JellyCubes Weaponry - Jupiter Class Ballistic Missile Submarine

[JellyCubes]

The ultimate in weapons of mass destruction, the Jupiter class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine is highly moble, virtually undetectable and offers any country first strike, second strike and decapitation strike capabilities. Comes equipped with ICBMs.

A roughly 1/4th scale of the US Ohio class nuclear ballistic missile submarine. Measures around 42 m tall and 4.3 m wide. Top speed is 40 knots (~20 m/s) with an endurance in excess of 1,000 days at maximum power thanks to its nuclear reactor.

Usage notes:

[list type=decimal]

[li]Use the .craft files provided. Creating the sub from scratch in the VAB is sort of complicated.

[/li][li]In the provided .craft file, there are two solid rockets in either the first or second stage. These are parts with a dry mass greater than its wet mass and serve to orient the submarine correctly in the ocean.[/li]

[li]The RCS system is used as the ballast tanks. Press \'n\' to increase weight (to submerge) and \'h\' to decrease weight (to surface).[/li]

[li]The conning tower acts as an advanced SAS unit.[/li]

[li]To make it easier to get the submarine into the ocean, the diving planes generate a lot of lift and the submarine can be flown like an aircraft and all parts have high impact tolerance and can survive water impacts of >300 m/s.[/li]

Thanks to gabyalufix for their RCS ascent/descent method. :thumbup:

Just yes!

Now make a train that can do the same.

[Damonjay]

I love you.

[Technical Ben]

This game does EVERYTHING!

[Damonjay]

Just had an idea.

we need depth charges to deal with this new weapon

any ideas how to do it?

:Edit

The hunt for Red October just became a little bit more serious

It would have to be heavy. An SRB fitted that both drives it and acts as detonator, with a massive heat production which makes it explode after a few moments. So the ship carrying it can fly, it should have the dry mass > wet mass too. It would be basically the same as how the submarine sinks.

Now i must paint it yellow

[MC3craze]

Now this is cool.

[XSP-Xenon Space Programm]

we need defnently more ship-parts

[Cepheus]

I...er. Good god. What\'s next? First rockets, then planes, then rovers, then boats. Now, SUBMARINES. What\'s next? Litho-vehicles?

[gabyalufix]

Wait, did you build this overnight, or did you already make the models, and were just waiting for someone to invent a way to make it work?

Either way: too awesome for words.

Pehaps you could complete my challenge on the challenge thread

I keep thinking to myself:

It\'s pretty funny when someone makes a ballistic submarine .part for a game that\'s buildt for launching rockets

But awesome pack man very creative!

[Tosh]

Woah, it works)

The only problem is engine wobbling at full thrust -- but it seems unsolvable for now.

BTW it\'s \'gimbalRange\', not \'gymbal\'. Though it doesn\'t change anything

sound_WASSERBOMBE!!!! = activate

( those who saw Das Boot know what I\'m thinking right now.)

The crazy awesome mods that this game permits always surprise me.

[Fragal]

this is just awesome! great job

[GoDamitt]

BTW it\'s \'gimbalRange\', not \'gymbal\'. Though it doesn\'t change anything

But if you spell it gymbal, it doesn\'t work. I found a part with it spelt wrong. I changed it and now it works.

I mean that engine does not stop wobbling even if it\'s spelled correctly

[JellyCubes]

The engine still gimbals even with the typo, it just changes to a smaller, default gimbal value.

The current value works perfectly fine, so I don\'t think a change is really necessary.

[Damonjay]

Guess which pack got a mention in Damien Raynes Interview with Harv;)

congratz man

[gabyalufix]

Have you tried amping up the Breaking force and torque?

Try changing

breakingForce = 10000

breakingTorque = 10000

to something like:

breakingForce = 1e30

breakingTorque = 1e30

And see if it still wobbles then. Dunno if it will help, just a thought.
