Hi there In 2013 I did an Independence class LCS that served merely as a demonstrator. The engine has still the old dreaded OFP 72 meter GEO LOD limit so it wasn't possible to use the LCS at it's best. I have been doing some experiments and I think I can get ingame an Al Mubshir class HSSV. It is 72 meter long and I have reduce it slightly to keep under the 72 meters limit. I have started with the modelling last week and I can show you a couple of screenshots soonTM. My idea will be to make it fully walkable, other features will depend on how I can manage to get things done. It is not a big vessel. It can transport vehicles and has a ramp to disembark them in harbors and can operate with medium helicopters. It can also transport a HUGE quantity of troopers so I think it will be more interesting than just a missile boat. It can also deploy RHIBs, gunboats, zodiacs, etc... so it coulb be used as a base for landing ops or as a mothership. Since 2013 my modelling skills have improved a lot so now I can get much mor work faster. It won't be RKSL quality but I think it will be good enough to be used.... BTW, I will release it untagged so anyone can edit and modify it as he/she wishes... STATUS 20/01/2019 Resolution LOD: 65% GEO LOD 90% (Ship is 100% walkable and character interaction with the ship is almost perfect) PHYSX LOD 90% Shadow LOD 90% (some glitched on the bow area) Roadway LOD 100% (Ship is 100% walkable and character interaction with the ship is almost perfect). - Optimized number of polygons in the railings. - Added a 30 mm Millenium Turret. - Animated boat docking system in the starbord boat bay (90% done. Still have to model and animate a few details but the system works). - Animated boat docking system in the port boat bay (90% done. Still have to model and animate a few details but the system works. Now you can load a gunboat or two RHIBs or SDVs or a combination or both). - Added vehicle in vehicle cargo capabilities. - Animated stern cargo ramp (cargo bay is fully enterable by land vehicles). TO DO - Complete modelling and animating all interior doors. - Finish modelling the bridge and cargo space. - Add a UAV control dialog that can be used from one ship turret (this will be added if I can understand how the damned Dialogs and scripts work) - add a way for getting fallen characters back on the ship if the fall into the water. - Add pathway LOD (documentation isn't clear on this).

After long period of efforts finally HAFM Naval mod came to a point that I and my friend Devastator_cm dreamed. Version 2.0 practically is a totally new mod replacing the previous 1.5 version (in case both versions will be used at same time there will be incompatibility issue). Bringing new ships, weapons, actions and capabilities, as much as possible like in the real life without breaking the game fun was our goal. We believe that we approached it by the best possible way so far. This mod is coming after the successful Submarines mod, in order to complete another aspect of Naval warfare in ArmA 3. For compatibility reasons we decided and split these two mods using another one as Common part/mod for Core and Weapon parts. Due to this, the Common part/mod (Core & Weapons) together with CBA are required for Submarines and Ships mods as base, without a direct dependency between Submarines and Ships (Ships does not need Submarines to work neither Submarines need Ships). Ships mod consists by six new Ships plus two from the old mod. New Ships are: Turkish NAVY - Barbaros class MEKO200TN Frigate - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbaros-class_frigate Greek NAVY - Hydra class MEKO200HN Frigate - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydra-class_frigate French NAVY - FREMM class Frigate - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FREMM_multipurpose_frigate Russian NAVY - Admiral Grigorovich class Frigate - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admiral_Grigorovich-class_frigate Russian NAVY - BUYAN-M class Corvette - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buyan-class_corvette A replenishment ship for each BLUFOR and OPFOR sides. Also a variety of weapons - missiles - torpedoes - cruise missiles - countermeasures, together with defense systems, are included in order to make things more realistic. So these Ships will also include: - Active Radar Console (same as submarines but for shorter distances) - Anti Ship Weapons Console (Torpedoes - CIWS - Missiles) - Anti Missile Defense Console (CIWS - Missiles) - Torpedoes Console (for Ships and Submarines) - Countermeasures for incoming torpedoes (same as Submarines have) - Cruise Missile Console (for deep strikes) - Artillery Weapon (Artillery Cannon) - Boats for leaving/entering the Ships (mainly for missions) - Helicopter Landing (half-scripted - almost all helicopters can be land - unload cargo into Ship - load cargo from Ship - leave landing deck - etc) - AI logic (in case ships are controlled solely by AIs, will perform evasive maneuvers and auto-defend or fire against targets) - TFAR compatibility - Replenishment Ship, with options to rearm - refuel - repair any same side Ship will be close to it (by the meaning of some minimum distance) - Flags on ships (user can choose default flag texture or add his own through eden attributes) Finally, in order to support mission makers and ensure compatibility for missions that have been build using the old mod version, there is an Optional part/addon which mission makers can use in order to be able to rework their missions in ArmA 3 editor, updating with new ships (with this addon any old mission can be loaded in editor and old ships will auto-replaced by new ones). Ofcourse, a detailed operations manual is coming with that mod, explaining the most parts of it as well as a text file with classnames. Required addons/mods for either Submarines or Ships: CBA_A3 HAFM NAVY Core & Weapons - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1523363834 Optional (for missions build using older ships version): Helper addon - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1523395341 Pre-release forum Ships discussion thread: Submarines release forum thread: Submarines Steam download link : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1362114638 Submarines Armaholic download link : http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=33913 Ships Steam download link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1118982882 HAFM NAVY Collection : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1543583710 Core & Weapons Steam download link (will be downloaded anyway with subs or ships - REQUIRED): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1523363834 Helper addon for missions made using the old version ships (optional): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1523395341 Operations manual (also included) external link: Press here Bugs tracker: https://github.com/Aplion/Navy---Ships/issues

Sorry guys and gals because you know I still haven't released anything but a couple of WIP source files and nothing finished As I don't want to monopolize the functional carriers thread I have decided to create a new one to show my WIP creating a Hyuga class DDH. I'm still modelling things and refining the exterior. These are old WIP screenshots. I have added a couple more details since then. She's going to have interior details and maybe 7 decks. The elevators work but no helicopter (except AH-6/MH-6s) can be loaded in the hangar (the main rotors get damaged. I would have to resort to scripting to get a Ghosthawk inside for example. The davits are already modelled and partially animated I will try to post screenshots showing how I have set the model and such so anyone can learn from what I'm doing I will also share any scripts I create for getting systems to work on the DDH. This is proceesing VERY slowly so don't expect an alpha soon....

WIP/BETA The last Brazilian Armed Forces update brought some naval units including: Three "Amazonas" class Ocean Patrol Vessels: P-120 Amazonas, P-121 APA and P-122 Araguari, each one with 2 organic RHIB's on each side. Those RHIB's are a port from Arma 2 ones, with new textures and new panel instrumentation (WIP) and are capable to carry up to 8 soldiers plus driver. All OPV's are REAL VEHICLES, movables and capable to receive helicopters on its flight decks, which have deployable fences and NVG landind guide lights. They are armed with one Bushmaster II Mk-44 30 mm front canon and 2 Bushmaster Mk-242 25 mm gun located at starboard and port side respectively. Commander has a FLIR pod located at the main mast. The vessel can carry up to 10 soldiers plus it's own crew, i.e: Driver, Commander and 3 Gunners. We'll increase that number to maybe 25. To do: - Be able to walk on it even when the ship is moving. - Detailed interior Lods for gunners, commander, driver and Cargo. - Proper damage configuration. - Custom sounds for engines and alarms. - Usable deck crane with slingload capabilities. - Deployable salvatage boats, for SAR missions... Exterior View Front Cannon Side Cannon Deployable RHIBs Functional Helipad One Brazilian version of Scorpène class submarine SBR S-40 Riachuelo. S-40 Riachuelo, is fully functional, capable of diving and "sail" around, it has two special features called: Emergency Dive and Emergency Blow, which you can dive or emerge more quickly. It is armed with SM-39 Exocet missiles, only capable to lock on targets and fire when surfaced, unfortunately. We'll implement in near future torpedo launch capabilities too. It can carry 22 soldiers as cargo plus its crew, and one mini sub or rubber boat on it's back for special operations insertions. To do: - Lock capabilities when submerged. - Disable water shader/effects when using internal lods, like I really would appreciate some help from Arma 3 GURUS on this feature! - Sonar for only subs or boats entities. - Acoustic countermeasures. - Torpedo launch script. - Recharge batteries snorkeling script Exterior view Interior view Exocet SM-39 As we always warn this is a WIP/BETA version and you can download it at: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=504306716 Please give us your feedback so we can improve it and correct bugs!

I'm opening here a new discussion - presentation thread about future HAFM NAVY mods which includes the Submarines (as released already) and Ships (authors - me and Devastator_cm). Current versions links: Submarines: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1362114638 Ships: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1118982882 On next (upcoming) version, Ships part will be totally replaced by new one which will include new vessels and similar functions as Submarines, plus a common mod which will be a requirement between the Submarines and Ships. Main Ships which will be included on the new version: MEKO 200 class Frigate (a Turkish and a Greek version) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MEKO_200 FREMM multipurpose frigate (basically the French version) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FREMM_multipurpose_frigate Admiral Grigorovich class frigate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admiral_Grigorovich-class_frigate Buyan-M class corvette https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buyan-class_corvette Plus a Gun Boat based on HSY-56A https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osprey_HSY-56A-class_gunboat as well as a CB90 Fast Attack Boat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CB90-class_fast_assault_craft And a common (different textures) Replenishment ships for both BLUFOR and OPFOR sides. These Ships will include: - Active Radar Console (same as submarines but - Anti Ship Weapons Console (Torpedoes - CIWS - Missiles) - Anti Missile Defense Console (CIWS - Missiles) - Torpedoes Console (For Ships and Submarines) - Countermeasures for incoming torpedoes (same as Submarines have) - Cruise Missile Console (for deep strikes) - Artillery Weapon (Artillery Cannon) - Boats for leaving/entering the Ships (mainly for missions) - Helicopter Landing (Scripted - almost all helicopters can be land - unload cargo into Ship - load cargo from Ship - leave landing deck - etc) - AI logic (in case ships are controlled solely by AIs, will perform evasive maneuvers and auto-defend or fire toward targets) - TFAR compatibility - For Replenishment Ship, will have options to rearm - refuel - repair any same side Ship will be close to it by the meaning of a minimum distance. - Flags on ships (user can choose default flag texture or add his own through eden attributes) (In case I forgot something I'll add it later). A detailed manual will also be delivered with mod upon release.

This is the latest update of my Naval mod (version 1.5) On this update many issues have been fixed and the addition of two more ships raise the number to seven. Most of the ships that have boats attached on them, now have the option for player to detach them and move as crew into them. I'll not post any detailed changelog as I worked so many hours on this mod that I'm not sure of what I've changed after all. One is sure, that all ships are working fine and still are deadly using their weapons even if the AI are controlling them. This mod has been tested only in vanilla game, using CBA_A3 (which is required), so I'm not responsible for any conflicts that might occur using other mods. The mod is coming as modfolder ready and all files are properly signed. Also a server key is included, plus a classnames.txt file for mission makers help.

Apologies for the pics. Im using a Surface Pro4 so it really doesnt have the GPU to do much more than everything on low. Features: LPD with helipad. PhysX compatible. Drivable. Multicrew positions Still to do: While the txtures do look ok there is still more work to do. RVMATs etc The CWIS isnt functioning. The PhysX in the dock is a bit tempermental I need to work on the Geometry a bit more. Animations - radar and cranes etc still need work. Loading management scripts - while the entire thing is PhysX compatible so you can drive around it. If you want to load something and expect it to stay put while you move the ship you need to lock it down. The scripted slots are limited and i'm working on expanding these.. Destruction - I'm planning on makeing it sinkable. Which means debris and lift rafts etc. Various other bits and pieces. Installation: Use your mod folders Use the BIS Addon Launcher. Finding the addon in-game: In the Editor look under BluFor > UK Armed Forces > Boats > RKSL Albion LPD or RKSL Bulwark LPD. Placement ingame: Place the ships atleast 20m from shore. This are big vessels and need space around them. Known Issues: Placing helicopters on the deck needs to be done carefully. Dont drop them from height. This will cause both objects to explode. Steering at speed results in the ship slewing. Take it slowly at first until you get used to the controls Too much speed can be built up if you are not careful. This will be limited eventually. Sharp turns resort in listing Feedback is gratefully recieved. Thanks Rock NOTE: This was an APRIL FOOLS joke. Since some people seem to have absolutely no sense of humour I'm adding this line in. LPD = Landing Platfrom DUCK. A Giant 40m Rubber Duck. Quack Quack! http://www.rkslstudios.info/index.php?/files/file/26-beta-of-albionbulwark-class-lpds/

Hello everybody After the news about the Jet DLC, i couldnt help but wonder why something has never been done about amphibious/littoral operations, namely something around the concept of a Marines DLC. More than a third of all vanilla maps are made of water, but in turn the only seafaring vehicles available are the RHIBs, the minigun boat and the submarine thingie. Way too little, considering all the operations that can be conducted from the sea. Burnes had started to make some landing craft utility boats, namely the LCAC and the Mk10, but due to a hardware meltdown everything was lost and the project has been halted since. But i feel there should be more in terms of amphibious operation vehicles -moreso than jets, BTW, but as far as i am concerned thats gonna be a badly needed Sensors DLC with some planes thrown in as a bonus. In particular, there should be for both west and east sides, something on the category of a LHD (more on that later), LCU, AAV and LCAC or heavy cargo lander. About the issues pertaining such a large ship as a LHD, there are some unexplored problems: there hasnt been such a big vehicle yet, so there is no reference about it's physics, hitpoints, vulnerabilities, how it should be damaged and eventually break and sink, etc; there is an engine issue about moving objects with people standing on them which wont stuck on the surface of said object but will slip away (or rather they stay still while the vehicle moves away), and this is a problem that also Burnes met when working on his landing crafts of his; and if our maps are waaaaaay too little for jet operations the very same thing can be said about naval operations (once you create a LHD for both sides it stands to reason that then youll place them both in a map and try to have the both of them throw things at each other). But if the first two are engine's problems, the third one is rather easy to solve: the space outside the map of Tanoa and Altis is still seawater, so you can go off the map as much as you want to. But then again, i dont plan to solve all the problems: i dont have the skills to address these issues. And the smaller vehicles are useful for storming beaches and badly in need to put all this water to some use. I only wanted to raise awareness on this issue and gather (or maybe just test) the interest of the community. So, what say you?

Description: I totally want this cargo ship, but it's not available in Apex... And I am impatient... So hey, I took matters into my own hands and decided to improvise a little bit. Therefore, this mod exists. So what does it do? Simple: It adds various cargo ship variants (ported over from Take on Helicopters) to the game. Sadly, they are *static* and *only* useful as background decoration. You *can not* walk on them (edit: Actually you can walk on a few parts of them), and the ships should never ever be placed in front of a players face, as they are lacking details and look plain ugly in close-up. This is a kind of middle ground I'll have to walk here... but hey, better than no ships at all in an island theme that screams for such stuff, huh? Additionally to the ships, this package comes with a script file that allows mission makers to create actual moving ships (originally written by zooloo75 - I've adjusted it a little bit for the purpose of this mod). For this script to work, simply place one of the ships in the map, then add to the init command line: _nil = [this,((direction this) + 180),500,0.025,0] execVM "\lexx\fn_shipMove.sqf"; Explanation: [target,direction,distance to move, speed, pause time] In the above shown example, the ship will move a distance of 500 with a speed of 0.025 - after this, it will stand still and do nothing. I might or might not try to touch up the texture a little bit in the future (I am not a good graphics dude), but in any case, it will never be enough to allow the ships to swim right in front of the players view, as they simply lack geometrical detail to ever look really good in 2016. For a distance shot, they are still pretty good, though (and come on, it sure as hell looks much better than this scene from Apex. The syndicate sure as hell likes their Trawlers).
