Awesome mate! D/ling now! :D

Have you adjusted the reliability and the warheads on the torps?

[skwasjer]

Enough with the thank you's already, I've only made two props spin in the right place! :lol: Personally, I would never be able to make such a mod (as all the other stuff you've made), with all the modelling etc. You've done some nice work yourself. :up:

PS: take another look at my PM of the other day. Judging by the screenshots you may have overlooked some of my suggestions.

[keltos01]

Hi Skwasjer !
I didn't overlook your suggestions : I will emplment them later, I didn't have the time yet. I basically remade the mod, added a couple items like the second type of Kaiten and the new turbine torpedo which nearly got in service.. and made the specs more accurate.

I also edited the item informations.

There's still work to be done on this mod.

[skwasjer]

Oh ok, forget what I said then :smug: Carry on.

[peabody]

Enough with the thank you's already, I've only made two props spin in the right place! :lol:

Ok, since you made him stop, can I start?:lol: Really appreciate the assistance, I had given up. I knew the starting location was wrong and why they were in the wrong place, but I just had my mind made up that the existing numbers were not going to work for the rotation so I gave up trying. I have learned a lesson. I gave up, simply because I made up my mind that those numbers were not going to work, so I stopped trying to find the real problem. (probably would not have found it anyway, but I gave up without a fight)

Skwasjer,

do you know why the model has a white bottom in game as opposed to 3DS ?

keltos

[keltos01]

I modified the detonator in size and location so as to fit the Kaiten nose, and added a 3D node to the Detonator node of the Kaiten type 1, type 2 as for now it has the same model, reuses the detonator of the type 1 :

I reworked the Kaiten model, flipping back surfaces where needed :

flipped a few tiny surfaces, not that anyone will look that close in game ;) :

this sums it up for now, will upload an updated version now.

Skwasjer,

keltos
Honestly, I don't, I didn't see that white/bright bottom when I tested it. I'll have a look at your release later today...

[keltos01]

reflection from the sandy bottom maybe ?

keltos

[keltos01]

New version uploaded, includes a new texture, I didn't like the tower on the first version, now the tip of the periscope is dark like in RL :

[tater]

keltos01,

I have an idea for you.

On the variants of subs capable of carrying the kaiten, why not add some aft tubes to carry them? Is it possible to have them of such a size that they can ONLY carry the kaiten? This would allow any proper forward normal load carried, as well as X kaiten. The fact it faces aft is not a huge problem due to the way they'd likely be employed anyway...

Just an idea.

[keltos01]

we'll dig into that Tater !

[keltos01]

it seems to work this time !

There was one torpedo type that I overlooked at first, thinking it wasn't used much in WWII, I was wrong :oops:

Type 89 torpedo

53.3 cm (21") Type 89 (1929)
.
Ship Class Used On Submarines

Date Of Design 1929

Date In Service 1931

Weight 3,677 lbs. (1,668 kg) Overall Length 282 in (7.163 m)

Explosive Charge 661 lbs. (300 kg) Type 91

Power / Range / Speed

N/A / 6,000 yards (5,500 m) / 45 knots
N/A / 6,550 yards (6,000 m) / 43 knots
N/A / 10,900 yards (10,000 m) / 35 knots

Propulsion Kerosene-air wet-heater

Notes: Widely used in the first half of World War II. Used a two-cylinder double-acting engine of the Whitehead pattern.

On January 11, 1942, 500miles southwest of Oahu, I-6 sighted and hit Uss Saratoga (CV-3) with a type 89 torpedo. the resulting dammage put the carier out of the war for six months.

I also rechecked all torpedoes range/speed/explosive power, I removed the magnetic detonator from the type 89, the early type 92 and both Kaitens.

This mod includes the Kaiten fix (Torpedocausticsfix34.rar (http://files.filefront.com/Torpedocausticsfix34rar/;12504222;/fileinfo.html)).

The torpedoes descriptions have been revised as well and all date at which they are available have been set according to RL data.

hmmm... Nice.. Can you 'drive' one of those Kaitens, or does it run off like a normal torpedo ?
:cool:

I found the fix the RFB team made for the german torpedoes regarding the dud chance/angle of impact and the fact that it was reversed ingame !

I implemented it for the IJN torpedo mod version 3.7 as I thought it was a needed improvement.

Keltos

version 3.7 download link :

soon - checking bugs -

[keltos01]

After some testing I revised the data I took from the RFB team's work on the german torpedo whiskers problem.

Japanese torpedoes were thouroughly tested prior to WWII with live ammo.

I now set the dud chances to :
1-21 ° at 1.0 %
21-50 ° at 10 %
50-90 ° at 85 % -copied from Carotio - leaving the odd chance for one to actually explode.

I made new 3d models for the torpedoes as they copied the italian pointed torpedo head, which in turn gave a 2 knots power boost.

The hit power has been corrected, and is now slightly less than before but more accurate.
