Los Angeles Mod for stock SH4 V1.5 (mod version 4.2)
by ETR3(SS)
Description
This is a mod for SH4 V1.5 that adds the Los Angeles Improved class submarine to the game as a playable unit for campaign, single missions, and single patrols.
Installation
1. Extract to MODS folder
2. Install using JSGME
3. Run game
Compatibility
This mod overwrites many files. It is recommended to only use this version on a Stock SH4 V1.5 game only. If there is a particular mod you like that doesn't overwrite anything in this mod you should be fine to run both.

Nice sub I tried it out, my only concern about it is that for a newer type sub I think that it should do more then 6kts submerged.. It is had to get away from the DDs.....
