"What I don't get is why are people asking to make it US specific or Japanese specific?? Wouldn't we all be FAR better off if the Dev's made SHIV a COMPREHENSIVE WWII NAVAL SIM, instead of just a US sub game??"
Nope, it would take too long and add little to the game.
The problem is that the devs then have to put in the vast amount of allied shipping, all of which will be ignored by Japanese boats (with very limited exceptions) because Japanese doctrine was that a merchant wasn't worth wasting a torp on.
You then throw the mass of allied aircraft to model/implement and spend much of the late war either tied up at the pier for lack of fuel or doing those thrilling grocery deliveries to outlying garrisons (carrying few, if any, torps to increase cargo capacity).
I wouldn't mind seeing an option to make the tactical map rotate around you as you turn (so that the map is always oriented to the outside world), rather than have the sub icon turn on the map.
