Legate of Mineta Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 If you are an expert on pre-war IJN fire control, the Team has some questions for you. Feel free to message me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjapacman Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Do you need the technical specifications of fire-control mechanisms, or the procedure and practice of the crews using the fire control? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted January 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjapacman Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Well then I have some research to do. Hopefully my sources are different from yours, or I'll probably run into the same lack of information. I've only got information on torpedo controls, and it's limited at that.

Legate of Mineta Posted January 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 v_L; Thanks! We have both (Friedman is really useful!), but they are still looking for more details about what came before. Appreciate it, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate it, though! >Friedman it's Lacroix, actually (and it means you already have operational procedures for all IJN CL/CA FC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjapacman Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Damn, Lipstig! Where did you find all this? What a wealth of information! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted January 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Oh that's Lacroix? I'll let'em know! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrYuriMom Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 In speaking with my dad who has the Library of Doom, he pulled out a surprisingly recent book Kaigun David C Evans, Mark R Peattie Naval Institute Press 1997 It even has schematics apparently :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted January 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 DYM; I believe we've heard of this book- thank you, I'll let'em know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrYuriMom Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Here's another: Japanese Cruisers of the Pacific War Eric Lacroix, Linton Wells Also NIP Also 1997 Cruisers had fire control too! ;-) Apparently this is even more detailed than the previous reference, but it is specific to cruisers as the title suggests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted January 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 DYM; For Kaigun, evidently it doesn't have the information they're seeking- they have a copy. For Lacroix, a great resource, but still not quite the depth pre-war they are looking for. Thank you, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrYuriMom Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 If you're looking for enough detail to create mathematical models for simulations, I fear that what you want may only exist in Japanese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted January 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 DYM; I'm afraid you're right! Well, there's always '40 to deepen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Either that or throw the suggestion at the Japanese VB fan base, wherever that might be. They might not poke too many heads in here, given that it's an English forum and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted January 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Metis; Yeah, we're not quite done reaching out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjapacman Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I ran into the same problem when I tried to research it. I couldn't find any sources that weren't Japanese, and I couldn't read the Japanese sources very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninjapacman Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 I didn't know you could speak Japanese, Yuri, but I wish them well too. I'll keep trying to find things on my end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
