Identified as Japanese Sub - and was listed at 1800 tons in the log.

700 yards is correct, yes.

I wonder what kind of Japanese sub that is, AFAIK the only I-Boats in the game are the Ko-hyoteki and the I-400, Both of which are too small/big for 1,800 tons

Or is it the Jyunsen B?

I've been looking trying to find the class but there is not much information on the web. Didn't list a class in the log either, nothing in the recognition manual of course.


Captains Log Entry:

February 15,1942 Long 117 05' E. Lat 7 36' N.
Ship Sunk! AIJapSub 1800 Tons

Here are a couple of better views if anybody knows for sure.

At first I thought it was one of keltos01's early attempts at making a playable Japanese Jyunsen B submarine. However, Ducimus answers the question in this thread.

It is a modified conning tower on a Type9 hull done by Natilus42. While resembling some of the Japanese conning towers, it does not match any Japanese I-boat conning tower. Closest matches would be I-61, I-65, or I-68; which are Kaidai Type 4, type 5, and Type 6A respectively.
