Playable IJN Kaidai 3b submarine - stand alone -

[keltos01]

IJN Kaidai 3B v 1.6 Stand alone

They were designed to operate with the surface fleet, and were in the end credited with major successes against the US Navy.

The 33 boats of the Kaidai type sank 38 merchants and auxiliary ships totaling 146,948 tons and seriously damaged another eleven ships totaling 57,382 tons in total.


This variant (I-156, I-157, I-158, I-159, I-60) was made up of 5 boats which differed in the shape of their bow and conning towers from the Kaidai 3A.

Armament :

8 × TT 533mm (6 bow +2 aft, 16 torpedoes)
1 × 127mm (-/50)

Ranges :

10,000 nm @ 10 knots surfaced
Speed surfaced 20 knots
Speed submerged 8 knots

max diving depth :

60 m / 180 feet


- new 3d model for both the hull and tower
- new rudder 3d model
- 8 torpedo tubes

- new occlusion map
- new bump map

includes Takao's name and rank mod

includes IJN torpedo mod version 3.4

includes Peabody's carrier attack mission and convoy attack mission



known issues :

the 8 tubes do work, but there are only 6 selection lights on the peri and uzo views for now, all those are for the fore tubes.

to select the aft tubes (VII and VIII) either switch tubes using "W", or use the selection knob of the attack map (it shows all tubes I-VIII) or go to the torpedo loadout and select the tube.

It is stand alone and doesn't replace the german boats, it adds a good IJN submarine !

thanks to Peabody for all the help and the glitches fixes

Enjoy !

verify that you have no other boat installed : in the updatage\UPCUnitsData you'll find the UnitParts3Kaidai3b file replace the 3 with the next number after your other installed subs.

since there are normally only 2 subs (XVIII and IXD2) mine is number 3.

hope this helps

How about AI variant for campaign?

Edit: Button depression fixed, found a 0 where it didn't belong
Both rear tubes fire with the lights, both tubes are Aft I and Aft II, they say "Firing tube 7,sir" and "Firing tube 8,sir". And they actually come out of the rear tubes:o.

Needs some more work because V and VI are not rear tubes. Trying for a solution that won't mess up the other Japanese subs. But for now it is workable.

Just finished the UZO section with 8 tubes.

I down loaded this submarine... Thank you. I think it will be cool to set up some missions with. In the thread, there is mentioned of other playable IJN submarines, but I can not find these other mentioned subs. Any help or suggestions how to search would be great. Thank you
