Always loved the phrase "co-prosperity" when its applied to Japanese. Come join our 'Co-Prosperity' while we steal, starve and rape [;)]

[okonumiyaki]

And that was different to the Dutch/ US/ British/ French/ Chinese warlords....?

OK, the Western powers had generally finished their raping/ pillaging by 1930's, but only by a generation or so (Dutch bloody conquest of Bali was 1908)

[Speedysteve]

Was only meant in jest [;)]

Hi Nik...thanks for the update. So, your "fix" seems to be working for the Japanese boats. I believe the same is needed for the Allied boats given the loss of seven in just four months, all to DCs. Again, the problem I see is that the model, however it is supposed to work, clearly gives the surface forces too great an advantage over the sub.

As your fix basically quadruples the durability of the sub, throwing the Japanese production costs and universal VPs way out of whack, does this not clearly indicate an earlier gross over estimation of ASW capability? As such, can we finally get a few changes to the model (or at least compensate for the VP and production values)?

Thanks again for the update...

Ron
