Would it be possible to update this to use VLS 2.0?

I have a question, would it be possible to replace the 5 inch guns on the Iowas and possibly the Montanas, to be the more rapid firing Mk-42 naval gun? Lastly, have you ever thought about making YouTube videos on Kitbashing, because I must say, you are an absolute professional at it and I would love to see how you break things down and do it. Thanks!

Went off beta and all missing text issues fixed, thanks for your help.

It's because you're on beta, I'll talk to the devs about a fix.
GoldLeader108  [author] Apr 20 @ 4:05pm 
Are you on beta?

Could you make a version where you replace the 5 inchers entirely with VLS cells?

would you know what exactly to tweak? I am unfamiliar with editing things like this
GoldLeader108  [author] Dec 29, 2024 @ 4:34am 
Yes, just open the INI files in notepad and make your desired changes in the magazines
Thicc thighs save lives Dec 28, 2024 @ 8:40pm 
is there a way to tweak the the loadouts in the file? Such as converting the mixed loadout to all anti-ship tomahawks and standard missiles
GoldLeader108  [author] Dec 28, 2024 @ 12:42am 
Use the loadout system, in the encyclopedia you need to use the Test Mode in the F10 menu

Is there a known issue with the Standard Missile Variants? I can't seem to find the Standard Missile Variants in either the encyclopedia or the mission editor

Just a thought. Have you thought about adding a fourth 16in turret in the aft section and making a slight re-arrangement of the 5in turrets to make a modern day Montana Class both modern day and VLS versions? The "other" Mighty Mo that never got a chance to be completed and show what she would be made of in sea power would rock in my opinion.

Sadly no, nothing in game has the numbers except carriers, and I can't use carrier numbers
Decadence Dec 25, 2024 @ 9:15am 
Would it be possible to add names and hull numbers for the unbuilt BB-65 and 66, Illinois and Kentucky?

Which ships do we pick from the list in the scenario editor? I can only consistently get ships with the upgraded surface to surface missiles. A few times I've gotten the upgraded air to air missle ship, but when when checking on it after placement it changes to the anti surface variety.

Accept my friend invite and we can discuss

My NROTC unit at University of Missouri had a model of the Missouri in the entry hall to the building. We always looked at it and wanted to modify it into a BFMS. AEGIS weapon system. Remove Number 2 turret. Remove the then old 5" guns and replace with six modern 5" or the 8" gun the Navy was toying with in the late 70s/early 80s. VLS tubes in all the places you removed turrets. It would have been glorious!

GoldLeader108, Is it possible to commission something like this? What is used to create the ship mods both artistically and specification wise?
BBsquid Dec 17, 2024 @ 5:45pm 
This is an amazing mod, and reflects a proposal out forth by a retired Army Colonel, save that he added two more CIWS mounts( forward and aft).
The Raytheon(I think) proposal removed turret 3 and rebuilt the fantail to include 244+ VLS around the perimeter of the hangar/flight deck complex, a hangar with 1 elevator and two ski ramps--images of the phase II refit are plentiful--wirh and airwing of 12xAV-8B and 6 heavy lift helos.

On all variants, the 5"/54 is the single 5"/45 Mk 45 fitted to the Spruance and Ticonderoga classes, normally depicted as mounts 51 and 52, 55 and 56 (the 2 fwd main deck, and 2 aft main deck) as Mk 45, with mounts 53 and 54 (01 level under the bridge) as original twin 5"/38s.

Just wanted to clarify, but this is an amazing mod

These errors are minor and don't effect gameplay in any way, it merely comes down to some minor issues in the code that there is no need to fix
jasoriab Dec 17, 2024 @ 12:12am 
This is the scenario I've tried, https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3385161078

I've tried a clean install of the game, with only the three mods listed in the scenario I've tested enabled, and I still get those error messages in the SeaPower logs

Could you please see what's going on? Thanks a lot ;)

@Yaivenov Wow, thank you sir!!

*shady guy in the corner* "I've got what you're looking for..."

Thank you sir!!
GoldLeader108  [author] Dec 16, 2024 @ 9:23am 
It is possible but it would require modifications to files that would interfere with other mods which is why I did not do it.
✠Lavinia Falcone✠ Dec 16, 2024 @ 8:38am 
Hi guys!! Can we make a extended range for 406mm?? It will be cheaper in medium range(per shell) than tomahawks
Yaivenov Dec 16, 2024 @ 7:05am 
Thank you again! You have no idea how long I've wanted to party on a modernized Iowa.
aFitShacedRednek Dec 15, 2024 @ 2:56pm 
in case you aint been told today, you a bad ass!
Yaivenov Dec 15, 2024 @ 2:15am 
@JDQuesadilla Evidently, yes! :D
JDQuesadilla Dec 14, 2024 @ 8:29pm 
I honestly haven't looked into the whole kitbashing scene yet. Is it even possible to swap out the 5" mounts for a different weapon system like a sparrow or rim-116 launcher?
JDQuesadilla Dec 14, 2024 @ 8:26pm 
Yesss! Thanks for being so quick with that hotfix! This has definitely become my favorite mod on the workshop.
jasoriab Dec 14, 2024 @ 2:33pm 
Fixed :steamthumbsup::steamthumbsup:,

Thanks!! :steamhappy:
GoldLeader108  [author] Dec 14, 2024 @ 11:10am 
Fixed, unsubscribe and resubscribe to update.
Eila Deker Dec 14, 2024 @ 6:20am 
Mod is now 4.6GBs i think you did something wrong
Yaivenov Dec 14, 2024 @ 5:04am 
That last update seems to be bugged. The mod is no longer showing up by name in the modlist (numbers?) and the mission editor claims the VLS Iowa is missing (loaded up a mission I already had one in).
JDQuesadilla Dec 14, 2024 @ 2:26am 
Hey IDK if its just me, but the mod is now just showing up as the Steam page number and also not activating correctly. All I have active is your mod, NTU, and Improved Tarawa. Love what you've done here and can't wait to be able to play with it!
jasoriab Dec 14, 2024 @ 2:24am 
Hi @GolLeader108

Please check the latest version of the mod you have uploaded to Steam. When you uploaded the original/game folder, it now takes up more than 4.5 GBs.
JDQuesadilla Dec 14, 2024 @ 12:15am 
Bet. Changing a single letter in the mod files is easy enough. NGL the Weapon upgrade thread from @Yaivenov had me salivating lol
GoldLeader108  [author] Dec 14, 2024 @ 12:01am 
I left it with the base game Harpoon for people who would like to use just the strike variant without NTU.
JDQuesadilla Dec 13, 2024 @ 11:47pm 
Is this supposed to have the old Harpoons A's or does my load order need work?
Yaivenov Dec 13, 2024 @ 9:10pm 
There were a few different plans made for VLS and launcher arms from the 60's to the 90's. Some explored replacing Turret 3, others explored replacing all or some of the 5" mounts, and the last I think explored completely rebuilding the superstructure of the ship into a missile farm.

As to the weight issues of removing Turret 3, I'm sure they could find a way to add equivalent tonnage. You need to replace about 3500 tons from the turret (2700 tons) and the barbette (~800 tons I think). Easy enough to add hangars for helicopters, and looooots of missiles (and their associated hardware) until you tally up to the necessary tonnage to keep the ship balanced.
Picken_Wolf Dec 13, 2024 @ 8:08pm 
In order to load the VLS variant make sure you have the mod enabled in the mod manager menu
Magos ti-85 Dec 13, 2024 @ 7:09pm 
I think removing turret 3 would probably cause some serious weight issues for an Iowa, VLS is heavy but not as heavy as a turret
Veers Dec 13, 2024 @ 2:46pm 
I thought the idea for VLS on Iowa was removing the back 16” turret and use that space. Its interesting seeing it up higher.
Sky Burger Dec 12, 2024 @ 5:43pm 
a newbie question. This sounds cool but how do i download it and install it??
patton610 Dec 12, 2024 @ 3:08pm 
I have ntu install but all I'm seeing is iowa and iowa. Are these listed somewhere other than us/ vessels ?
mmm...pie Dec 11, 2024 @ 10:35pm 
sweet
willdabeast Dec 11, 2024 @ 9:20pm 
god damn... aint a problem in the world 244 tomahawks wont fix
GoldLeader108  [author] Dec 11, 2024 @ 5:59am 
@retarded-runabout if you mean in the Encyclopedia, you have to use Test Mode in the F10 menu, it uses the aircraft loadout system. If it's not showing up in the mission editor then that's a different story.
easy4life23 Dec 10, 2024 @ 5:19pm 
lol i was working on this and u beat me to it
