Some addons for MNW
Posted: Sun Jun 21, 2026 4:47 am
Hi all,
Just in case you're not aware there are some community made add ons for MNW already coming out.
I'll list some here for reference:
1. LOFAR Search tool. If you're trying to classify a track using the Narrowband and struggling to find the match in the recognition manual, this web based tool will help. Plug in the monitored tonal frequencies and it'll give a list of potential vessels classifications. It runs in a web browser window but needs a download for the database:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... YE4aaTtfV9
2. External Narrowband analyser and database tool. Created by a sonar operator, this tool will listen to the audio output of your computer (yes, in MNW, listen to the broadband waterfall and turn on the audio, then go into this tool and select "capture") and breakdown a broadband track into a narrowband discrete frequency readout (side note - yes this simulation models the sound accurately - the broadband sound is really made up of the real tonals from the target vessel). From here one can identify frequencies and save the classification to a local database to allow the player to create their own classification data from their own captured sound intercepts. Available here and is updated regularly so check on discord :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XXGGFc ... mVEZZ/view
3. Standalone Mission creator. Lets one create their own missions through a web based portal :
https://www.mnwcommunityeditor.com/
4. Dynamic Campaign Generator. Allows one to create a persistent set of connected missions. I think campaign is perhaps not the best term for it - dynamic patrol generator may be a better term. This won't create a full scale war for the player to take part in, it'll just create a setup for a connected set of missions using consistent OOBs from one mission to the next. Available here but check discord for details because it is updated daily - sometimes multiple times:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZoYrQ2 ... 3BiZb/view
Oh and by the way, there is a GIUK map available in game that has been found, so there is the possibility of operations not just in the south china sea but the coast of Greenland, Iceland, UK as well. I think this hasn't been formally announced because the vessels available in game don't really fit with GIUK operations but its fun to try out the sim there.
EDIT : In case you'd like to discuss MNW in realtime, there is a discord group frequented by the developers and various consultants here : https://discord.gg/pCDGJ3Pe
