[WIP] Japanese Campaign

[keltos01]

Hi!

We are now at version 3.7 released, and version IJN Jyunsen B mod v 3.9.6 (non released) for the testers.

Just a quick note to let you know that all of our subs (14 of them) are now playable in campaign and single missions. We are still debating whether or not to include the Ko Hyoteki, this unit would then only be available for single missions (Pearl Harbor, Diego Suarez, Guadalcanal ..)

In mod subs are :

A1
AM
C3
JB
JB2
JB3
C2
J1M
Kaichu (not to be in the campaign)
Kaidai 3a
Kaidai 3b
Kaidai 4
Sen Taka
Sen Toku (WIP)

Keltos, do you have plan to include Kaichu 6 to the campaign?
I think it will be very interesting

not for now, we are polishing up the existing subs, and it had a short range didn't it ? 5000 miles at 16 knots.

Yes you are right. But it were the best medium displacement boats of the Imperial Japanese Navy and they had very rich military life. I think it would be very interestingly for the campaign.

PS. Kaichu 5 (RO-33, RO-34) had 8000 miles at 12 knots and Kaichu 6 (RO-35 and following) had 5000 miles at 16 knots

do you have a 3d model of one ?

then yes 8000 miles at 12 knots would be acceptable

No of course (* lamentation and weeping *). But all of us have Keltos which can create a miracle.

Searching......

I hate comcast, they have almost everything "on demand" on channel #1 here where I live and after digging there - no results so far.

Wow, the internet is full of bad misleading information.... so is TV. Reading some of these boards reminds me of that person giving history lessons on "another" forum when SH4 first came out until they were busted by someone who knew the facts.

Searching......
I'm thinking it was "UNSOLVED HISTORY" "Myths of Pearl Harbor" narrated by a female.

Must be produced by ABC?

a little text in return



During the attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 I-17 patrolled north of Oahu. Its mission was to reconnoiter and engage any ships that tried to sortie from Pearl Harbor.[1] I-17 proceeded to a patrol station off Cape Mendocino following the attack on Pearl Harbor. The 6912-ton General Petroleum tanker SS Emidio was sailing in ballast from Seattle, Washington enroute to San Pedro, California. I-17 hit the tanker with five 14-cm shells in the early afternoon of 20 December 1941. The tanker was within sight of land, and survivors reached the Blunt Reef lightship in lifeboats.

The tanker drifted north onto rocks off Crescent City, California where the wreck remained until scrapped in 1959. A scheduled shelling of American coastal cities on Christmas eve of 1941 was canceled because of the frequency of coastal air and surface patrols.[2]

Miner advised me to change the bow tubes for those of the C3, done.

I think it looks better too.

In the tower.dat, you have to delete the model that is attached to the main node, create a child node and attach the model to it.

Any news? This mod and the Baltic one are IMO the most anticipated mods in all the forums
