SS Musket - Midget Torpedo Submarine

Description
Like a real musket, The Midget Submarine SS Musket is fitted powerful projectiles, 2 unguided long range torpedos. Thanks to it's big battery bank and silent electric motor, SS Musket can traverse underwater undetected. The onboard diesel generator, provided with compressed air supply enables SS Musket to charge it's battery both on surface & underwater while moving. SS Musket is also equipped with 1920's state of the art technology: The Hydrophone. Combined with a bearing compass, SS Musket can detect any target with its hydrophone & aim the target bearing within seconds.

SS Musket is small enough to spawn everywhere, including starter workbench








OPERATION

1) Diesel Generator

-The diesel generator charges the battery bank. Turn on the Fuel, Coolant, Exhaust & Air pumps and hit ignition. The diesel generator runs at full throttle but can be throttled down if desired.
-The diesel generator can run underwater as long as there is compressed air supply. When running, the diesel generator charges its compressed air while on surface & consumes it while underwater. (Note: compressed diesel generator air supply and the compressed ballast air are stored seperately and charged seperately.
-Engage the generator clutch to charge batteries.

2) Electric Motor

-Electric motor is always on if the main breaker is on. Throttle is UP/DOWN keys.
-SS Musket can maintain 23 knots and not drain battery while the diesel generator is running and the throttle at 0.175. Throttling more than 0.175 starts draining the batteries.

3) Maintaining Battery level / Ampere Dial

-SS Musket features a "Battery Ampere - Gain/Consumption" dial. With this dial operator can see how much power is getting drained (by the electric throttle or hydrophone) or how much power is getting charged with the generator. Thanks to this dial operator can micro-manage the power consumption/gain and set the submarine's electric throttle at a rate that doesn't drain any battery when the generator is running.

4) Ballast Tanks

-Bow and Stern Ballast controls are located on the right of the control station. Simply flood the ballasts evenly to the red line for neutral buoyancy. The more diesel fuel consumed, the more ballast is needed.

5) Unguided Torpedos

-Aim at your target (refer to guide manual to aim correctly), turn on "Arm Torpedo" switch and hit "Fire Torpedo".

Great design and efficiency!

Bilge pump seems to be unresponsive in me. (feed seems to be air rams, and output a modular engine air manifold inside the main compartment).

Am I missing something?

@QuanticCinergy I did continuous testing for like 40 min and the temp stabilizes around 90 degrees. Modular engines get damaged at 115

wonder how much heat the disel generator can take

The guide says "account for the targets velocity and torpedo travel time" is their a consistent working method to do this

@BomberEx Thats really nice to hear. Thank you! I enjoy making them when I get some free time. Also, amazing poetry, I never had someone write me a poem before lmao. I'm gonna print it and hang it up on my wall

I just have to say part of what makes your creations so good is the way you make these infographic spec sheets. It feels like im looking at a classic instruction manual
BomberEx Feb 5 @ 12:04pm 
Oh Benzin how I admire thee
Waiting in the workshop for your creations to be
Look its another masterpiece!
Benzin, your creations make my sadness cease.
















Just thought I would write a little poetry to show my gratitude for another amazing creation

its just like the mosquito or puffer fish or bacteria, they are small but deadly
