SH4 from the Japanese side could be interesting - torpedoing Saratoga (twice), finishing off Yorktown and Juneau, sinking Wasp and damaging North Carolina and O'Brien with a single spread, damaging Chester, sinking Indianapolis, transporting Midget subs and Kaitens to attack PH, Sydney, Ulithi, Diego Suarez (Madagaskar) and other places, chasing merchantmen off the US West Coast, around PH, Australia and the Indian Ocean as far as East Africa, launching air raids with sub-launched float planes against Washington (only air attack against CONUS ever was launched from a Japanese sub!), plane and periscope recon of Allied naval bases, supply runs to bypassed or beleaguered islands - those are the historic feats and missions of the IJN submarine force that spring to my mind instantly. Would make for an interesting campaign, don't you think?
