All the more reason to make a Japanese campaign. Every time we simmers jump into a submarine we embark on our own fictional adventure, albeit with historical elements. Of course, if we get the chance to be Japanese submariners, I'm sure the tension level will be high, knowing what our missions may be (most often, rather dangerous).

I've posted this before, as I recommend it as a worthwhile resource for developing Japanese sub strategies:

"The Japanese Submarine Force and World War II" Carl Boyd and Akihiko Yoshida
ISBN: 1-55750-015-0 $18.95

There are a number of good maps showing IJN sub dispositions during various campaigns, tables with IJN sinking or Maritime vessels and descriptions of various spec ops missions.

Cheers.

I have that book and yes it helps us building the campaign, but it'll take some time if we wanna use all the info it gives.. I read it a couple of times already !

[keltos01]

getting there, I'm not sure of the scale (don't know how to measure exactly in 3ds...) the texture is the same as the one ingame, here it comes :





Peabody I'll need the .dat from the campaign to insert that 3d model won't I ???

Is that the stock map in UBM? (I dont have it yet) It looks good.

Suggestion: some samurai swords would be nice somewhere in the room.

EDIT: Nevermind.

... and a picture of the Emperor! No Japanese military office would be without it!

That goes without saying.

Yes, it is the stock map, but we are not using it since the campaign in not in the India ocean. I agree though it does look good.

Thought of Samurai swords, but at the moment not top of the list. (long list)

This was a test picture for putting the Jyunsen B on the desk instead of the sub that was there. Making a little smaller and have to do some work on the texture. Keltos did the sub shrinking. (I think he got it wet and when it dried it shrunk.)

I didn't even think of the Emporer, I put Yamamoto in the photo, but it is so dark, I have to lighten it.

Thanks for the ideas.

decreased her size to 80% of that of my last post, remade the dds, here she is :




and viewed through S3D, I moved a few things to make some room for the Jyunsen B desk model

version 1.1 Done I think, the nice textures only show when you mouse over though ????

[vanjast]

The German and Japanese flags together in the corner will add a nice touch.

[keltos01]

Peabody already replaced it with a Japanese flag. look at the first picture in the first post.

I just scaled down the 3d model of the Jyunsen B to replace the german model sitting on desk.

We have some troubles with the textures/mouse over with that screen, I used the stock version of the room to test the desk submarine.

And I like the new map made by Peabody.
