Here, I have seen all of these previews and pictures on CFC, but no links! So, out of frustration, I have created basically the same thing that is described in the Polaris Sub thread. The sub shoots a cruise missile (SAM animation) out and the missile sshoots up and out of sight. Its good, but I don't know how to use it correctly. I have given the civ-3 nuke sub bombard ability and range equal to that of a cruise missile. The only problem is that now when my sub goes to attack another sub, instead of torpedoes, it fires cruise missiles! I don't know how, in the .INI, isolate one attack to purely bombardment and one to be for engaging enemy vessels. I think this might be fixed by filling out both Attack1 and Attack2 on the .INI, but I am not sure. If all else fails, I can just give the cruise missile abilty to a Boomer sub (Akula's typhoon) instead of an SSN (civ-3 default). The problem with this is that the Boomer sub wouldn't be able to attack (kinda accurate) and the SSN wouln't be able to carry cruise missiles (that Sucks). Help would be appreciated.
Here's the Attack .FLC, just put it into the Nuclear Submarine folder and update the .INI:

Yeah, I know. This is more like an SSN though. SSns carry cruise missiles, SSBNs carry SLBMs. There is no way to make this unit work by making it nuclear, so its an SSN.

I haven't played around with this -- what happens when a sub is flagged "Transports Tactical Missiles"?

It then both carries tactical missiles and is a nuke itself. I just want to see a real SLBM (besides the polaris Cut and Paste) and an Ohio Class SSBN. It should be big, but not as big as Akula's Typhoon which, in my opinion, was too big.
