[quote=Radio;1210516]To the above poster: Yes, it is fully JSGME compatible.

To the Modders:

I downloaded and tested the v3.9 version and tested it quickly.
First impression: WOW! They should release a Japanese Submarine game instead of Silent Hunter 5, I'm totally in love with those subs!
feedback !!! YES !
As a small help/tribute I wanted to report some smaller issues I saw during the test:

Jyunsen B
-The Battery was empty fast and it took very long to reload it. Could be realistic, though. will verify
-The Conning Tower looked odd (pale) when being submerged (see 3rd pic below) known bug
-The hydrophones could be used when surfaced and at very high speed, they detected ships over large distances. Could be realistic, my apologies if it is.it shouldn't
-Had a weird refuel bug (maybe from stockgame): When refueling at an non-home-base harbour I could not click any buttons on the orderbar. after I saved the game (which took very long) everything was back to normal.
-Couldn't make more tests as my boat suddenly exploded and everyone was dead (unknown cause,maybe mines???)

install the IBDM (I-Boat Damage mod) on top of the Jyunsen B mod :

Kaichu Type 1

-I could load 13 torpedoes, nice
-The deckgun was not usable manually I know and she won't be in the IJN campaign mod "Climb Mount Niitaka" as she has such a short range...

Type AM
-I could not fill the last empty torpedo slot when in the harbor.
-The second deckgun was missing I set one for the sake of it, in RL she had only AA guns, no deck gun.

-The Conning water had the same paleness-glitch like the first sub ^

Kaidai Type 3
-The (possible?) torpedo reserve was not filled by default.will look it up

Jyunsen IM

-same as above, the reserve room was not used by default.will look it up

My favourite boat is the Jyunsen IM, I gonna start a career in it now Mine too !!!
There are so many interesting and exciting things in this mod (new torpedoes, weapons, equipment, Kaiten, etc etc), I felt like a small kid in a toy store

Some random pics:







p.s.: Now after playing the Axis side I realize that I never looked far enough in the west for targets. There are many warships and giant convoys, everything in the other areas are mere breadcrumbs against that

Wait untill you see this mod in the
IJN campaign mod "Climb Mount Niitaka"


those subs will soon have their dedicated campaign, they were designed with it in mind, not the german one although it is also realistic since IJN subs did fight along the germans and italians in the IO out of Penang, Peabody is currently finishing up the Beta of our IJN campaign mod.

Thanks for the feedback
