RAN and RCN Sea Kings MOD

This mod adds the Royal Australian Navy's Westland Sea King Mk.50 and the Royal Canadian Navy's and Canadian Armed Forces' Sikorsky CH-124 Sea King to Sea Power.

The Sea King Mk.50 is a British licence-built version of the American Sikorsky S-61 helicopter of the same name, built by Westland Helicopters and in use by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) from 1974 to 2011. In game terms the Mk.50 lacks the SH-3's MAD, but is equipped with a search radar, which makes it more versatile.

The Sikorsky CH-124 (formerly CHSS-2) Sea King is an anti-submarine warfare (ASW) helicopter designed for shipboard use by Canadian naval forces, based on the US Navy's SH-3 Sea King. Most CH-124s were assembled in Quebec by United Aircraft of Canada. The CHSS-2 was re-designated CH-124 in 1968, further to the unification of the Canadian Armed and became the CH-124A in the 1970s when the Sea King Improvement Program (SKIP) added a Litton APS-503 search radar and a FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared) sensor. The CH-124 served with the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) and Canadian Armed Forces from 1963 to 2018. In game terms the CH-124s are identical to the SH-3s except they don't have a MAD, while the CH-124As benefit from a surface search radar and a FLIR.

UPDATES: May 5th 2025. RAN Sea King: Replaced the SH-3 mesh with the HSS-2 one, which looks more like the actual Westland Sea King.
RAN and RCN Sea Kings: Replaced the mesh used to kitbash the spine mounted radar by a one that should not cause a visual glitch from long distance view.
May 6th 2025. Added Encyclopedia profile pictures.

Important (about mods and mods use):
This mod has been tested and is running perfectly on my computer (i7-11800H @ 2.30 Ghz - 16 GB RAM - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050) with no other mod enabled. However, since they are as many computer configurations than computer users, it's unfortunately impossible to guarantee it will work on yours.
Be aware that by installing mods for Sea Power, you are modifying your game experience from the original intended product which is (at the time of publication of this mod) still in EARLY ACCESS. Therefore, later game updates/patches may cause this mod to be deprecated. Although it is very unlikely, the presence of other enabled mods might cause conflicts, and the more enable mods on your computer, the greater the chance of conflict. So, to sum it up, USE MODS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
