The ironic thing is one of the most devasting losses the Japanese suffered from US submarines wasn't a battleship or an aircraft carrier. It was the lowly 14,500 tontransport Taiyo Maru sunk on May 8th 1942 by the submarine Grenadier. Post-war examination of Japanese records showed Taiyo Maru to be more than just the ordinary transport; she was en route to the Netherland East Indies with a group of Japanese scientists, economists, oilmen and industrial experts bent on expediting the exploitation of the conquered territory. Their loss put a permanent crimp in Japan's efforts to extract oil from this area from which Japan never fully recovered.

I remember in the flightsim Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe the course of the war would change depending on how successful players were in game.
I think this would work perfectly in a sub sim and it wouldn't be too difficult to incorporate into the game. ________ WASHINGTON MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES Last edited by IRONxMortlock; 08-14-11 at 02:52 PM. |
