Only Pearl Harbor command?

You have to be kidding, only Pearl Harbor command. Lets be real here. Over 50% of war patrols were based out of Brisbane and Fremantle.. How can you have a Pacific sub war without patroling from Brisbane? Then later from Fremantle?? These commands covered about 3 million square miles of ocean. From roughly latitude 10 degrees south to 20 degrees north and from longitude 100 degrees east to 130 degrees east. Seems to me an awfull large chunk of the pacific with coverage.

Here's what I read:

SH4 Dev Team: The war will always start with Pearl Harbor, we can’t change that. And so will our campaign. The full list of bases to be included as starting points for player’s campaign sorties is not decided yet.

I'm sure the Dev Team is referring to the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

I'm sure that's what they are referring to as well.

But they also mention they haven't sorted out what the full list of starting point bases are which implies that there will be others.

People should actually READ the interview material....it's hard enough for developers when people don't like what they've actually said without having people inventing stuff!

It says the WAR starts in Pearl Harbour (not exactly a big surprise) and that they are yet to decide the bases available from which to conduct operations. So I don't know why people think they have to start in Pearl and that the other bases won't be included.....:hmm:

At a guess, you'd think Pearl, Midway and Brisbane will be in at least (Wahoo did a patrol from Pearl to Brisbane then another from Brisbane to Midway in '42, for example). I suppose Manilla should really be there, but then it wasn't available for all that long....

Remember the first sub lost was the Sealion, just hours after Peal Harbour. She was based at Suvla bay I think.

It would be a shame not to have these bases included, as well as forward operating bases that came into effect in late 1944-1945, these reduced traveling time and increased on patrol time for each boat.
