I want to add one more SSN model, exclusive for USSR, researchable through Naval doctrines - Alfa class submarine, possibly available through events.
Why I want to include it? Because it was rather big achievement for naval technologies at the time it was produced and if I'm not mistaken, US wasn't unable to come up with something similar in terms of speed and automatisation.
What do you think? Yes or no?
 
Yes, but what will be the chance this unbalance the game??

Ok for me if the model list don't get (more) messed up.

Edit: And suggest some statistics for them because i'm going to need help with the naval unit's statistics.

It will require one new model: MODEL_29_12, to be added, that's all(and ofcourse events or something). As for statistics, I'll finish gathering soviet naval names and will take care of it, mkay?

How it will unbalance game?

Oh ok, take your time.

P.S. I want to know, will we use off-map countries annexation for stats update on units? Because without it, all those range/stats improvement techs won't work.

Nice techs, nice ideas.

It would be nice to do it, unfortunately i don't know how to make it :(

Well, both mod33 and Mod34 have this system and it works nicely. Maybe we can ask them to help us with it?
Basically, there should be two off-map countries(like UN in our mod), for example System and Update. Each two month System annexes Update via event and each two month Update is liberated via event.
So it works like this:
February 1st, 1955 -> System annexes Update
March 1st, 1955 -> Update is liberated from System
April 1st, 1955 -> System annexes Update
May 1st, 1955 -> Update is liberated from System
...

EDIT: doh, too slow

Sub-branches:
Carrier strike force will provide bonuses for CV/CVN and DD/FRG. Also allows construction of SSN. (USA doctrine branch)
Carrier Support Role will provide bonuses for CVL and DD/FRG. Later allows to produce SSN(70's - Future) and CVN(90's - Future models) (UK/France doctrine branch)
Capital Ship Focus will provide bonuses for CG and DD/FRG. Later will merge into Brown Water Doctrine (Swedish navy)
Support Ship Focus will provide bonuses to DD and FRG. Later will merge with Sealine Interdiction. (PLA navy)
Sealine Interdiction will provide bonuses for SS and FRG. Great bonuses to convoy raiding efficiency. Later will merge with Support Ship Focus and allow production of SSN
Decisive Interdiction initially provides mediocre bonuses to SS/DD/CG. After invention of SSN, doctrine shifts to SSN/SSGN and DD/FRG focus. Allows production of CVS/CVL(60's - 70's) and later allows production of CV and BCGN. (Soviet doctrine branch)

Kretoxian, can I get positive or negative answer to that annexation-update thingie? It's quite important and some current air and future naval/air doctrines techs depend on that descision. :)

Nice techs.

About the annexation, i don't know, if it's going to slow down the game.... better not, the game is not running as fast as it should be and with 40 years of game it can become an endless pain.

However, was it so important?

Well, if we are not including it, any tech with unit stats modifiers(like +500/-500 range), won't work. This means, that air refueling and AWACS techs will be deleted from air tree and Brown water navy will lose it's main feature(range reduction).
As for lag, it usually creates 2-5 seconds freeze when annexing/releasing nation(same as in vannilla HoI), apart from that, I haven't noticed any real lag that can be blamed on that system(I'm speaking about Mod34 and mod33).

Oh wonderful then, i thought that it was general lag (continous). Then, yes go ahead and make it.

Yes, thanks but why do you use the TRA and PRI tags? shouldn't they be U69 (United Nations) and U70 (European Union)?
