Looking for some advice

i'm still quite new to SH4, but I've done around seven missions in the campaign and on the last mission, i found and sunk a huge jap carrier and two huge jap destroyers.

I was getting a little bit board with the missions i was given, as they always seem to be the same, like deploy to Honshu and engage enemy merchant shipping, but looking for something like a jap carrier kept me going. The problem is, now i've found and sunk one, i want a bit more exitement. After my last mission to Honshu, i've been given the same mission yet again.

Is there any way of getting involved in any big battles, or does anyone have any tips on places where i might find some more action? It would be nice to be able to sit back and watch a good fight, but I've not seen one friendly more than a few miles out from a friendly dock yet. Maybe all this will come later in the campaign, if so, no problem, i can wait, just as long as i know i'm not going to be given the same old patrols over and over again.

I don't have any mods. Its not something i've tried yet with fear of them causing crashes.
I would like to be able to have full access to all the subs though if possible.
I'm building a 1/72 scale model of a Gato Sub, so it would be nice if i could take command of one in SH4.

Is it possible to get access to all the subs without starting a new career and if so, can anyone tell me how to do it, or what mods i need. I just have the standard game at the moment patched with 1.4

One more question: I sunk two sen toku subs, but i was not given any credit for them. Why is that?

Thanks,

Keith.
