So I put my engine in a submarine.

Profile


Engine


Fuel cap


And everything else that doesn't matter


When it's done it'll have an entire interior/shell. It kind of looks like a boat though... I don't know why.


MAYBE IT LOOKS A BIT LIKE A BOAT BECAUSE YOU FIRST WANTED IT TO BE A BOAT
HURRHURR

I SEE WHERE YOU'RE GOING AT

ITS A loving MYSTERY

when i saw the title i ws like "eh, just another sub". then i saw the engine and i was like 0-O


Hey, Teh cool to see you back.

Any idea of what Submarine you are recreating or what scale?

That engine is a bit too large for a vessel of that type. The submarine with a engine of that size would be twice as big.  Also, modern nuclear submarines have a nuclear reactor and steam turbines; even those are smaller than your monster engine.  I like how you're going about the hull, and I hope this helps you make it as real as possible.

The design of the hull isn't teardrop shaped, so I highly doubt he's making a nuclear boat.

Diesel generators and batteries would be in the aft portion of the boat, and would have enough room for people to fit between them.

I agree, now that I look closely (assuming this is the back of the sub that he's making,) as well as the deck, it looks rather like a U-Boat.  Still, the engine still seems a bit large and a tad bit too far forward if the above observations are true.

This shows the approximate appropriate size for a submarine diesel engine, which by the way is a V-16.

He said he's fixing it, and is working on it in his server.

I should make a pack of nothing but engines.

That looks cool! can u post the save when its done?
