The I 400s were not the only IJN submarines that deployed seaplanes.

The Kugisho E14Y Glen was carried on the smaller seaplane launching subs and was the only Axis aircraft to bomb the continental United States, though the attack was ineffective.

True, but the I-400 would be the one I'd like to see in the sim.

The I 400 never sailed with it's intended aircraft, or on it's intended mission (attack of Panama Canal).

The other classes of IJN subs would be more useful.

But I't take anything I can get.

I think with some of the '46 aircraft in the sim, we can allow a bit of artistic license on the Pacific front too....

Oh I agree with that.

But then we would need a Rita, Kikka and Shinden.

and why not?

I'm in no position to make demands, but I feel the experimental weapons on the Pacific front have been rather neglected.



Had another thought too, maybe a USN variant of the P-80, with arrestor hook etc?

Please, please, please do something about the ability of gunners, both human and AI, to fire accurately (or at all) while the airplane is maneuvering violently.

I'm so sick of taking hits from inverted bombers pulling 5 "G's".

Does anybody really think this kind of thing as at all reasonable? And it's been like this for how long?

It's long past time for this incredible oversight to be addressed.
