Underwater Update #10: Return from break! Did I open the Floodgates? (Edited)

69.3k MintLynx  4.8 years ago

Hello! I've concluded my break and now continued work. I'm currently building a type IX U-boat per LancasterAce's request. So far it's coming along quite well, and should be ready for release by Friday night!

As for my main releases, I plan to go back and forth between American and Russia. An American sub one week, and a Soviet sub the next. Assuming I don't have any irl delays (or requests) of course. As always though, Requests take priority in my building! So if there is a sub you want made feel free to ask anywhere.

Release List

Requests

  • U-Boat type IX

Soviet Union

Also, I tried to use Freerider2142's new Orca Heavy to try and lift one of my subs. Ultimate conclusion is that while the engines potentially have the power the magnets don't.

    that u-boat is in a Chicago museum, I went to see it like 2 yrs ago and made a model of it. I thinks it's U-505 and has quite a story.

    @Jerba Three planes if memory serves me right. And I could do the Ohio after the Vanguard, also already got the I-400 as a request, which I will start once I finish the type IX.

    The I-400 was able to fit a plane in, right? If I’m wrong please correct me and do you think you could make the sub? Also, make a Ohio class if you haven’t please.

    @Tang0five That is true! So I think I'll go with the Vanguard.

    If you developed a trident you could then use it on USS class bombers/boomers too! :) @MintLynx

    @Tang0five Hmmm, both are interesting ideas. The Vanguard would be a first for me as a nuclear boomer. Plus it would give me the chance to build a Trident! which would utilize my method for making Ballistic Missiles to its full, MIRV'ey potential. :3

    @Nerfenthusiast Good idea! I'll keep that in mind, and credit you with the idea should it work.

    @Nerfenthusiast Oh shoot, well good thing I'm no stranger to building a submarine aircraft carrier. Guess I shouldn't be too surprised I'd get this request! XD I'll do it, and it will launch three planes like the real thing!
