Ijn yubari

[mfykes]

Sirs,
is there any way one can add a IJN YUBARI Light Cruiser to the ship selection list within the mission editor? Has such a ship been created and if so, how does one add it to the mission editor's ship selection list.
Thank you.

I did some research on this "Yubari" ship. Yes, it was built between 1922 and 1923 as an experimental scout cruiser.

Link to Wikippedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_cruiser_Y%C5%ABbari

Now, as for adding it, one would have to create a visual model to put into the game. And unless there's a model of the ship floating around on the internet, it may take a while to build. Then he/she would have to make certain files so the ship would sail properly; it wouldn't have to be dead-on realistic, but believable for a 4,000 light cruiser. And also some many other odds and ends that i wouldn't know what to start with.

You'll have to look around on subsim, I'm sure you'll find someone able to help you out (i can't because i don't know squat about modding, lol).

Oh, and dispense with the "Sirs," ya landlubber! Just call me Peggy! :arrgh!:

I might be wrong on this, but I believe that the Yubari is already amongst the list of Japanese ships you'll find in the ME in TMO 2.0. I'm at work right now so I can't check to be absolutely sure.

It's certainly in RSRD traffic

[razark]

From looking in the various mods, it looks like it's included with Run Silent, Run Deep. It does not appear to be included in TMO without RSRDC.

Yep, Lurker has it in several areas, so it's there, Here is a SS of it....have to compare it to the real thing, but I assume whoever made it did a good job.

"PEGGY!!??!? Yeah, right!"
LOL Thank you so much guys. I'll keep digging on this site and see what floats up. I asked the question because I see on my copy of SILENT HUNTER COMMAND EDITION, the IJN YUBARI look pretty dog gone good. It would be a great addition to the SH4 mission editor.

[subskipper53]

Well, there ya go. :D

I only have TMO 1.9 + RSRDC, but i've never seen a Yubari, from the start of my career from 1941 to the present, March 1945. After this career i'm going to move on to RFB 2.0, so wish me luck. *Max realism powers ACTIVATE!*

Btw mfykes, lmao. How 'bout Cap'n Ahab? i'mma d/l TMO 2.0 later and torpedo that Yubari; she'll be my Moby Dick, LOL.

And you're welcome.

Good Hunting! :salute:

It being in RSRD as an added ship, your only gonna see it the few times he placed it in traffic, so regardless of what supermod, TMO or RFB, using RSRD with them it will still show in the same place. One could peek in the ME RSRD campaign traffic to find it's locations.

The Yubari was sunk by a sub in 44

I had this list of all warships in RSRD, long, but may interest some as to whats included.

That's quite a list. I mean, I knew there were a lot included but, seeing them all together in a list like that kind of puts it into a grander perspective. :up:
