excellent book, i agree. also for movments and actual TROM, this invaluable source:
http://www.combinedfleet.com/sensuikan.htm and Capt. Onita was a remarkable skipper, one the IJN can be rightfully proud of, his command shelled the oil field docks south of Goleta, just south of Santa Barbara where i live some of the time, and he has been one of the IJN officers to share info about the aborted plans to use the sub borne air assets to bomb the Panama Canal.

Some of the Minekaze Class DDs were converted to carry the Kaiten as well. I know nothing of the playable ship mods, but that might be a route to consider as well.

But it would be an idea if there was a way to change or pick a sub before a mission. Peabody

Yeah, it would be something you'd likely only use for single missions, not a campaign.

and for some actual war time footage of both IJN and USN subs, including long range missions of IJN to Germany (and some great footage of the Graf Spee, German U boats) including on board action shots of US boats...
enjoy..(these are in the public domain) http://www.archive.org/details/VAS_1...Southern_Cross http://www.archive.org/details/VAS_21_Full_Fathom_Five

You could make a british x-craft as well.
You give them 2 "mines." The weapons are easy. Make a new torpedo with a short eject distance and a VERY slow speed, and short range. Meaning that you get maybe 50-100 yards from your target (say Takao at anchor near Singapore), then fire the "mines" and they move towards her at the sort of speed that allows you to escape the blast. tater Last edited by tater; 12-02-08 at 09:29 AM. |

Depends on how you judge IJN and IGHQ decision making in 1941
