on the current stable version (non beta) having too many units in mods will instantly crash your game
either go on the beta, remove large mods (ToE or RSA are infamous culprits in terms of size) or wait until the beta update goes to the main branch

My game crashes with the mod enabled. The logs are no real help. Anyone having similar issues?

that's intentional, if you look up those ships many of the earlier ones don't have their full FCR/SAM fit, and some don't have any SAMs at all

On the earlier Udaloy's, both 85 and 89, have part of a sensor invisible. Where the later ones have directors.

the reason for this is because of the new custom models, the work it would require to selectively downgrade my mod so it half worked on both beta and main would be too much to justify versus waiting a few days

PELT is ready to go but I can't update until the main branch updates, if you're desperate for carriers to work go see in the BuOrd discord server in #sp-mods-progress

Any news on the status of the mod update to the new build? Thanks

@CBRattler13 if you're looking in the encyclopedia, it doesn't work when it comes to ship variants

The Udaloy's don't have unique models for each class mate anymore, is this a bug?

this mod doesn't change any of the base game mission compositions, that specific mission just has a random chance to have a submarine or not

I haven't even really tried your mod yet, but I opened up All you Guam Belongs To Us, and immediately noticed the sub that usually starts in the middle of the enemy task force is gone and thank you for that, that always felt so stupid, really excited to see this mod just based on that :D

fixed on my build but im not sure when to update, some of the new airwing stuff isnt backwards compatible

It looks like the CV´s can´t launch or prep more than 1 plane at a time. Any chance to fix it? Thanks

Thx for such a quick response. I was asking you this because back in September you mentioned that you'll try to "get confirmation about it". That's all.

why are you asking me this? it'll come eventually, but probably only when model support comes

So, did you get confirmation from the devs about the Kresta 1 ciws superstructure?

I just saw the way you've made kh59M and kab-L bombs is absolute gold.

Gotcha

if you want to argue about something ingame, then tell me specifically what the issue is so i can look into it

So the main takeaway is that if we want to argue about something in the game we should test it ingame/datamine and then we can talk about sources.

i would say it's a bit ridiculous for me to have to justify every single line of code i've written for a mod for a videogame, if you guys find something reputable that disagrees with my mod then share it with me, otherwise im not going to compile everything i know into a document for you guys to pore over

so unless you have sources of your own i'm going to assume everything that i think is correct in my mod, is actually correct to the most reasonable degree, until proven otherwise

Id argue that giving sources (even if theyre in a text dump) is helpful as there is alot of variance even within soviet sources (e.g. technical specifications vs practical tests or even prototypes vs operational performance atleast within my own research of soviet aircraft and books written for the public having alot of exaggerations, military primary sources are much more reliable) . It would also be great if we can check if the sources are primary or not or if you guys misinterpreted some of the data. Still great mod though, it seems you guys did your research and stuck with reliable (mostly primary) sources.

its to deter people who ask for what sources i used for the mod as a whole, who don't realize that soviet sources exist and all data is export or from testimony/russian data

much of the data collected for the mod is from online sources that are readily available, very little is from western books on the topic, and a significant portion of the research comes from russian books and manuals, alongside first/secondhand accounts and reasonable extrapolation in the absence of data

furthermore, I'm not the only person who's done research on this, so the mods data (especially subsurface) is carried on the back of valoda's exceptional work

this doesn't actually deter people from using gathered information to contest my data, i appreciate it when someone corrects me, but usually it ends up being someone doubtful soviet equipment actually worked and the USSR apparently lied about everything on documents they never released

For the section on sources in the mod description, can I ask what you mean by that? I interpreted it as citing sources are not needed for clarity. I personally believe you should as it allows people to correct you, though but that's just my opinion.

i also intend to rework all guns whenever ivan reworks gunnery as most guns cannot even get 25% of their rounds without the proximity fuze distance at most ranges

ive done plenty of tests, and most engagements ship guns do not shoot down any missiles without excess preparation time, and manage a kill every other engagement

it's random chance, so perhaps you are simply getting lucky/unlucky

many incoming weapons were recently intercepted in the recent red sea campaign, and there are dozens of recorded tests where 3-5 inch ship guns have downed incoming sea skimming missiles, target drones, and aircraft with relatively small fire salvo amounts

there's even official USN documents to congress to show ammunition expenditure and drone usage, and gun performance in the cold war in exercises can be extrapolates based on expenditure, and hit rates overall are above 5%
there are also papers highlighting some of the advantages and limitations of main guns in air defense, they aren't completely hopeless in the role and are generally underestimated in most representations

In practice, with these settings it was destroying about 20% of an incoming missile swarm (almost as much as the SAM defense net) which seems totally implausible. 1% seems more realistic. In general guns in AA mode seem way too effective even in the base game. Manufacturer ratings and actual practice are very different. In numerous engagements, I don't know of any documented case of 100mm+ guns actually intercepting an incoming missile.

remember that its 10% for every round it can actually get in the fuze range, so actual kill chance per shot is significantly lower
AK-176 is rated to kill a missile target in 25 shots, and AK-130 is of a significantly larger caliber, iirc armat only requires 10 rounds to kill a missile on average

also, this is only a 10x increase from stock because it clamps to the nearest percent, meaning all base game guns have a 1% chance to hit

Gun hit percentages seem way out of line with reality in this mod. Take the 130mm: It's set to a 10% hit probability against missiles which is a 2000% increase over stock game and seems totally implausible. Even with radar guidance and proximity fused shells, this is an artillery round, not a CWIS

It showed the Late loadout in the same line as Default right before I made that comment

it should definitely be fixed now though

uh, how? i havent updated the mod yet?

The Late loadout is now in the proper place

there actually is a late loadout, there's just an accidental duplicate loadouts section higher up in the file than it should be
fixed, will be in the next patch, thank you!

@nuclearstonk Second Slava in wp_rkr_slava_variants.ini has a nonexistent loadout "Late." There's only Default and Top_Plate in wp_rkr_slava.ini right now.

my bad, will fix

Great job!
Found one small bug:
Kara_89 Kerch-loadout aft SA-N-3 launcher is not functional.
Delete "Default" from "WeaponSystem2Default".

None.

Steregushchiy-class
Gremyashchiy-class
Admiral Gorshkov class

are the ships that have Redut

what ship in pelt use 9M96?

do you have NTU and PELT installed? do you have another mods installed as well?

Why all the names in the encyclopedia show up, for example, "MISSING: usn_bb-iowa89 name or squadron reference" ?

copy that,thanks

@BINOGX the type 033 is not a WWII ship (its a mid 60s diesel electric romeo clone) and the four homing torpedoes i gave it are 70s spec because the representation of the 033 ingame is of its 80s type (given the entire class is ingame)
if you want a 60s version of the ship it would be easy to make, but there is literally zero difference between them other than the inclusion of 4 crappy ASuW torpedoes

Could you separate the more capable type 033 and the base game ww2 version?

yes, they should, will be in the next update

Will Chinese submarines get "Active Intercept Warning" like all the other subs?

oops

I think I found a small mistake. Why is there a SPY-1B radar in the sensor's list of 1990's Slava? lol

mod's updated
