Strange Sub in FOTRS

otto69 · 02-25-09, 04:59 PM

I was on patrol in the Celebes Sea in 1942. Sound picked up a war ship. I closed within sighting distance and found a Jap Sub. However, this one had a sea plane on the forward deck, three large cannons, 1 forward, 2 aft. There is a large conning tower and it looks aws if the pressure hull sits on top of the ship. I surfaced to within 5500 ft. to attack with guns. This sub proceeded to pound the living tar out of me. I went to crash dive as I could not compete with this subs guns . I cannot find this vessel in the Museum. Any thoughts.

According to the description it must be the Sen Toku. It is in the stock game, but only for placing at dock. It doesn't do anything only sits there.

Miner made one AI so it would move around a while ago.

The stock Sen Toku has a flak gun on the front of the tower, two triple 25mm dual purpose guns behind the bridge on the upper deck, and a deckgun on the lower deck. I am not sure what is on the FOTRS sub.

I can take the pic if I can find the sub. However, how do I attach it to my post?

I ran in to two of these on a patrol and sank one while damaging the other, they take a good two torps to sink which was a surprise to me, i do believe it is the sen toku class will need to check my log

Dude that rocks. You can put it in the museum but only submerged, and the came in the museum doesn't let you get all that close to the units in some cases.

Perhaps you could show where on the map you found it. I want a crack at this sucker.

I'm looking forward to commanding this sucker!

How do you add units to the museum? I would like to know.

Starforce2 · 02-26-09, 08:51 PM

well, I can't add them to the museum but I can reactivate some of the ones that are deactivated in one of the text files. Sen toku was in 1.4, deactivated in 1.5 museum. So I started pokeing and put a ; infront of the lines for the sen toku and it worked.

You can do the same with the dutchman. It's listered under netherlands the folder in data is "cruiser" I think.

I just ran into her off the coast of Honshu, she was doing 12kts surfaced heading Southeast. Puts

Starforce2 · 02-26-09, 10:33 PM

The sub or the dutchman?

Ivan Putski · 02-26-09, 10:59 PM

The sub, while searching for merchants. Puts

The plane on the catapult is wrong (but we knew that...).

They had 3 Aichi M6A1 Seiran planes on board.

Quote:

They were able to carry three Aichi M6A Seiran aircraft, each carrying an 800 kilogram (1,764 lb) bomb 650 miles (1000 km) at 295 miles per hour (474 km/h). The existence of the Seiran was unknown to Allied intelligence. The wings of the Seiran folded back, the horizontal stabilizers folded down, and the top of the vertical stabilizer folded over so the overall forward profile of the aircraft was within the diameter of its propeller. When prepared for flight, they had a wing span of 40 feet (12 m) and a length of 38 feet (11.6 m). A crew of four could prepare and get all three airborne in 45 minutes

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-400_class_submarine

So for the sake of accuracy someone should remove the airplane or replace it with the Seiran.

and remove that flight of stairs to the side of it !
