It said that the war STARTS with Pearl Harbour, timewise. But it didn´t say that Pearl Harbour had to be the starting location.

From the SubSim interview:

Michael Patton, 53, US: Are you going to start the war prior to Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor & is Pearl Harbor going to be an operating submarine base?

SH4 Dev Team: The war will always start with Pearl Harbor, we can’t change that. And so will our campaign. The full list of bases to be included as starting points for player’s campaign sorties is not decided yet.

Considering the amount of work it is to build 3d interiors its not surprising they had to draw the line somewere. We had 3 diffrent interiors in SH3, now we get 4 from the looks of it, and people still complain.....
Guess, I misread the interview. Thanks for clearing up my doubts about the starting bases!

Nevertheless I hope that they don't forget the Phillippines sub base and I also hope they'll add the S-Class sub since it's an essencial sub if the Phillippines sub bases is to be added into the game.

Regading the number of submarines, first I'm not complaining I'm only requesting that the most important US subs of the WWII Pacific be included and thing that now that you mention happens in SH3! In SH3 you have ALL the most important German Subs (Type II, Type VII, Type IX and Type XXI, which in total are 4 main sub types) so what I ask here is that in SH4 the most importat US sub be added too and these most important US subs are (I believe most here agree) all the mentioned in the interview plus the S-Class (the one that I request here) and the Balao (the most important US sub of the later part of the war).
