Hello, looking for IJN subsims

komi · 12-30-17, 10:28 AM

Thank you for the speedy welcomes, you folks are certainly on top of things here.

Thanks for your suggestion Onkel Neal, I have heard of that game, but I would prefer if I could actually play as the IJN rather than blasting them out of the water :P

Haha, yeah, I understand. There are a lot of things that an IJN submarine game would bring to the table that are different than the U-boat or fleet boat sims, such as Long Lance torpedoes, long shipping lanes for the Allies, landing zones, and radio DFing and codes. I hope some day to see a Japanese subsim.... it would be quite interesting.

Ahhhh, but there ~IS~ a Silent Hunter that can do the IJN, and that just happens to be "Silent Hunter: Wolves of the Pacific", aka SH4, but only if you do the v1.5 with Uboats, or better still, the Gold Editions. I direct thee to Amazon dot com (via the SubSim Shopping linkie):

Silent Hunter: Wolves of the Pacific Gold Edition

Do NOT install it in the default "C:\Program Files (x86) \ Ubisoft..." directlory, but rather edit that line, and make it either a different drive altogether, or at least get rid of the "Program Files (x86)" portion of the path. Windows is very protective of its system, and will not allow you to mod the game in that Program Files directory. Anyway, after you get it installed, and have JSGME (JoneSoft Generic Mod Enabler (I'm not sure if that's v2.6 or not) and 7Zip ready to go, then go find the keltos01 JyunsenB (includes JyunsenB, AM Type, Kaidai and Kaichu) (Release Thread) and the Sen Toku, downloads.

Peabody started work on a campaign, which did not get finished, but I've taken to working on it. With all of the current happenings in the FotRSU mod, I have had to put CMN on the back burner for a few weeks again, but still do experimental missions in it (for future use in it and FotRSU). Cybermat47 took some of the files and made a quick "campaign" for the first keltos01 mod above. It is mostly the German Campaign, but you're driving an IJN boat. Zuikaku1944 was also working on some files, but I don't know as he ever uploaded those for public use, but they will be in the Climb Mount Niitaka mod when it comes out. The most difficult part of making a Japanese campaign is the fact that they thought of war just a little differently than the Westerners, besides the fact that they had some innovations on their submarines that are not allowed for in the Silent Hunter series game engine, like launching planes and / or Daihatsu barges and / or Kaiten from your submarine... so we'll definitely be missing some of the "action" of a Japanese submarine, but hopefully, not all of it. Just remember, Peabody has quite a lot going on in real life and isn't able to join us here very often, and keltos01 is also busy with real life, but I think he enjoys his job just a little too much for sanity's sake (

), so you don't "see" a whole lot of activity going on with the mod...

Thanks for that information propbeanie! Unfortunately I don't know how to do the kind of editing you described in the emulation I use for Windows games on my Mac, but at least I can wish youse best of luck with the future of your mod!

Also thanks Aktungbby and THEBERBSTER for your welcomes!

There is a sub game where you can play with a japanese sub: Cold Waters with the mod "More subs and more", but it's a sub sim in modern times, not a WWII sub game.

The subs you could play there are the SS Yushio and SS Oyashio. In the current version of CW (v.1.09) they have added a Chineese Campaign so using this mod would make sense I think.

Interesting, thanks for pointing that out.
