At first, when I heard about this mod, I was a bit surprised it was being made, since isn’t RAZBAM was also making a Leander class as well? But after downloading it I have to say this is one of the nicest addons to the DCS naval fleet, Well done team. I’m already going ahead and doing some research on the class and making changes to the Lua file so it’s come up in mission editor just like how ED has it. Enjoy this photo of this 80s style RIMPAC.

Yes, @ElvisDaKang you heard right that there is Bainbridge in the works. The goal was to get it out by Christmas but some issues came up. @Admiral189 will launch her as soon as he feels it’s ready, till then here is a screenshots back on the 18th for you to drool over.

Yes, it's true US Navy subs speed is classified but with what information is out there we know the sub can cruse faster underwater than on the surface. I think the 20 knots is for when the sub is running on the surface only but even the true surface speed is not available, I think. Best that can be done is to make a close guess on just what is the sub surface speed and go with that.

Hey, @toni, @Admiral189 has USNS Patuxent a Henry J. Kaiser Class AOR available for everyone and he has more oilers in the works it's just going to take time. I showed him a Wichita class model that would work but he has been working on the Sacramento, here are some screenshots from last month.

Oh yes, I've been wanting a Brazilian seahawk skin for a good while, it will look great with São Paulo battle group I've been slowly putting together.

Because it's not just a job, it's an adventure.

The Discord group might be a good idea, get a mix of testers & modders that are interested in this, can share their exercise with ships in DCS & real life and use their talents to help with some of the issues, & help with some of the details so @Admiral189 does not have to stop what he working on. I agree with @gonano4 take what you know now and implant it to the USS Bowen before releasing it, so you don’t have to go back and fix it.

There has been a lot of back-and-forth chatter about the 80s Iowa refit in the forum, most of it over at HB pages. Nothing official just people throwing the idea out there here & there. I think doing an 80s Iowa class is going to be a bit of a challenge and I know @Admiral189 has a lot on his plate already. I would not mind seeing a third-party dev team take on this.

I was just going to do that and add @crazyeddie new liveries to it.

The one in game was disabled long ago, I use this mod for an SH-3. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3316150/

Which ship is not showing up the in game for you?

Your welcome, sorry you had to see her like that. Most old salts don't want to hear what happen to there ship after it's decommissioned.

Interesting to hear you say that. I was telling @Admiral189 back when I was growing up in Bremerton in the early 90s to late-2000s, most of the west coast Knox class ships were mothed ball there. So many that some had to be moored out in the inlet together like in the photo. @jsr9597 the Knox herself is on the right in the photo.

I was going to say, the only time I ever heard the term flat deck was when someone was talking about the old WWII carriers that did not get their flight decks changed to an angle flight desk but turned into Landing Platform Helicopter “LPH". We called the big carriers "bird farms" & submariners "Bubble Heads" in return they just call us "targets" instead of greyhounds or tin cans. LOL

To download Type 45 just go to the first page and on the first post, there is a link to a dropbox where you can download it.

Click on the application file and it will install it for you. if its still not working for you I would hop over to desdemicabina forum page.

For that ship you want to go to this site and download it from there. https://www.desdemicabina.com/Inicio/

So far there is no new information or official post from ED on the next patch date. My understanding is only the Forrestal will be out on the 14th, the other sisters like Saratoga are planned and being worked on.

The only preview pictures I have seen as of lately were from the storm birds article back in June.

Yeah, I'm not sure why they did that. I'm right now making changes to the Narwhal file & Lua file to clean it up.

Yeah, it does, but the Dallas & Ohio models are not that great looking when you get to look at them closely.

Actually @toan it should be in that mod you posted, they have it listed as WWII USS Narwhal. Why they listed it as a WWII sub I have no idea.

I got the subs some time ago but to be true there really not that great looking, only one of them (Narwhal SSN-761) looks decent. I was hoping to change them out when ED puts out something, but it looks like @Admiral189 is going to try his hand on being a bubblehead, haha.

I got to say man, you did a fine job, a nice touch for the Mariana islands map. Thank you for making it happen.

So, this morning I went ahead and repaired my DCS so I can get the updated db_countries script. After adding the code back in, I can tell you it still works.
