Default JANAC

Just had a brain spasm. In SH3, you pretty much know exactly how much tonnage you sink, almost from the moment you sink it. I was just wondering if in SH4 it would be possible (or even desirable) to simulate the findings of the JANAC committee. JANAC was convened after the war to review Japanese records and determine what was sunk and what wasn't. In many cases, skippers' claimed tonnage was reduced; in a few it was actually increased. In SH4, this could be incorporated perhaps by letting you see your tonnage as you play (just as in SH3), but then having it adjusted at the conclusion of your career. Randomize it a little so it's not a fixed amount for every player, every career.

I confess I don't know what would be a fair way to do this.

I dunno - what do y'all think? Doable? Desirable? Unnecessary?
