I have the Sen Toku playable but it is the Fleet boat side, I am going to convert it to Uboat side. Keltos tells me it's too big, but I like it. You will see it in the campaign at least at a dock, whether we make it a playable or not we don't know, it actually never was used, the war ended when it was on it's first mission.

I'm not sure about the "Launch aircraft option", if we will have that or not, i'd love to see that in the game..
but If I can make a small suggestion... regarding the Kaiten human torpedo.. we should have an option to launch them,..(not fire them from the torpedo tubes).
Each sub carried about 4 - 6 kaitens, towards the end.. as well as their regular torpedo loads. If they are in the tubes its.. 'unrealistic'
Unfortunately the game has some limitations. Some can be overcome, some can not. You can not put a flyable plane on the gound, water, or ship, it will explode. There are two sets of planes. Flying ones and decoration, the plane on the Sen Toku, and any aircraft carriers are decoration. You can not spawn a plane (or anything else) within 20 miles of your sub. So even if you wanted to make a flyable plane appear and then take off, it won't happen. (that close to the sea, it would most likely crash anyway.) I assume they set it up like that so ships,subs and planes don't suddenly appear in front of you.

Technically you could "launch' Kaitens from an invisible tube on deck but we only have so many buttons and then you have to change tubes with the keyboard so you don't know which one is selected. And unless you are going to play the game with scuba gear and sit on deck, you won't know where it came from anyway. And it isn't even 'driven' like a Kaiten would be, we have to use an Acoustic to simulate the driving. You could also simulate by putting 4 Kaitens on the deck, go out and fire 4 Kaiten and return to base with 4 Kaitens on the deck, because that is how the game works. The torpedo does not actually appear until you fire it.
