I made a new damage model for the Jyunsen B sub, it's on my main FF page, just slip in the sub's directory.

IBDM
 

I am polishing up the new I-Boat Damage Model - Jyunsen B damage model, the only areas modified were the spheres and boxes, and I added one new zone copied from Observer's for RFB : the bottom zone, which allows you to sit out a dc attack on the ocean"s floor.

after two attacks :

This means we could also "make touch" on the seafloor to evade escorts or...?

It is what Observer intended, and since I saw numerous reports that it actually was the case in the war, yes you can try and sit it out on the bottom :yep: when there's one that is ;)

after 4 attack :

IBDM JB
 

All the needed zones have been added to the Jyunsen B :

[05-05]
moved the damage boxes for the torpedo tubes to their actual location.
decided to use Observer's zones.cfg so as to be compatible in the future.
ADDED SPHERES TO :
- BACK PLANES
- RUDDER
_ PROPELLER
_ DG
_ FLAG
_ snorkel
_ peri 002
_ peri 002
ADDED BOX TO :
- DG
_ FLAG
_ snorkel
_ peri 002
_ peri 002
_ UZO
_ 139=GHG Hydrophone Receivers

changed armor in zones.cfg :

[DieselEngine1] Armor Level=2.0 ;1.0
[ElectricEngine1] Armor Level=2.0 ;1.0

left the other 2 at Armor Level=1.0 in the hope of not always having all my engines destroyed...

LINKED :

THE COMPRESSOR TO ZONE #57 IN JB.ZON INSTEAD OF -1

THE DG TO TO ZONE #228 5STERN DG INSTEAD OF -1

VERIFiED THAT ALL ITEMS IN THE UPCGE HAVE A ZONE :
-> ADDED :

# 198 Jyunsen_BGunS
#60 Stern Dive Planes Transmission
#118 Rudders Transmission
# 33 Starboard Bow Dive Plane Transmission
#210 Port Bow Dive Plane Transmission



I still have to check my JB file as if recently caused a CTD when trying it out. might be that extra bottom zone, which I'm not sure if it has to be added to any other file than zones.cfg.

Anyways, I will try and use Observer's zones.cfg in the hope of maybe someday being compatible with RFB.

remade the boxes and spheres from scratch, didn't add anything this time around, hope it doesnt ctd

Type C2 submarine (I-47 class - LtCmdr Orita)
 

The work has begun !

Japanese I-47 type C2 submarine (the one from the author of I-boat captain LtCdr Orita)

Length 103.8m pp, 106.95m wl, 109.3m oa
Width 9.1m
Draught 5.35m
Machinery 2-shaft diesel and electoric motor, 11,000bhp surface, 2000shp submerged
Speed 23.5kt surface, 8kt submerged
Armament 8-53cm TT, 1-14cm/40cal gun, 2-25mm AA

I have moved the stern torpedo room to the front and upper side of the sub, as those that had 8 torpedo tubes had two separate and above one another torpedo rooms.

I am directly working on the damage model so as to include it in the 1.3 version of the IBDM. The .sim has already been altered, the model is nearly ready with a new rudder, the conning tower has been modified accordingly.

Gosh I wanted to drive that sub ever since I read LtCmdr Orita's book "I-Boat Captain" !

had to redo it since I got ctd, doing it stand alone first, then I'll add it to the JB mod with the others.

Looks great! It's an impression of mine, or you've put on new textures ??

no, it's the kaidai 3b textures, and since the sub is bigger (109 m) but mostly longer they don't show right, and I need to fix the hull/tower junction too, but I like it, a good start, but as always my first version ctd.. too many changes at once I did..

so I used the stand alone KD3b and replaced the model, now I have to rechange the rudder, add the kaiten, move the aft tubes to the front, change the boxes etc...

I haven't heard from Peabody in a few day, I'm getting worried... :(

keltos

I like the new Hover gun.:DL

had (again) to do it all over

I had ctds with the first version as always... it seems modding is like making crepes : I always undercook the first one..

anyways, here it is in s3d, with the Kaiten on deck and their own textures. And of course, the Hover Gun ;)

I still need to move the tubes etc..
