And so concludes the project that is my first collab, with thefalkenreich to turn his submarine into a 100% functional Ballistic Missile Submarine.

This was not only me adding my usual functional touches to someone's submarine model, but a fantastic testbed and reason to focus on improving my main Submarine Based Weaponry. Now, I have an improved lower part design for my guided torpedo with much greater firepower!

Alongside that, I've developed an improvement on my ballistic missile design which you can see on the build linked here. Ballistic missiles with an added feature to enable submerged launch. These weapons will be used and iterated on in future builds, thanks for the opportunity falcon!

And onto that, I announce my Greater Underwater Propulsion Power program. Based on the real program to modernize WW2 submarines in the 1950s, my program will involve converting submarines (Whether piston submarines or even non functioning models) to fully functioning submarines! Note that I will be selective with this, choosing to modify the subs I want to. I will make a separate post regarding rules and conditions for the GUPPY program. Keep an eye out for that!

Release list

Requests

  • USS Croaker (Gato Class submarine)
  • Vanguard Class SSBN
  • Ohio Class SSBN
  • Kilo Class submarine Remaster

(1950's list on hold, due to a number of requests, I will be back on it once these are done provided I don't get any more requests)

    @thefalkenreich We could sometime, though for now I'm gonna focus on requests, the Croaker being what's coming up next. Seperate uploads for the Trident and Torpedoes will likely come sometime before that as well.
