RADAR
* Does the game have land based AI surface search radar?
* Do we have the APR-1 to detect radar?
* Will AI radar searches sweep during search and fixate on you when they have found you and are tracking?
* Will we get frequency info from the APR-1 so we can possibly identify the type of unit or facility using it.
* Do we receive radar returns from land masses?
* Can we use the clutter from land masses to mask us from radar.
* Will the intermittent and careful use of our search radar diminish the ability of the enemy AI to detect our emissions and use them to track us?

IJN Q-ships
* Turns out th eIJN may have employed old US Q-ships. In Clear The Bridge, pg 243, O'Kane mentioned how a freighter turned down the wakes of Tang's torps. The Tang dives and is surprised to have 3 depth charges go off.

Shipping routes
* Does SHIV model the many ships that took coastal routes. Individual and small convoys hugged often avoided deep water routes and followed the shallow and easier to patrol waters along China, Korea and Japan(I assume all coastal waters throughout the Empire including Borneo, Indo-China, etc).
