[WIP] Japanese Campaign - Page 42

I'm goin' down · 12-20-09, 02:57 PM

I did not read through 25 pages of posts. I did not make it that far.

Where is the program download? I did not see it or a link.
Is it a supermod, where I am captain of a Japaneses sub? Or, is there more to it?

Actually it is not done yet. It should have been, we had a good start, but then Real life smacked me right between the eyes full force and I lost most of my spare time to work on it. That combined with the fact we are beginners at this, we just don't have it done. We are working on it and hope to get it out asap. In fact I am working on it as I type this. (I can multitask

).
And we hit a few speed bumps along the way, where things didn't work the way we expected them to and had to spend time figuring them out.

I am not making excuses just letting you know what is going on.

Yes, you will be using Japanese subs in a Japanese Campaign. They are made using uboats, so the interiors will be uboats.

Sorry for the delay, but it was unavoidable.

For what it's worth to you.

From December 18 to 24, 1941, nine Japanese submarines along the U.S. west coast attacked eight American merchants sinking two and damaging two . It was the only time that more than one Japanese submarine patrolled the American coast.

On December 10, the 12 subs placed around Pearl Harbor were informed that an American carrier was heading for the U.S. mainland. Nine subs were ordered to pursue and sink it then take up positions at designated sites and attack American merchant ships. On Christmas Eve the subs were ordered to shell selected U.S. cities and lighthouses. After expending all of their 5.5-inch shells, they were to retire to Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands.

I also have read that as the war progressed, Japanese subs were hindered by the US breaking of their naval codes and a bad habit of shelling the enemy coast at the end of their patrol so they could claim having fired upon enemy soil. These two details allowed the US to intercept the subs on their return course.

I wonder how much havoc the IJN could have caused with the Allied supply lines in the Pacific if they had allowed their subs to launch a dedicated anti-merchant campaign.

it would have been devastating...

they had the best torpedoes and subs with up to 8 fore tubes..

(un)fortunately they never really sank merchants but for the Indian Ocean where they had their share of successes.

By the way - I have question about US merchant shipping at Pacific. I cannot find sources about US convoy system at Pacific. It seems, all merchant traffic between West Coast and Hawaii, between Panama and Fiji, between Fiji and Australia, etc was absolutely unprotected. Only traffic between main bases and battle areas, made by NAVY freighters (AKA, AE, AO ships, etc), was protected by destroyer escorts.

Here is a pre-war maps, which will help (I hope) to create merchant traffic layers for Japanese campaign.

thanks !

IJN type C3 (I-52) submarine WIP

tower :

this tower model is mine but for the X antenna and periscope sheers.

hull is that of JB for the moment.

characteristics all set to that of the C3.

needs AO maps for the tower, and better textures etc..

keltos01 · 12-29-09, 10:19 AM

new C3 tower :

Of course, if we assume that the Japanese would have gone for the merchants in a dedicated way, those convoys would have grown some escorts rather quickly. Thus we could have completely historical convoys, and ones for this alternate universe where the US reacts to the threat.
