Doe's it show in the id book......Obvious, I love all miner's ship, just concern playin TMORSRD. Seem's some work and some don't. What' ships are you guys using beside this that works with the above.

I am not sure about that , never looked it up.:oops:

I have allmost all of Miner's ships added on, and I run across them all that I know of, but I guess if you installed them and created a mission, then you would know if they will show. but again I just wait and encounter them by chance myself.

Don't worry guys, im working on the ship mod pack, it will include several new ships and will modify the old ones and add them into the recognition manual, then ill see if Lurker has any plans for them.:up:

is it right that in reco manual I can see the same picture for Akitsu escort carrier and for this new merchant?

I use RFB 1.52 and RSRD V421 mod

What mods do you play and do you see them in the ID book?

...Look's like miner is gonna try to get em into RSRD and I'm sure Lurker will add them.

I might be the only one but I have problem with this particular ship. Don't take me wrong I am in no way criticizing your mod, I actually believe that SH4 is lacking large tonnage ships.
Here is my problem: whenever I try to gun one of these ships on the surface and after it sinks, I try to dive to periscope depth and my damage (it's usually aft or bow torpedo room) gets 100% damage and my sub sinks.

I tried to uninstall it and the problem disappeared....

Running mostly stock 1.5 with some minor (graphic) mods.

Any ideas?

Not sure about that, never happened to me before, when I re-install SHIV I will look into it more.

The japanese merchant marine didn't have any large MFMs that look like this (according to ONI-208Jrev), but she's sure pretty.

Tater, you are not entirely correct, they did operate some large merchants.Tonan Maru class comes to mind, they were nearly 20,000 tons i believe.

Sink it all the time, never had that problem, TMO1.7 & RSRD.

Necro-bump, I know, but I am looking at merchant ships right now...

It's not the size, its the SHAPE.

The real Heian M. is a passenger that is almost a split, and also has kingposts. This mod actually bears a closer resemblance to Saipan M. (5533 t.) except if she's really almost 500' long.

Also, she (and her sister) was not a freighter, she was an Auxiliary Submarine Depot Ship.

Hi Tater,

The model bears a similarity to the Nigitsu Maru, so when I've dropped it in to my install, that's what I've named it as.

AFAIK, the Akitsu and Nigitsu Maru's were very similar, if not sisters.

A Japanese guy called Motoyuki Iwashige's been building up a collection of WW2 merchant ships in model form on his site:

http://ww6.enjoy.ne.jp/~iwashige/history.htm

I think you've found it already, if remember rightly, but I thought I'd post a link into it.

There's also a thread over at the ModelWarships.com forum as well:

http://www.shipmodels.info/mws_forum...p?f=51&t=39282

It's up to 22 pages and still going!:o

There's also this page I found as well:

http://www.aeronautic.dk/MarineArtgallery-T-Yuki.htm

There's a selection of paintings of merchant vessels about half way down, including the Akitsu and Nigitsu Maru's.

Hope that helps!

Yeah, Nigitsu is perhaps a better match except that the superstructure on this model is really weird. VIrtually all jap ships I have seen have the bridge 1 deck above the rest (as Nigitsu shows). That monolithic box looks totally "wrong" to me and make her stand out.

Yeah, I know all those sites. I had bookmarked that art site, but forgot about it long ago---that link rocks!

Glad to be of service!:03:

Looks great miner! Any chance we could get into the forum download section here. FF and I just don't seem to shake hands but I'll keep trying...SK

edit...Ah!...got it on the 5th try, can't figure them out sometimes...SK

edit2...Do I need to be "at the desk" to inject this?
