Orion665

Recommended Posts

Well i like submarines and the bigger the better but i dont like the same submarine from point lookout in EVERY submarine mod because the sub from point lookout is small and wimpy THERE ARE NOT EVEN TORPEDO TUBES! and i just got the idea of if it would be possible to make a Typhoon Class or "Akula" Class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine (Like the one from "The Hunt for Red October") . So if you are interested and will make this mod for me and/or help me with it please PM me. Thanks! (AND ALSO IF YOU MAKE IT NAME IT "Russian submarine TK-208 Dmitri Donskoi")

 

(Here are some pics of the sub just zoom in until you see them they are not too hard to miss though lol :))

(Here is a description of the sub from Wikipedia)

 

The project 941 or Akula, Russian "Акула" ("Shark") class submarine (NATO reporting name: Typhoon) is a type of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine deployed by the Soviet Navy in the 1980s. With a maximum displacement of 33,800 tons, the Typhoons are the largest class of submarine ever built, large enough to accommodate decent living facilities for the crew, when the submarine remained submerged for months on end. The source of the NATO reporting name remains unclear, although it is often claimed to be related to the use of the word "Typhoon" ("Тайфун") by Leonid Brezhnev in a 1974 speech while describing a new type of nuclear ballistic missile submarine. Soviet doctrine for these vessels was to have them launch SLBMs while submerged under the arctic ice, avoiding the traversal of the GIUK gap to remain safe from the enemy attack submarines and anti-submarine forces. Technically Typhoons were also able to successfully deploy their long-range nuclear missiles while moored at their docks.

Can anybody help me with this mod? Im not a good modder i can barely build stuff in GECK so i need a lot of help. Mainly i just need a exterior of the sub in the pictures. Would be nice if it was in scale but if this helps from measuring in-game and outside the game if concluded that its about as long as the unbroken part of rivet city (the side pinkerton dosent live on)Or as they sat in The movie hunt for Red October its about as long as a WWII aircraft carrier which is a little shorter than Rivet city. Also might need a bit of help with the interior but not much.
