Ok, that the Gatos did more patrols than the Balaos, afterall the Gatos entered in service first and like the Balaos they were fought till the end of the war but the number of patrols of the Balao was also very big so I think that very few would disagree that the Balao shouldn't be included in SH4.

But I do hope that the Balao (and even the Tench) is included as a "variantion" of the Gato.

If my memory serves me correctly - SH had all classes of boats from the S- Boat up. I believe that included the Salmon. Permit, Tambor, Gato, Balao, and Tench. I remember being given the opportunity to "transfer" to a new boat with classes of Balao and Tench so I guess why would the dev. team NOT include them in SH4? If a sim - SH "way back when" could include these boats and their individual operational "properties" - I see no reason a sim of the 21st century can not have at minimum what SH had!

Happy Hunting
