Do Modders Realize this is not the Atlantic Campaign?

Dont get me wrong. I truly appreciate all the work modders have done to improve SHIII and SHIV. RUB, NYGM, and GW were works of art!

But as I read these posts it seems many are just trying to put the Atlantic Campaign into the Pacific and call it "realism". It was a different campaign all together. The Japanese escorts were no where near the skill of the allies. And in the early years of the war many Japanese Merchant Vessels traveled alone without escorts. Mush Morton attacked an unescorted convoy of four merchants in 1943. And the Japanese did not even have their depth charges set to correct depths until mid war. US Subs did not have widespread use of SJ Radar until Aug 1942.

But then I read posts of modders giving US Subs SJ Radar in 1941, Making the Japanese Escorts Much more deadly, Getting rid of small unescorted convoys, etc....

Is this the Pacific War? Or just a transplanted Atlantic Version?
