If anyone is ever in Sydney i'd highly recommend visiting the maritime museum as the Daring class "Vampire" seen in this mod is moored as a museum ship which you can explore.
I was told that the OHP nevere received their Tactical Towed Array Sonar TTAS and their hull mounted sonar was different too. All 6 Adelaides were long hull, fitted with RAST and Seahawk helicopters. HMAS Brisbane was later refitted with 2 CWIS in place of the removed Ikara launchers for service in the first Gulf War.
This is the kind of info that really helps! Once I learn how to change weapon mounts I will add more variants to spice things up. Also currently limited to using models in the game but perhaps I could try make a Seahawk out of a Seasprite like with the Ikara
At least for some of the relevant time period the ROCN would be operating a couple of ex-Imperial Japanese Navy destroyers which would certainly be interesting
HELL YES, So glad to get Australian Warships, even if it's a mod at the moment. Glad to see someone understands how important our Navy is, it's just a shame you can't get custom models yet
indeed, sadly for us there aren't any S-class ships yet and the MEKO for both are early 90s ships so they aren't included in the game's setting. see you at the Aegean komsu
Oh cool. I've already made some Australian missions by re-flagging American Adams/Perrys to Australia. Nice to have a less bodgy way to do it now. Hopefully they can figure out how to update the models to make them look closer to their irl counterparts at some point
Haha intimidating fishing boats is about their only use sadly. They did apparently have an 81mm mortar with no reference to ASW but I couldn't get it to work.
@@RagefpsCould you maybe set it up as purely surface-target capable cannon (like the Iowa's 16"ers are) with a low muzzle velocity for high arcing shots?
Its definitely on the cards when we get some more models as I am very much limited to the models in the game already. I would need some kind of light angle decked carrier and A-4's to make it work
@@IO-hh2fz Yes I could but I feel it would be taking kitbashing a bit too far specially when I cant change textures so the 'A-4's' will be flying around in USN colours. Hopefully we eventually get a Charles de Gaulle or something and an A-4 and then I could make it work
later on the Adelaide class OHPs got SM2MR upgraded targeting radar for the SM2, then later an 8 cell VLS in front of the mk13 launcher. IKARA was ajoint RAN/RN weapon used on many earlier RN Leander class frigates (and RAN versions) plus HMS Bristol had it too.. Ikara used a very different launcher to ASROC too Perth class had superstructure differnt between the funnels. EDIT that Fremantle looks nothing like a Fremantle and the Daring has the wrong turrets and looks more like an earlier Battle class should have the twin turret same as the County class and Leander class
the vls being used for quad packed evolved sea sparrows to give them 32 ESSM's although to my knowledge nothing stopped them using anything else that could fit (pending any softwware or physical updates to the ship required for the other types of weapon)
Thanks for the info! Yeah I know the Daring has the wrong guns I am still trying to figure out how to change weapon mounts/meshes etc. Limited to using game models at the moment hence why Fremantle looks like a bad movie prop. Also moved the Ikara to the Mk13 rail until I figure out how to give it its own launcher
@@bigpoppa1234ESSMs weren't quad packed on the Adelaide class, the 8 cell launcher could hold 8 sea sparrows only. Quad packing can only be done in strike length tubes like on the Anzacs and Hobarts
If you are looking for another cool mod, check out the Yang-class MOD III, almost it's entire armament is custom upgrades done by the RoC navy. It's wild to see a Gearing with SM-1 box launchers bolted to the deck.
Yeah that is a work of art that mod I have spent tens of hours trying to get a single gun to work and this guy changes everything. Now thats real talent!
Adelaide and Canberra were pretty close to standard, made out of aluminium. But the models after them had an extended flight deck and were made of steel after seeing what happened in the Falklands to RN alloy ships, so damage control should be stronger. Unfortunately, the Fremantle looks a poor copy. The Daring has the general design. But hey, we have a start. ❤ look forward to more and hopefully ship numbers. Cool an O boat. 😊 Hopefully, we can get a white Australian flag (ensign) and possibly a RAAF P3C Orion. But I'm very happy to see these, as some friends and I were just chatting about it the other day. 😊
Thanks mate yeah I am limited at the moment to game models and textures and I still haven't figured out how to put a different weapon mount on a ship. It has been a steep learning curve and TBH I never thought the mod would be so popular so here I am trying to catch up :) BTW I could add the P-3 to the Australian faction but I can't re skin it
@@AussieDave04 Awesome thanks so much Dave! When its time to add Melbourne I will let you tell me what needs to be done :) In the meantime anything you see thats wrong just let me know and I will try and fix it. Sure sounds like you have some good stories from your time on her!
Yeah I made the decision to update that because come on surely anything larger than a frigate would carry at least a few pairs of NVG's but the stock game only seems to run the Eyeball MK1.0
far to many ships i love to see in sea power like helicopter carriers essex the midway carrier and enterprise cvn65 uss longbeach hdms Willemoes class peder skram class royal navy County class guided missile destroyers boxer class type 21 frigates amazon class frigate for the jokes but year so many ship i cant wait to see them add nato or non nato i dont think or know if they have plans for it but i love to see them continue the game into modern day with burke class and vls
@Stealth17Gaming Sorry, yes my apologies to the MOD designer as they have done a great job and I'm so happy to see Australian ships added to the game. I should have said it as a possible future suggestion and certainly didn't mean to have a go at the mod developer.

I went on that ship and the Oberon class next to it in September. Really awesome experience nerding out
Don't delay that visit.
The Maritime Museum at Darling Harbour is moving in the coming year !
To my fellow Melbournians I would also recommend HMAS Castlemaine
The last all gun Destroyer!
Me:
*sits down and waits patiently for the Royal Canadian Navy*
(Bonus if the Canadian ASW planes can drop floppy magnets) 😂

That Ikara is a nice tool.
Hoping that they'll add Italian Navy, JMSDF, and ROCN in the game. The latter is easier as it's mostly ex-US Navy ships.
At least for some of the relevant time period the ROCN would be operating a couple of ex-Imperial Japanese Navy destroyers which would certainly be interesting
HELL YES, So glad to get Australian Warships, even if it's a mod at the moment. Glad to see someone understands how important our Navy is, it's just a shame you can't get custom models yet
That modernized OHP could be used in Turkish campaigns great stuff

Freemantle? Cool, now someone needs to make some scenarios based on the Sea Patrol show.

@@RagefpsCould you maybe set it up as purely surface-target capable cannon (like the Iowa's 16"ers are) with a low muzzle velocity for high arcing shots?
@@IO-hh2fzgreat idea I will try it as soon as I figure out how to add/change weapon mounts
@@RagefpsA 50 Cal could also be mounted on the mortar.
Good to see that this game already gets some love from the mod community; that bodes well for the longer future.
Hope they add the Majestic class CV's Melbourne and Sydney.
Its definitely on the cards when we get some more models as I am very much limited to the models in the game already. I would need some kind of light angle decked carrier and A-4's to make it work
@@RagefpsMaybe you could repurpose the Tarawa as a stand-in for the Aussie Majestics?
Same with using the AV-8 or MiG-17 as an A-4 stand-in.

Now we just need a mod for the the Royal navy!!!
Need a Royal Navy mod
A good video as always! 👍
Finnish Navy Mod just published ;)
My brother in law served on the Perth.
As far as I know, the Perth class should not have Harpoon missiles.
I wonder why they didn't model the 4.5 inch twin gun houses they carried as built.
AUSTRALIA MENTIONED 🗣🗣🔥
Spreading freedom, one kangaroo at a time

Will do
@@FoxxofNod I hope so too the community here is amazing and really helpful so I am sure someone will point me in the right direction
IIRC the Fremantle in WGRD had a mortar?
They had them irl, but removed in the 90's

can you review the type 21 mod please
Adelaide sensors are a little different, advanced optics vs optics
Yeah I made the decision to update that because come on surely anything larger than a frigate would carry at least a few pairs of NVG's but the stock game only seems to run the Eyeball MK1.0
I believe there is a mod for the Royal Navy as well.
Haven't found one. There are various RN ship/sub mods but not a comprehensive one that I could find
@@Stealth17Gaming Agree, the only one ive found is the Type 21 Frigate mod.
far to many ships i love to see in sea power like helicopter carriers essex the midway carrier and enterprise cvn65 uss longbeach hdms Willemoes class peder skram class royal navy County class guided missile destroyers boxer class type 21 frigates amazon class frigate for the jokes but year so many ship i cant wait to see them add nato or non nato i dont think or know if they have plans for it but i love to see them continue the game into modern day with burke class and vls
The Expanded arsenal mod adds VLS Tycos etc however as the mod author says it becomes very titled towards NATO once the VLS capability comes into play
Indo-Pakistani Naval Battles??
It's a shame the crew voices don't match their ships country
It's a mod mate. Can't expect a full voiceover right away.
@Stealth17Gaming Sorry, yes my apologies to the MOD designer as they have done a great job and I'm so happy to see Australian ships added to the game. I should have said it as a possible future suggestion and certainly didn't mean to have a go at the mod developer.
Do they come with DEI captains that run them aground?
I managed to capsize a Kanimbla class when I was testing its helicopter function does that count?😅
Wrong Navy, that's the Kiwi's.
