The early war is a scripted layer called EastAsian Campaign or something like that.

I was testing some layers and I ran into a TF with BBs west of Manila, but was not set up for a good attack. I fired all 4 tubes at the BBs steaming away from me (at 18 knots) and badly damaged Ise who slowed. I then sank a screening DD that was astern of the TF with a single torpedo. I think it said I sank a neutral, even though I had already recieved word that we were at War. On a lark (was only testing, lol) I surfaced and ran in at flank speed to turn and use the 3 remaining rear tubes while the front reloaded. No one reacted. A DD on the far side rear came around as part of his escort pattern—and ignored me. Sea was CALM. I drove past the stricken BB at pistolshot, no reaction. Got a few hundred yards off his port bow, and put 2 more fish in him. He goes down at the bow and slows to a crawl. Long story short, I flanked around and used every single torpedo, and even the deck gun. At some point the 3 lead DDs came in with bones in their teeth and before I could submerge, they sank me.
