Kashin Destroyer Mod

[Pikey]

With the upcoming Viggen we missed a Naval s-125 ship launched Goa of the period that Viggen's and previous would have faced from the 60's. Whilst redoing a ship from scratch would have taken months for part timers, instead we concentrated on a landing ship of a reasonable age to fit and I swapped the weapons about on a Resky model which apart from the ughly missile launchers in the front, is very similar (for as close as you would get!).

Additionally, the guidelines posted about redistributing ED EDM's have prevented me from doing all the work for you for a JSGME mod so you need to swap some files about.

 

What we have here is a Resky ship with the SA-3 naval variant mounted. There is no SA-N-1 in game https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-125_Neva/Pechora but you get ED's missile to contend with and that might satisfy you enough whilst trying to get in to kill those landing ships.

 

I've created a text file dummy where you need to COPY ED's FILES from your own installation into the plugin folder structure. It's honestly a couple of minutes work and gives you something very new to face on the open sea, the S125 is a nice range, this is the earlier version, not the 30nm version of the B variant based on my in game observations and casual wiki knowledge (yea I know)

 

TLDR; this engages you at around 8-9nm and is a lot easier to contend with than the SA8, which is slightly shorter range but more accurate and deadly in my game testing. It's also less capable at v low altitude. Viggen fodder.

 

Hope this helps someone, if even you want to see how it was done, it might spark some interest in modding for casual people. I neither code LUA, model or texture, I'm a pure tinkerer so enjoy messing with it. Likewise - If you think you can see places to improve it, please do so and upload back here.
