And you apparently know nothing about it. There were about 35 'named' naval battles in the Pacific. That means the majority of the time there was nothing going on other than routine ship and merchant movements and air strikes and ongoing attritional land battles. Even then areas where battles took place were mostly limited to select points like the Solomons or New Guinea which were important military objectives for both sides at that particular phase in the war. The Japanese and Allies didn't just engage in pointless carrier or battleship actions at random every day in the empty mid-Pacific for the purpose of entertaining passing submariners.


Sorry for basing the game on an actual war full of boring things like supply lines, distance, fuel constraints, limited ammo and that real boring thing...history. Next time they'll just make one up featuring with Robots from Space and Godzilla.
