Anything to help the Kaiten man!
PS For the campaign: Hachijo jima, in the Izu group about 300km south of Tokyo Bay, was full of Kaiten and raring to from mid 44. The main Kaiten training base at Kure (south of Hiroshima) was alos loaded up and raring to go. Unfortunately for the Japanese, the Shinano was transfering a hold full of Kaiten when she was sunk, otherwise several ports in southern Kyushu would have been similarly armed.
PPS Any chance of Tokko surface craft? Suicidal motor boats filled with explosives?

fired from a sub ????
it would mean : a 3D model of such a craft, replacing a torpedo model with it, setting depth to 0, but would be unrealistic wouldn't it be ?
more of a shore battery shell being transformed into a suicide craft, but anyways, this is the mines thread...
post it on the kaiten thread then.
and welcome to subsim !
keltos
ps
my list to Santa - san :
any detailed blueprints (KRS minelaying sub - type C1, C2 submarine, Kaidai...) more than welcome.
good pictures of said subs for the 3D models
