I think I've hijacked my own thread!!!

As Redmane and I wrap up the deck gun issue, I am hoping someone can shed some light on the technological advances I can expect from both sides as the war progresses, especially the IJN. I guess I can find out the hard way and watch as 5 or 6 destroyers turn and speed towards me.

Just to repeat:
Future radar and sonar capabilities of the warships, merchants and aircraft would be nice to know. I have searched for this and have read discussions but have never seen a concise outline/summary.

Is a link, source, or brief summary of a "technology timeline" available for SH4?

Well, you may have seen this already in your travels about the web, and while it doesn't relate directly to the game, I thought you may find it helpful, and certainly an interesting read. This site also has a very complete listing of all the fleet boats during the war, and brief accounts of their histories as well.

Yes, advances are coming in sonar, radar and other things. This info is classifed. If we gave it to you, you could get captured and if they knew you knew, then they know we know, so the answer is no.

Sadly I understood that, and more concerning...it makes sense.
