I get your point about Wake. Marcus Island should fall in the same category. Losing the Marianas, however, would be a major blow for your opponent, because it all but encircles the Marshalls, and with your increasing air and submarine power the Marshalls will become quite difficult to supply without the Marianas. All the best for that operation. Show him!
And if I remember correctly, your submarine torpedoes will get a boost on Jan 1st, as well.

I actually hadn't even considered that I might be able to deal with the Marshalls just by cutting them off. It may be a little tricky because these small islands have limited capacity to base aircraft, and I have limited squadrons to assign--so a blockade would probably be some system of maritime surveillance enabling submarine or surface intercepts. But it is feasible.
Yep, torpedoes are going to get better. The dud rate will still be high, but I think it should come down enough that the subs attacking on the surface will be able sink their targets without depleting all torpedoes aboard in the process. Also more hits on escorted convoys will be nice.
