White Sands Realism

Note : As of 12/23/24, certain missile code has been depreciated by the devs, changes have been made to WSR to bring them in line with said dev changes, but the dev changes are currently WIP so expect missiles to act a bit weird until these changes are further formalized by the devs.

A general overhaul of all in game units and systems to bring them in line with their as trialed and deployed performance.

Changes include but are not limited to,

Missile burn time
Missile range
Missile guidance performance
Missile payload
Round payload
Round MOA and dispersion
Proximity fuse range
Countermeasure count
Magazine capacity
Weapon rate of fire
Available loadouts

And much more

All changes can be viewed in the pinned discussion


Currently implemented:

Historical countermeasure count for all aircraft
NATO mount overhaul pass
PACT mount overhaul pass
Aerial guns overhaul pass
New Loadouts
Aircraft engine performance pass
GRAU weapon designations with NATO reporting name / nickname
NATO weapon designations with NATO reporting name / nickname
USN Ship performance and displacement overhaul
Missile burn time specified
Missile guidance parameters specified
Naval gun accuracy pass
Naval gun damage pass
All carriers use all elevators during combat, Forrestal elevator code provided by rileysrogues, check out his collection here https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=3365617622 - Said mods are no longer needed as such functionality is included in WS


In progress:

More Tweaks

Future plans :

Magazine pass
Loadout pass
New loadouts
More Weapon sub variants
New Weapons
New aircraft

Compatible with :

More Weapons Mod - Load White Sands after this mod for MWM to take effect

Actual Soviet Vessel Designations - White Sands does not modify vessel names at this time, can load before White Sands

NTU - Load White Sands before this mod, NTU currently adds mostly it's own equipment, it along with it's PACT equivalent are fully compatible if WSR is loaded prior to both.

Realistic Damage - WSR does not modify the modules.ini file which any of the "ship health" mods do, thus all of them are comparable with WSR, you can load them before or after WSR

Mods that add new ships - WSR should be loaded first, but in most cases this should not matter as WSR does not modify ships themselves and mods that add new ships are self contained, thus, WSR should only add to them without issues.

Partially Incompatible with :

Weapon Names for Civilians - Weapon names are modified, load before White Sands to take effect, text will be missing from White Sands content

Realistic Radar - White Sands makes very similar changes to RCS, but also makes changes to IR emissions, can be loaded before White Sands to overwrite White Sand's changes but it is not needed

Incompatible with :

Carrier Full Capability - WSR includes similar features and some of the code used, separate mods are not needed, credit to rileysrogues - https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=3365617622

Issues :

AGM-65s from rotary wing aircraft require you to fly to exactly 1000 ft to launch, use the set altitude function to 1000 ft before giving the engagement command, this will allow the helicopter to properly engage targets.

Steam sometimes hates updating mods for Sea Power, if the mod seems to be having major, unexplained issues, unsubscribe from the mod, wait for the download bar to complete, and then re-subscribe. This fixes a number of common issues that arise when updates are pushed.
