My intention is to have Fotrs Ultimate portray the AI more realistically. Meaning, I'm reworking the entire Ultimate AI sensor group (visual; sonar; radar) to be more historical in their values and capabilities. Anyone wishing to think the Japanese had, or even used (if they had it), the same capabilities as other nations during the time period haven't done much research on the subject. The fact is the Japanese prosecuted the war in their own way. Unlike the European Theater of large convoys having well equipped escorts for protection, the Japanese seldom had merchants in large numbers together, or supplied these "second rate" vessels with protection that was even half as capable as the Allies. These facts are described throughout the findings of the American "follow-up" of the war by such documents as the
United States Strategic Bombing Survey of the Pacific......of which the "
The War against Japanese Transportation (1945)" is only a small part of.
Other facts persist after the American studies of Japanese equipment and doctrine......they just weren't as capably as we had thought, nor did they possess the same capabilities as the German technology. These two "team members" did not have the same ideals toward scientific performance. The idea the Japanese should perform as the Germans is just not accurate. Nor, where they on the same level as the American technology. The thinking that the Pacific war had the same fundamental aspects as the Atlantic is just not correct.
So, it's my opinion and plan to have the game portray this in game play. As Double R said....stay tuned!
