New Add-On idea...
 

Okay, now that they've done a u-boat add on, it's time to do a Japanese add on, since it is the Pacific War!:hmm:

If I had the influence and/or modding skills, this is what I would make:

Japanese subs included:
Kaidai, Junsen, kaichu (Ro-class), and B-1 classes. Midgets???

Brit subs/ Dutch subs:
[insert favorite Brit/Dutch sub]

Campaigns/ Missions:

Guadalcanal, Indian Ocean, Pearl Harbor, US West Coast, Aleutians, Australia, and historical supply missions

Cool ideas:
It would be a trip to figure out how to launch the recon planes from the airplane carring subs.

Type 95 torpedoes???:hmm: :hmm:

Launch a kai-ten?
Possible ULTRA ambushes.

Now I would pay money for this.:hmm: :up:

OR

Let's put a team together!

I wouldn't mind something to do with British subs to tell ya the truth.

I think the big challenge would be just surviving! No deep diving Gatos or Balaos, you're pushing your luck @200 ft. No radar to warn you.

Could you survive an encounter with the USS England?

...make it to the West Coast and launch a midget into San Fransisco harbor (harbour :rotfl: :roll: )

Take pot-shots at West Coast oil refineries.

Launch a scout plane to look for shipping traffic.
I think it has possiblites.

I like the midget sub mission.

Just a quick thought as to how to do it?

Make the midget sub playable and attach a full sub as an
ejectable part?

Of course, there would be problems as far as interior stuff goes.

Don't forget launching planes to bomb strategic forests in Oregon. ;)

You could, but it would hurt the salmon, or a sealion:roll:

Not to mention innocent Century 21 Real Estate signs. :rotfl:

This is what you fire bomb the Northwest with.

I'd actually like to see a british campaign for a change. In the North sea, the bay of biscay or the mediterranian these boats were quite busy.

Jeez, like this isn't the first time someone hasn't thought of this idea... :roll:

And once again, I'll make the same objections I always do: it'll have to be a lot more than an ad-on. They'll need to create the proper interiors for each boat, then the crew models and uniforms, and hardest of all hire the voice actors. And spend huge amounts of money.

But don't get me wrong: if they were to actually do it, I'd be the first in line to by a Japanese, British, Italian or even Dutch version.:sunny:

What about the I-400? I would love that..

For the interiors, I'd use the S-boats. I think it would make a good start. I would still pay for this, if they did a good job and didn't rush it.

I still think it would make a fun challenge.:know:

A British campaign would realy float me boat:D. Would love to get me hands on a T Class sub sailing home with the jolly roger flying high:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_T_class_submarine

The early variants had 10 :o forward firing torpedo tubes (six internal and four single shot external), two of the external tubes were moved to fire aft to improve surface sea keeping. There where 53 built suffering about 25% losses. According to the article thay had a tough time in the Med but faired much better in all other theaters of the war.

There's a T-class sub in SH3 GWX 2.0 if I'm not mistaken and I'm sure a bright spark can make that SH4-compatible, even if only AI at first. I'm sure that another bright spark could make it playable, which would give us a sub for the RN as well as the RNethN, which received two: Hr.Ms. "Zwaardvisch" and Hr.Ms "Tijgerhaai".
