Balao Class Missing?
I was surprised to read that the Balao Class and S-Class may not be in the game. This has got to be an oversight. As you can see below, there were a total of 244 different boats that participated in the Pacific War and the Balao's were the biggest class grouping.
S-Class 22
P-Class 10
Salmon Class 9
Sargo Class 7
Tambor Class 12
Gato Class 72
Balao Class 102
Tench Class 10
Total Sub 244
Note: This excludes 6 very unique one-off subs that saw considerable action in the Pacific (Argonaut, Narwhal, Nautilus, Dolphin, Cachalot and Cuttlefish)
I bet they just forgot to mention the Balao, since it would be such a major mistake to leave it out of the game. I think leaving out the much admired S-Class "Sugar boats" would be for some people the equivalent of leaving out the TypeII's from SH3. Emeazul
