X-3 Dockable Minisub

X-5 AVAILABLE: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2812618908



After a couple of months and some good feedback from some people on the X-2, I decided to give the dockable mini submarine idea another crack, which much more success than before. Introducing the X-3, the successor to the X-2 and a pretty functional little submarine.

The purpose of the X-3 is to help augment larger submarines like the Robert 3 for just about any operation. With a speed of 225kph and a range of up to 45km as well as a small size, it can go places where bigger submarines can't(ie up rivers and in shallow waters).

From the outside, the X-3 looks nearly identical to the X-2, and that's because I used the same hull and powerplant as on the X-2, but the interior is much different, and for good reason.Unlike the X-2, the X-3 is an actual proper submarine that has a ballast system to help it stay underwater at slower speeds. This means that it's now possible to dock while underwater(see video). Additionally, I completely redesigned the cockpit to be less cluttered, so it'll hopefully be more user friendly. Another improvement over the X-2 is the addition of a docking port on the bottom. While I don't have any creations that it can dock with(yet) it opens up another opportunity for where you can mount this thing.

*Just a brief note before the specifications and features. I know that for full immersion, this mini sub is not perfect. For one, there's no way(without using the game map) to know where the mothership submarine is. This is a further expansion on the idea that I started with my first dockable sub, and I'll definitely continue to work on these kinds of vehicles.

Please let me know if I used your microcontroller or asset but have not given credit, the last thing I want to do is plagiarize.
