Surprised R* allowed the Stromburg in there somehow.

Wondering now if others would work too if you can get them in position without drowning. 😆 Probably only allowed those two though.

I love it.

Parking it up near the beach gives you pretty much full control over the city including a bit of the vinewood hills and palomino. It will be fun to make some tryhards sweat.

The periscope however is a bit sh*t. It barely sticks out when submerged and in rough seas you'll get kicked out constantly because its below the water.

The interior sounds are pure ASMR. Easily my favourite interior. Best part about the update, excluding the Toreador and the actual Heist imo.

I dont think that other vehicles will work.

The sub only shows up as a potential parking spot for the stromberg and that new subcar, when you buy them.

Ah, thanks @Black-Dragon96 I bought the Toreador before I could buy the Sub. So only noticed it was a garage slot when I went to the garage where I thought the Toreador was in. Instead the Winky I then bought was in that spot.

Directly behind the bunk area, middle floor. In the mess hall on the metal serving counter there should be a case of sodas, and the prompt should appear

So you can park the Stromberg and Toreador in this, but are there any helicopters you can put in it besides the Sparrow?

Well, I guess it would be too much generosity from rockstar to be able to put other non dlc vehicles in the sub

It's probably like the Terrorbyte where you can glitch a different vehicle in its spot and it can be requested, but it won't actually show up inside the sub unless it's a Sparrow.

 

By the way, the Sparrow also has Armor/Engine/Handling upgrades that aren't available to buy in the sub, so I will try to glitch them on and see if it makes a difference.

I believe the reason why they only allow the Sparrow to be stored in the sub is because the rotor blades of it are removed when the heli is inside the Submarine, they went through the trouble of modeling an entire version of the Sparrow without the blades just so it could make sense to store in the sub...

 

But Jesus, why couldn't they just do the same for the Buzzard, Havok and Sea Sparrow at least? It shouldn't be that hard!

 

Oh well, at least my Stromberg has a proper home now, my little shark was living inside my MOC for a couple of years by now.

What's funny is that there is text in the files that suggests it was planned to have an amphibious helicopter (e.g. Seasparrow) in the sub. But I guess they figured why not sell people a whole new helicopter...

Use the staircase in the room behind the control panel (where you pilot the Submarine) to access the second deck below & go through the Private Quarters to the kitchen.

 

The tray with the plates next to the door is where you can get the snacks.

Want extra fun? Park sub next to yacht, activate yacht defence, spam tv missiles. Just don´t use free drive, it deactivates the defences. Also, when you get wanted, you need to buy away the stars and reactivate the defences.

Kosatka missiles and Sparrow (not Sea Sparrow) can bypass the Yacht defenses.

 

Also, Kosatka, despite its size, is light, compared to Khanjali tank.

This means you can push the submarine over land with a tank to whatever pool you want.

A previous poster asked whether or not the sub can be airlifted via the Cargobob. If the sub is indeed lighter than the tank, can the Cargobob be used to move it? 

 

I'll be away from my console until later on tonight, so I won't be able to test it myself until then. I was just wondering if anybody has tried this yet.

I haven't bought the Sparrow yet and I have two questions:

  1. If you do *not* have a Toreador/Stromberg parked in the Kosatka, but own the Sparrow and/or Avisa, does the Kosatka still show up in the Mechanic list?
  2. Is the Sparrow a personal vehicle when requested? Or put differently, can it be on the map along with a personal vehicle?

It can be on the map w/ personal vehicle. I just took it to land and pulled out my go kart for mods so can confirm.  Not sure about question 1 though....

Thanks.

 

I also know the answer to question (1) now; the sub does not show in the Mechanic list unless there is a car parked inside -- similar to the Terrorbyte. Thanks to @RyuNova.

Rockstar put some dibs on a badass name for a sub that translates as Orca from Russian.

Imagine some admiral giving a name to a submarine and finding out there is already one in a computer game.

 

There already was Kosatka submarine in Russian Navy, but it was in 1905...

I'm surprised how Soviets did not name any submarines this way seeing how fish names were really common among them. Schuka (Pike), Akula (Shark), Kal'mar (Squid)...

Soviet namesakes are a bit odd, but calling ships with adjectives seems like a common theme.

Also, i still find this positively amusing, like calling artillery with flower names.

Naming a nuclear submarine station with cartoon character name? It's likely than you think.

"A bit" would be an understatement. 

"Friendship" the Chainsaw and "Tenderness" the Chemical Warhead are probably my favourites. 

From my field of work there are Su-27 cannon and AI. "Ballerina" and "Panda" respectively.

Wasn't "Tenderness" not the female kevlar armor?
