More crew. Would be awsome, but only if you have the spare time. In my original plan was two crew members for each main gun..

6. Rank and names. Here i have a problem. I know eher i got the japanese crew names from (Keltos1 sub mod) but the ranks i dont recollect. Im pretty sure they came with the ship. When i get to my laptop i can answer that one, but im sure it was names by file, ranks build into ship

Been looking abit more into the firecontrol UZO, can deffently make it work, only problem is how to lock without shoot with guns....

Next darn problem is to locate that torpedo fire control in the files. I can find the yank one...but not the German one....have template ready...i can atleast change the gfx of it before relocating buttons (that will be a pain timewise)

So far everything concerning the ship look doable, with your help, the pointers i get from others are making this alot easyer. I never even had the hope you would "join" in on the fun....its just awsome...

NOTE!

Also, if you decide set it up properly the Furutaka had 8 torpedo tubes, two groups of 4 torpedoes each. This was standard on many ships, the torpedoes tubes were in groups of 4. I only did two as a test.

The above i looked at for another project some time ago. My idea (never realy got to it) was to use AFT tubes, flip them 180 relocate them to the fron and add them as second group. That way you could have two groups of 4 with two controls. Limitation was that you could obly fire salvo of 4 not salvo of 8....dont think i have any file leftovers on that one...but that was my idea on how to do it....

Beer and mod time...cheers

Main battery sounds better, more men is good.

Ranks and name are not in the ship MOD. I do have the necessary files, the same ones as Keltos has (make by Takao, not the ship a member of this forum, but I have not seen him in a while.)

I created 2 extra tubes in the Menu1024_768.ini, the German boats only had 6. USA subs had more.

I deleted the Fat and Lut buttons, but the Type 93 Long Lance is not one of them so that part does not affect the ship.

You may find what you need for torpedos in the Menu1024_768 in section [G3B I156] possibly, just looked quickly.
