Well, SH4 is still a new toy to me but I can't help thinking that if the war had somehow managed to go on for a decade or more with no advances past a certain point, the surviving sub skippers may have felt the same way.
Has anyone considered a "SH4: Pacific Wolves 1946" variant that could potentially extend the war to that year or beyond? Perhaps an alternate history in which the Pacific theater waged on after the demise of Germany and the setback of the development of the U.S. atomic bomb. The U.S. could put to use captured type XXI boats while the Japanese managed to produce the I-500 in quantity but even greater advances in ASW would make things just as challenging.
Wait ... that's silly. Before long there would be submarine launched missiles if the world's economy survived two more years of war. Boring.
