[needed] Unpoto transport barge
We will need an Unpoto transport barge 3d model to be able to make suplly trips in our IJN submarines.
My aim would be to add it to the raft one usually sees casting off in the suplly mission. does anyone have that model in stock ? from combinedfleet.com : I-38 Quote:

Is the the collapsable landing craft with 2 fish for motors? It looked very much like the Type A LC we have. It would be easy to alter that to at least get something close. Remove the screw, add the back of a couple fish to it... scale it as required.

there's also the unkato though I don't know how to implement that one..
I-Boat Captain, page 139 "The unpoto was already working successfully when the unkato was introduced. This was truly a remarkable experiment. The unkato was a cylinder 136 feet long with cone-shaped ends. It was 16 feet in diameter. Both the cones were ballast tanks and there was a third ballast tank in the unkato's center. These three compartments were separated from the long cargo space, which had a capacity of 377 tons of food, ammunition and medicines. WIth a strong hull structure that permitted submerging to depths of 400', the unkato was adjusted after loading so that it had slightly negative buoyancy, then it would be towed out in the middle of Simpson Harbor and secured by a long tow line to the stern of a submarine. Once the submarine cleared Rabaul, it would cruise along the northern coast of New Britain to the point where submerged run was to begin. When the submarine dived, the unkato would submerge with it. On arrival off New Guinea, the submarine would surface and release the unkato, which was then towed to the beach by men from the shore." front : Uploaded with ImageShack.us back : Uploaded with ImageShack.us http://www.pacificwrecks.com/ships/i...gata-rear.html keltos Last edited by keltos01; 09-13-10 at 11:17 AM. |

Oh, that is entirely different than the folding landing craft. Nevermind then. Looks like you need to build that like a kaiten.
