Guess what? That useless antenna is still there. I didn't delete it in case we didn't get this working I wouldn't have to put it back in. In fact I don't even remember what type of antenna it was.:hmm: Senior moment.

Still need to do some tweeks on the periscope height and depth and the snokel height and depth. Do some playing....I mean testing.

A KD 3a Class sub, I-53
1 April 1945:
Returns to Kure. Drydocked for repairs. Fittings for carrying two more kaitens are also added and she is equipped with a snorkel. :





front :





note the snorkel device placed to port on the tower tub.

it also looks as though the sub has a camouflage pattern !

another view of the snorkel :




I think it has to go to the side of the Jyunsen B like on the I-53, port side.

We may have to test that, remember right now it is in a well, it may have to be longer to go on the side.

I just tested version 3.0 I have : the snorkel is there !!! but too low to see till you raise it, here it is raised at full extent (gets submerged by small waves ):




so desintalling and reinstalling that version worked ?

we still need the differentiated radars for the type AM and Jyunsen B before releasing version 3.0 of mod. Also the snorkel should be on the port side of the tub, against the wall. inside or outside I don't know, look at the I-53 picture.
