The search engine here is for the birds and seems to only know ONE word at a time so how about it SH4 Devs can you please tell us the cut off date in SH4 ?
SH3 there was a definite cut off date ( War over ) no matter what date you started your career from but I fail to see a cut off date in the SH4 Manual or the SH4 readmes ( 1,2 & 3 ).
I know that in real life Aug 14
th 1945 it was "Unconditional Surrender of Japanese forces" and the next day Aug 15
th was VJ Day or Victory over Japan.
I can't believe people playing SH4 are running around the Pacific in 1946/1947 trying to find Japanese ships that have already surrendered and are no longer the enemy.

As with SH3, what would be the point ?
Good ole SH4 manual lacked many things, but it was a start.
