The
B1 Type submarine (also known as the
I-15 series) were the most numerous submarine class of the
Imperial Japanese Navy during
World War II. In total 20 were made, starting with
I-15, which gave the series their alternative name.
These submarines were fast, had a very long range, and carried a single seaplane, located in a hangar in front of the conning tower, and launched by a catapult. Late in the war, some of the submarines had their aircraft hangar removed, to replace it with a 14 cm gun. In 1944, I-36 and I-37 were modified so that they could carry four
Kaiten kamikaze manned torpedoes, with I-36 later being further modified to carry six.
cheers to all
was in fact a rod antenna sticking out ! (node 130 and the loop antenna node 123, set them to an altitude of -0,05 and -0,1.)
looks okay now,

It includes the IJN torpedo mod beta 2.1

I changed the file name to : Jyunsen B beta 3 as it has now reached a truly playable stage :p. Thanks to all who helped so far, especially to Xantrokeles, and Nautilus42 who designed the original conning.
To do :
get a crew on deck.
change the guns to japanese ones
get two more tubes upfront and lose the two at the rear.
change to a more realistic number of torpedoes (19)
do a better texture, especially the conning tower
change the names of the crew to japanese names (ongoing)
change the dials to japanese (when I'll get pictures of them.. funny how the navy tore apart those subs in 45 and so few pictures of the inside are available..)
change the faces of the deckcrew to japanese ones
match the radar spec to japanese ones (they had a rotating radar similar to the american I heard)
get the sub to launch its airplane from the map as if it was an airbase
WAIT fo Skwasjer to implement the 3d import option in S3D, then we'll get a real Jyunsen B 3D model, and will be able to model all classes of Jap subs
that's it so far,
Enjoy this version !
