I know no Japanese campaign, but...

A lot of people gave very good arguments against having a game where you play a Japanese skipper. However, that is precisely why I would find it interesting: you'd be up against immense odds both numerically and technologically.

If anything, I look forward to future single-player mods as the Japanese, as their I-boats did sink a few big warships in 1942.

The Japanese subs weren't so bad in technological terms, but their orders didn't allow them to show their capabilities.

Get one of the Japanese subs with the 'Glen' recon plane and watertight hanger. If the subsimming gets dull it can become a flight sim.

Ultimately, it would be impossible for the developers to make everyone happy with everything. The most that they can hope for is to make as many people as possible happy with something. I am certain that they will do this.

One thing IS indisputable - the Japanese had the best torpedo by a mile (actually, by several....

).

Love to be able to toss a few 'long-lance' torps at targets...those things were wicked.

Yeah, they had a range of something like 40,000 yards

Imagine plotting a firing solution against a convoy 20-30 kms from your position! Would be hard to hit them, but you certainly wouldn't have to worry about escorts.
