man suicide mini-subs.

[Highbury]

This looks really cool man, thanks for your effort. It is awesome that you will also have your own interiors. Just amazing!

I'll put in a 3rd vote for a career playable version BTW (and be even more selfish and say that if it works with FOTRS with no tweaking.. even better!!)

[Sledgehammer427]

I believe all these ships are just asking for some kinda...supermod that puts them all together into the campaign
