hello, gents. I got pretty excited for finding a Japanese sub in my American campaign but I wasn't expecting to find one like this.
Is this how they're supposed to look like?

Hmmm. Looks like a Type IX U-Boat hull to me. Maybe a kit-bash of an existing model to play the part of a Japanese sub? And where's the conning tower? :hmmm:

That's what I'm wondering.
Still, I enjoyed torpedoing it :cool:

Looks like it got Domanated, whatever it was.

What does your mission log say it was?

I found another one in the same patrol and managed to sink it as well! What are the odds?

The 1st one detected me because I was trying to engage it with my deck gun. But once I saw the rate of fire of their deck gun I made a quick dive, went a little closer and fired a torpedo.
The 2nd one I just destroyed it undetected with a torpedo as well.

What mods do you use?
TMO2.5
RSRDC 502+patch
Pacific environment
Convoy routes TMO+RSRDC
Webster's Better air patrols
Torpedo 25% more powerful
In that order

The conning tower won't arrive until Tuesday.

I would scrap PE, use the env included in TMO that works with the sensors. You're missing the tower and I know it shows in TMO, so something is wrong.

If it was shipped FedEx? The neighbors are wondering 'WTH is this thing?'

IT is not that big besides the Japanese had the largest submarine of WW 2
Sen Toku I-400 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBx2Bu-jnOs)
It was the largest submarine up until the time of the 60's when the Ballistic Missile submarines were built.

It dwarfs the Baleo Class by almost an extra 100 feet in length.

The first and only time I ever got a "Tench" class sub, it looked just like this.
No Conning tower at all.
Wartime rationing has gone a bit too far :hmm2:

Try slipping into a British port, and see this waiting for you:

I'm guess'n that it's suppose to be a I-361 cargo sub. Least that's kind'a what it looks like. :hmmm:
