RED OCTOBER , boxed

This was a blind purchase by me, because there is no showroom ingame. But fortunately didn't regret, its a really good and nice detailed sub. The only cons that is not modifiable, so I can't remove that hated red star from the tower (the russian red star is a forbidden symbol of autocracy in my country).

This is a update of my previous review as further research seems to indicate the excessive bugs I experienced where prompted by the sim I was on and not seen a reoccurrence of them on other sims thus far. In short an extreme level of scripts errors where generated anytime a pose was changed and none of the poses like sit in a chair worked. Traveling on other sims I have not seen any of those problems. I wish I could find an easy way to identify the server/sim software version in place I am on each sim so we can see what software version these bugs are tied to.

All that said this is a nicely detailed submarine of that in the book The Hunt for Red October and the film by same name. There are some differences as mentioned in the notes, the submarine in the book/movie was a modified Typhoon class submarine (at the time it was first released was and might still be the largest submarine ever built) and is nuclear powered with 20 ballistic missiles. The submarine we have here in SL is said to be a Kilo-class diesel-electric submarine without the four launchers for Kalibr cruise missiles the Kilo-class has in RL.

The submarine is not that big and easy to use though intended for people well over my six feet with the poses posing me approx one foot of the ground and I am still not tall enough to use the fixed height periscope and many things are out of reach. Nonetheless a lot of details are seen in the sub and easy enough to operate. If the owner intendeds to explore the seas make sure to right click the sub and pick Board so you can pilot the sub and make it move. As a side note, the Kilo-class looks like it might be making a comeback in RL.
