We could always send for a Japanese phone book.

Keltos:
I played with your sub some today, you are really doing a great job. I am trying to learn how to do it and it is very confusing!! You have my respect. If I had a 3D program I would model a bottle of champaign to christen it with, but the damage nodes probably wouldn't work and it wouldn't break.

Why don't true japanese? Many people use U-boat voice packs in german and they don't understand neitber. It's all about atmosphear, remember the info is written on the screen too.

There is a silent hunter released in Japan?

Zaza, who gave me the blueprints and a ton of intel on the Jyunsen B might be able to help us here as he is from Hokkaido, Japan

I think I got the torpedo doors working (filling the hole in the hull) for the port side, now to the starboard side, then the torpedo tube caps.

I am .

But it is almost 65years ago.
I can understand what they saing.
But it speaking is very oldway.
Hard to know militally command what they saing.


Acturelly There is SH2 in Japanese edittion.That is wired but Jpanese voice.

[keltos01]

hitman where did you find that goodie 1946 intel ? is there anymore? about the subs themselves ? I figured they must've disected them before they scuttled them all in japan, pictures and all, maybe at the library of congress (a bit far from here)

We'll be getting there ! I saw schematics of the japanese TDC maybe someone could mod that ?

[GerritJ9]

Have 118 surnames now, more than enough for a Jyunsen crew.... but not for a Sen-Toku as these carried a crew of 144!!!!! More searching to do, but fortunately I also have quite a number of Motocourse annuals which will undoubtedly be helpful. Also have over 50 first names so I'm getting there.
My "most recent" copy of Jane's Fighting Ships (1924) lists the Japanese names for the officer ranks and branches of service, but not the petty officers and ratings. Does anybody have a list of Japanese equivalents for USN, RN or KM p/o and lower ranks?

[Takao]

@ GerritJ9,
This should help your list along. A listing of most, if not all, Japanese submarine commanders. Note the list is in the Japanese tradition: Last name, First name
http://users.bigpond.net.au/ijnsubsi...ders_index.htm

@ keltos01,
I have found some drawingings of the submarine tube doors, I believe from I-9. Found on pg. 39, in a Tamiya News supplement named "Random Japanese Warship Details"(don't know the volume# as I can't read Japanese). I will post it as soon as I am able to coax my scanner into working properly.

@ all,
this gives you a good idea of the I-400 class, I-14 class, a midget submarine. It is from the US Technical Mission to Japan reports. The photos are poor quality, but should be able to provide some reference to the interior of Japanese submarines.

*Please note that it is a large PDF file. I found it easier to download(right click the link & select "Save Link As..." from the drop down box)and then read, rather than reading as it loads.

[keltos01]

thanks Takao,
wouldn't you happen to have the same kind of intel about subs ? where did the data come from ?

[keltos01]

I can't get around moving the tower in this mod, worked fien with the type 9 though, the mod is available for download if anyone care to help me with this, also with the doors that would be a relief

I challenge anyone to find a group of 144 men, both military and silly villian where any didn't have the same surname. CL

I d/l your boats, look good!! But I installed and show a "Jyunsen B" and a "Type Jyunsen B" and neither one has a conning tower on it. Are they both the same hull?

Peabody

[keltos01]

same hull and tower, the difference is that the one based on the typ 18 has six tubes like the real Jyunsen B, the other one based on the typ 9 has two aft and only four tubes front, which makes it more of a Kaidai type sub. When you start a campaign, penang only, you should see Jyunsen type A modified (typ 9) and Jyunsen B (typ 18) as the possible subs. the former should work ok, the latter has a tower emplacement problem. Neither has any tube doors yet as I can't seem to find any good data, here is the only pic I found so far :


@ Takao : did you manage to scan the picts of the I 9 ? otherwise if you have a digital camera take a (few) pic of it (high res please) and put it up for download, I'm also interrested in details topside.

[miner1436]

Here is a good pic of the forward tubes.

[keltos01]

so like I thought they didn't have proper torpedo doors and caps, just a mix of the two, some kind of torpedo caps type doors, I'll try and model those

btw where does that model come from ? it looks big !

[miner1436]

That model? I found it on google.
