Stupid question...

Do I understand correctly:
Atm, only single missions available for playing as Soviet / PRC CO?

Not at my Pc atm, but dying to know!

!!!! :O

[Kartoffeljoghurt]

Yes, 6 single missions in total for russian or chinese subs, but just a select few at the moment. Han for the chinese and Carlie I, Alpha and November for the russians :)

[Kartoffeljoghurt]

Really awesome stuff btw, Devs, you're doing fine work!

[Cyrrus44]

Thank you KFG !

[JazzGuru]

Wow, an awesome game just keeps getting better. Nce one KFG!!!

Since this is now in beta, I think I will hold off on the release of my Chinese campaign... the new stuff that 1.15b brings to the table is simply too good to pass up, and I definitely want to integrate it into the mod.

[Justicier10-7]

Absolutely love having the integrated Mission builder in-game, very nice feature!

Also fantastic to have proper masts for REDFOR vessels, loving this.



I am sure that there are a few things that are still WIP, but I just wanted to point out a couple things:

Loadout for the Alfa is pretty limited compared to information available on the web. For instance, GlobalSecurity, Deepstorm, hisutton, all list the Alfa-class as having 18-20 torpedos on board. (Similar issue for the Han, as the most common number I have seen has been 18 torpedos)

Charlie II class is currently still using the same stats as the Charlie I... same weight and dimensions, same speed. At the very least, the Charlie II is heavier and longer than the Charlie I, and most of the sources I have seen have listed the Charlie II at 24 knots maximum compared to the Charlie I's 26.

Yeah I noticed the other day the Alfa-class only has a load out of about 12 SET-65 torpedoes (pretty sure the Alfa carried more torps then that). It baffled me for a little bit then I remembered the soviets had the EST-53-65 wake homing anti-ship torpedo which could only be used against surface targets. I’m guessing the Alfa prolly would have carried a few of these Type-53’s as well since they were particularly tricky to evade due to their unique homing capabilities, however since the Type-53 is 1. Useless against submarines and 2. Not really pertinent for ASW ops and thus not modeled in the game, this might explain why the Alpha only has a load out of 12 SET-65’s. This is at least how I reconciled this discrepancy.

This at least explains the limited load out before this update! I admit now that we have a playable Alfa things are bit out of wack, maybe we can prompt KFG to give us the Type-53 torpedo. that would be kind of kool!

Thank you so much for the alpha/lyra Killerfish! I dreamt of driving her since hunt for red october! Russian and chinese subs are an awesome addition to an already awesome game! I hope you will keep on expanding this game for years to come : french subs someday?

[Fercyful]

Great patch!! So happy with the NATO surface ships + heli. And the Mission Editor WOW! Thanks so much!! Was trying it and I notice if you play with PLAN you can see NATO as enemies, but if you select Soviets you can't see NATO as the enemy (just the helicopter but not the surface ships in the list) Just reporting. Amazing work! Back to game now
