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).

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:

fix
 
http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/3...oes1hitoc3.jpg


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.

version 3.7 download link :

re revised torpedo .sim
 
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.

torpedo mod version 3.8

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.
