just to be sure you know that this is the I-152

also on that I-52 3d model the hull is amazing o.O but the tower seems off to me. to squarish looking.

also the I-52 had 2 deck type99 double mounts AA guns right behind the tower and as far as i know this was the only fullsize japanese sub with AA's mounted on the deck

Are the limber holes on the I-52 correct? I would expect them to be more like the Junsen B class.

Yes indeed but I think there was only one RL picture taken, maybe there are some on the I-52 sub exploration mission

wish I had high resolution pictures of this sub...

i think miner is right about the limber holes. they should go back down

here you can kind of see the curve in the limberholes were it goes back down.

the whole gun splash deflector was never on that class of sub was never completed with a forward deck gun.

heres a better layout (except the bow seems a bit off)

James Dziadulewicz's 3d model is excellent in terms of skill but it suffers from multiple sources...
He must of came across pictures of the I-152 when it was still named the I-52 and mixed features of them both. thats where he whole deckgun and splash guard come from, i see this a lot because most people dont understand the whole IJN renumbering sequence

the Xmas shelling thing was canceled at the last min.
and only on 3 occasions did they bombard the US coast always under orders.
the I-17 an oil field in santa barbara
the I-25 at Ft. steven in oregon
and the I-26 Pt. Estevan light house at puget sound

(srry to the mods for a huge pic)

Hopes and an offer
 

Hi Peabody!

I hope I will receive your extension pack of these Japanese missions. (I hope in a total campaign...)
I can offer all my help. I'm not a programmer, I can't help with software tips or something similar... I'm just a user. But I can help with historical details, because I am a modeler and a submarine fanatic. :salute:
My e-mail adress: atiraptor@vipmail.hu

this is the setup on a Jyunsen B, I didn't have good enough a blueprint and legend so I couldn't figure out the rest of the stuff, but IJN subs were based on roughly the same layout
adding a stern torpedo room on some not on others, and of course the two bow rooms for subs with 8 bow tubes (easier to load I guess).

there was an aft quarters and two bow ones, not represented ingame..

so we actually are missing areas that can be damaged and that help with the overal flotation of the boat

there is something on the blueprint aft of the stern quarters, some kind of machinery ?



I'm starting to get that IJN feel !

So it seems the actual US periscope view with the azimuth might be mistaken !!!!

Nice project keltos! (and spellbinding thread )

海軍 未公開部分 - "Unpublished portion of the Navy" - (this google translate firefox extension really works! ;-)

Anyway, I recognize these and the youtube clip from a documentary I saw that described them as from a wartime Japanese propaganda movie. The documentary went on to say that this film was showing the spacious interiors of the mini-subs, the Japanese film version (using models) of the Pearl Harbor attack, and submarine duty, when in reality of course the interiors were much more compact.

would you happen to know the name of the documentary ? thanks for the info btw ! and glad :D you like our thread !
