Nihon Kaigun v1.3a_FotRSU
https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/pic...ictureid=12635
Nihon Kaigun adds more IJN warships to FotRSU, however these models are NOT new, they are only clones of their namesakes already in the mod. The Warships included were active at the attack of Pearl harbor, either directly or covering other campaigns. Normal disclaimers apply, these units may only have a passing resemblance to the ship it’s named after, it may also have a rivet missing or mast in the wrong place. I hope you enjoy the new targets, these include units like BB, CA, CL, NVC, NCVE and more. Installation instructions can be found in the following folder - Documentation > Nihon Kaigun > Install Guide Readme file can be found in the following folder - Documentation > Nihon Kaigun > Readme Please report any issues... ================================ This is an official add-on for 100_FalloftheRisingSun_Ultimate v1.8 And is fully compatible with Nippon Maru v1.9b Download Link - Nihon Kaigun v1.3a_FotRSU Latest Updates includes: FotRSU\data\Sea\NBB_Musashi\NBB_Musashi.eqp = Date errors fixed FotRSU\data\Sea\NBB_Yamato\NBB_Yamato.eqp = Date errors fixed FotRSU\data\Sea\NCA_Chikuma\NCA_Chikuma.eqp = Date errors fixed FotRSU\data\Sea\NCA_Kumano\NCA_Kumano.eqp = Date errors fixed FotRSU\data\Sea\NCA_Suzuya\NCA_Suzuya.eqp = Date errors fixed FotRSU\data\Sea\NCA_Tone\NCA_Tone.eqp = Date errors fixed This version also includes the following mods: - MODS > Combined Roster - Enables Nihon Kaigun + Nippon Maru to be installed together with shared rosters. - MODS > 451a_TMOstyle_NavMapDots for Nihon Kaigun = adds TMO styled NavMapDots for shipping. |
Mod Background
on 26 November, 1941, the Combined Fleet and its Kidō Butai (also known as the Carrier Striking Task Force) set sail from Hittokapu Bay in Japan’s Kurile Islands under the overall command of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. He had personally selected the battleship Nagato as his flagship, the proud ship to lead the mightiest naval force ever to steam the Pacific Ocean.
Nagato had a bold look that Yamamoto appreciated, and she rode well as she sliced the waves at her best speed of twenty-six knots. She and her sister ship Mutsu had been built as Dreadnaught-class warships of 38,000 tons burden, 708 feet in length and nearly a hundred on the beam. Both had been extensively refitted with a unique seven-legged mast designed to maximize rigidity for range-finding purposes and suitability under shellfire. The unique superstructure recalled the design of a pagoda, and consisted of a thick vertical leg in the center surrounded by six outer legs. The central leg was large enough to accommodate an electric elevator running between the fore-top and main deck that carried the Admiral to his post on the flag bridge. As peace talks continued in Washington, the ships made an undetected transit of the North Pacific to be in position for the contingency of war. Peace was still a possibility. Yamamoto, a graduate of the US Naval War College and Harvard University, was confident that his bold plan to conduct a devastating surprise attack could secure an early advantage in a conflict against the United States. He was a realist, though, and knew that such advantage could not be guaranteed beyond the first year of war. He hoped for peace. It did not come. Talks in Washington broke down. Admiral Yamamoto was directed to carry out his plan. On 2 December, the radio room in Nagato transmitted a message to the commander of the Kido Butai, Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo. The final decision had been made in Tokyo. It was to be war. Yamamoto directed Nagato’s radio room to send a message to the carrier striking force. The large vacuum tubes glowed orange with the power of the transmitter: “NIITAKA-YAMA NOBORE 12 08" "Climb Mount Niitaka, 1208" Admiral looked at the message from Yamamoto and looked at his chief of staff: “Hostilities will begin on December 7th, exactly as scheduled.” By the morning of December 7, from a position some 200 miles north of Oahu, six Japanese carriers began to launch the first attack wave. At 0753hrs, strike leader Commander Mitsuo Fuchida sent the signal “Tora! Tora! Tora!” indicating that the “lightning strike” on Pearl Harbor had achieved the element of surprise. A staff officer raced the message from the Nagato’s radio room to the Flag Bridge and handed the message to Admiral Yamamoto. The admiral nodded gravely. Now it has begun. It would be anyone’s guess where and how it might end... Source - http://www.vicsocotra.com/wordpress/2015/12/climb-mount-niitaka |

Re: D/L'ed.. will test it...
Ahoy, s7rikeback... :Kaleun_Cheers:
Just d/l'ed it. Will test it out with My copies of FotRS that I have... both v1.46 & the v1.6x preview I have set up. Will report back on any issues I may come across, if I find any... As always, thanks for your hard work s7ikeback. M. M. :Kaleun_Salute: |
Hi:
I would to know if Nihon Kaigun is compatible with Nippon Maru 1.3 or it is was designed for Nippon Maru 1.2.1. Many thanks! :Kaleun_Cheers: Fitzcarraldo :salute: |
Two separate entities, compatible with each other, neither overwriting any of the other. Good stuff! - and cool pix! :salute:

Re: Question...
Ahoy, s7rikeback... or propbeanie... :Kaleun_Cheers:
I noted in the folder, (after unzipping the zip file) a folder marked 'MODS'... In that folder, is 2 folders.. 1 tagged "Roster FotRS" & the other "Roster Nippon Maru". My query is this... with those folders, do they also get activated, either 1, both.. or not.? All the read me states is using jsgme, activate FotRS-U preview, then Nihon Kaigun (with notation near the top of the page, of compatibility with Nippon Maru... BUT... nothing is mentioned about those 2 folders, at all... that I could see of, unless I flat out missed it when My eyes glazed over from reading all the ship info after the install section... :o :doh: Any rate, any info on that... thanks. :yep: M. M. :Kaleun_Salute: post edit: Additional query... Know that FotRS-U would be activated 1st... after that, would it follow that Nippon Maru, then Nihon Kaigun... would that be correct activate order.. just to be sure... :hmmm: |

Whoops! s7rikeback will most likely be horrified that his "Support" folder with Nihon Kaigun is empty... So the order of assembly is
1. FotRSU#4 is in the MODS folder inside of the Nihon Kaigun mod folders. The idea being that if you are not using Nippon Maru, and only Nihon Kaigun on top of FotRSU, you would then activate the "Roster for FotRSU" after Nihon Kaigun. In other words, the Names.cfg file is NOT installed with the activation of Nihon Kaigun, and the player does have to activate #4 above, in order to have the extra ships identified in the game. Nippon Maru does add a Names.cfg for its set of ships. The one in the "Roster for Nippon_Maru" modlet is for FotRSU, Nippon Maru and Nihon Kaigun combined. We're glad you guys questioned this! :salute: |

Wise ol' bird he was... is times I find Myself missing Him... :yep: Any way... thanks for the fast reply back. :shucks: :yep: :up: Made note of that & will work on that later on after I grab some rack time. M. M. :Kaleun_Salute: |

Whoops! s7rikeback will most likely be horrified that his "Support" folder with Nihon Kaigun is empty... There is the read me... BUT... The reference to Nippon Maru is a bit vague on details in not mentioning what version of Nippon Maru... It does list FotRS-U preview, being activated 1st... then followed by Nihon Kaigun, using jsgme... but, what it does NOT mention of.. was with using Nippon Maru, a suggested activation order... nor, any mention of either of the 2 'Roster' folders inside the 'MODS' folder... nada... so on that, it left a bit of head scratching confusion there.. hence My initial.. inquiry, into the subject. I did miss when I posted that query, of your commenting that either version of Nippon Maru, would be acceptable.. hence why I put the line scratch through that portion... oddly enough, while Fitz, posted His reply while I was doing so... all this time jumping.. is making My brain hurt... :o :haha: :o :doh: Any way... thanks for the clarification with the order to activate all of that, propbeanie... :shucks: :up: And... sorry for My goof on not making all that clearer when I originally posted My query... I kinda rushed it as I was fixing to hit the rack... :oops: & rushed posting it... which, normally.. I try to avoid. :timeout: A 1k apologizes... :yep: M. M. :Kaleun_Salute: |
