constructing a submarine

[Nick Nape'em]

ok so im trying to construct a submarine
i have no idea how to make one...but im making one
thing is ive made the hull as circular as i can and trying to get the nose cone right has nearly made my hair ignite like thermite!
im trying to get it like the american seawolf class submarine

I use ACB controlled hydrofoils to maintain the depth requirement i want. Just stick front and back of the sub some hydrofoils, put some ACB blocks that controls the hydrofoils on the vessel. Set the first ACB as "if vehicle main drive command is forward, set hyrofoils to -XX angle" set second ACB to "if at this depth set the hyrofoils to 0°" set the third ACB to "If there is a enemy set hydrofoils to -XX°", if there is no enemy around set hydrofoils to +XX°" set the last ACB to "if there is no main drive command set hydrofoils to 0°".
I think this will work but i dont actually remember the last time i build a sub.
You can find a lot of content about this on youtube, just watch and learn, its pretty easy to be fair if you dont want to use PID.

If i remember that sub its pretty easy to build, also you dont need those things what i was babbling about. It is pretty much easy to build a sub without ACBs nowadays. Just look at the latest video of Borderwise.

ok then BTW the seawolf cost 3 million each so...they arnt easy to build

Was that thing that big? Jesus christ how much time did he put work on that while i was gone

[Existence]

Oh wait, are you talkin about the real life submarine or a ftd submarine? Im a bit confused now

NONONNO the seawolf is american submarine built in 1989. it has 8 torpedo tubes and each one costs 3 million

are ballest tanks needed?

[Existence]

Ah, I get you now. I remembered another ftd video that contained a very good looking sub. Oh btw, Typhoon class (which has the same name as me) is cooler in my opinion.

In some cases yes, in some cases you dont need it

the tyhoon is a missile submarint the seawolf is an attack submarine

I dont specialize in subs if you can guess, Im a good ol' large caliber unsinkable water fortresses guy.

*two battleship boyz trying to design a sub*

Btw, you should start with a basic sub hull to learn the basics of the subs. If you go overcomplex with a realistic one, you might fail heavily.

Oh, can i take a look and upgrade your battleship, then upload it to the workshop btw. (I like refitting ships a lot)
