Ironically, the one area that the Japanese did spend a lot of resource on was fire control directors. They won several night battles early in the war, because their radar directors were better than ours. You could simulate this by improving the accuracy values in the gun files.
Are you sure? I heard the Japanese didn't have advanced Radar and won those night battles primarly because of both surprise, superior torpedoes and the fact that the Americans didn't have any experience fighting those, and that the later night battles that put an end to the Tokyo Express we're won by the USN because they DID have good Radar Fire Control

In fact, I believe none of the Japanese destroyers had Radar until the Akizuki class...
