Fantastic armament...:o

That would completely substitute torpedoes for unarmed merchants attacks; a good deal!

Is that a stereoscopic rangefinder I see in the rear side of the bridge? Interesting :up:

all guns are ready !


@ hitman : yes indeed it is ! maybe we could find a way to animate it ? raise it when using the Deck Gun maybe ?

I wonder what they were thinking projecting a sub with a stereoscopic rangefinder... :doh:

It doesn't raise, it either is permanently fixed to the pedestal or placed there by the crew once surfaced. You could however link it to the UZO camera, because it works based on a similar principle (Though you don't need to input mast height or such, and the split images are horizontally displayed). But the UZO is the closest thing you'll get in SH4 to how a stereoscopic rangefinder works.

In first pic seems that AA guns were "retractable" in certain classes!:arrgh!:

Only on the late war Sen Taka class electric boats. Their streamlined hulls made for very good underwater performance too. They were intensively studied by the US after the war.

Thanks Tater ! again ;)

I noticed too, in the recent addition to my sub library (thanks to Rubenandthejets) that the Kaiten model I made was actually a type II and not a type I kaiten.

This will be fixed when I get the time, untill then both Kaiten will share the same 3D model.

If you ever find detailed blueprints such as these of the 5.5 inch deck gun, I'm more than interrested since I made my model from photographs only.
