[WIP] playable IJN Kaichu type submarine
 

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...00px-RO-33.jpg
This boat will be stand alone and is based on the Typ II by Mikhayl which, although smaller, is very similar in shape (TATER).
It will then only have 3 fore torpedo tubes.

The Kaichu type submarines were double-hulled medium sized submarines of the imperial ,japanese navy duringworld war II. They were derived from the Kaigun-shiki Tyuugata ( Kaigun-shiki Tyuugata?) submarine (KT).
Several variants existed. From 1934 to 1944, the K6 type (RO-33 Class) and the K7 type (Sentyuu, RO-35 Class) were built. They were equipped with a 3.25 inch (80 mm) gun and four 53 cm torpedo tubes for ten Type 95Long Lance torpedoes.
Most of these submarines were destroyed in combat, suffering from Allied ASW measures, and only RO-50 survived the war.

I just finished making it stand-alone, will test it later. In Mikhayl's tutorial there's a piece missing though : how to add the ship to the flotilla, career start and missions.

Looks nice, how is it in game?

when will it be ready?

Kaichu
 

It has only three tubes (based on Mikhayl's typ II) but a whole new skinjob, is stand alone, and I need to give it a Bigger gun (for Xantro ;)).

It uses my IJN torpedo mod, so if you can't have a lot of them, take the big ones !

It can cruise 5000 nm at 16 kts surfaced, 93 at 4 kts submerged, max speed 19.6 kts !

DO NOT YET USE WITH JYUNSEN B - I'll release a mod including both later on, and hopefully a NS_Ko_Hyoteki as I've been thinking about it for a while now..

torpedo load
 

thanks Mikhayl, found it here :
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...=136244&page=2

so I modified the NSS_Kaichu.upcge :

[...]
[UserPlayerUnit 1.Compartment 4.Bunker 1] ; Forward Torpedo Room
ID=BowTorpedoRoom
Capacity=10 [...]

not 2 anymore, now we can play ;)
will upload the new version tonight, and also just the modified file.

I also moved the aa gun aft and put a 105 mm gun upfront.
K

more torpedoes
 

I increased the torpedo load in the forward torpedo room from 2 to 10.

NSS_Kaichu.upcge
place in data\submarine\NSS_Kaichu\
it will replace the older upcge file and increase your torpedo load from 2 to 10.

Big Gun
 

There !
I gave her the Sen Toku's 3 inch deck gun to replace the AA gun in front of the tower, even got two real jap sailors manning it as a bonus :D and moved the AA aft of the tower. That and her 13 torpedoes total, a range of 5000 nm and a max speed of 19.6 kts, she packs quite a wallop !
