[REL] Takao's Japanese Name and Rank Mod

Takao · 07-17-08, 01:50 AM

My Japanese Ranks and Names mod for use with Keltos01 Japanese Submarine models.

The Japanese names are in the Japanese style (Family Name, Given Name).
I used the names of all Japanese sub commanders, so you get 300+ first and last names. That is a lot of combinations to play with.

Now your crewmen have actual Japanese rank titles and Japanese Rank insignia in the Crew management screen.

A rank comparison between the US, German, and Japanese ranks is located in the Mod's Readme file.

KNOWN ISSUES
1. Usually, the Japanese Name will have a middle initial.
2. Infrequently, the Japanese crewmember will have two Family Names.
FIXES - Not that I could find. It seems to be hard-coded and not open to modification.

AESTHETIC ISSUES and HISTORICAL ISSUES:
1. I had to fudge on some ranks due to differences between Kriegsmarine and Japanese ranks. Hence, the veteran NCOs, Jun-Sho(AFAIK, not used during WW2), and Kaigun Gensui(fictious rank)
2. With the Rank Structure set up for the German's. The player is stuck, for the moment, of having his officers be Midshipmen, Warrant Officers, and Ensigns. I am working on changing the Officer structure so that the player will have either (Warrant Officers, Ensigns, and Lt. jgs) or (Ensigns, LT. jgs, and LTs).

AS AN ADDED BONUS!
I have uploaded 11 Japanese military songs, for use with the gramophone, to take you back to World War II era Japan. My personal favorite is the a capella version of "Gunkan March"

The files are:
Takaos_Japanese_Name_and-0.rar
