so what do you think of the color pictures of IJN subs ? if you use google translate you can almost read the pages in japanese :) then you see a sign "read more" under each subs' photo, click and get access to more picture like the sunrise Sen Toku.

Good pictures, I am very impressed!

Currently I am reading "The Japanese Submarine force and World War II" by Carl Boyd & Akihiko Yoshida, and it only got a couple b/w pictures. It's rare to see color photographs from WWII, compared to tons of b/w images.

[keltos01]

very good book indeed, about the pictures seen here I believe they were colorized using really recent techniques, but they still look better than BW ones !

Any pictures of japanese submarines you have, you can post, there are so few...

keltos

[Te Kaha]

I'm afraid I have... none. :cry:

All I could do is searching the web, let's see what I can find.

BTW am watching your progress on IJN/SH4 stuff, thing it'd be a good challenge to play the other side for a change.

[keltos01]

good, I'm playing now, it's been a while ;)

try the 2.8.2 version then, the jap campaign will be something !

Miscellaneous IJN ships most b/w as far as I have checked

And here's something special - colour palettes or plates or whatsitcalled;

Those are cool pictures! I think I found my new wall paper.

then again I change it now and again,

[gimpy117]

how did the colorize them??? is there a special program they used?? or did they just guess??

After three 4 carriers were lost in the battle of coral sea and the battle of midway some of the IJN bb were fitted with flight decks ,, this is why you see this

[keltos01]

She, the Ise Battleship, is actually already ingame, although I've never seen her.

Not that it really matters to me given the side of the war I play ;)

*yoinks the Sen Taka images* :up:

Edit:

I'm pretty sure the last image is a Sen Taka Sho...the hull has the same bumps and there's only a single row of holes with a long open line under them...just like the Sen Taka Sho image.

But...Why is it marked 'I-201'?

...That's odd...
