My mistake then.
I think we are all waiting to see the new version of HOF...
I am all in with this!
THe Allied Subs should also be downgraded to a 4 starting off until they Research a new Tech called MK 14 Torpedo Improved which increases US Subs Offensive to 10. This number reflects the improved detonators and all such subs should be Elite to reflect the superb training and leadership or officers and crews. THis could also be simulated by Advanced Subs tech for the US only. And discard Advanced Subs "seeing" other subs. That ability was never possible during WWII.

I concur! Eric, it seems you probably have just enough time to play Nature.

And as an aside...I would like to see a future revision which increases the Attack and Defensive values to the IJN CAs & DDs due to the Long Lance Torpedo and night fighting skill of the IJN. The US and Brits never had anything close to parity until 1944 when the sheer number of Fast Carrier Groups overwhelmed the IJN. But from 1941 to then the Allies rarely won a surface engagment. The existing A/D values do not reflect the advantage held by the IJN until 1944.
I don't really agree with this. By late 1942 almost every US ship from destroyer size
up was equipped with radar, while almost none of the IJN DDs were. Since almost
all ship to ship combat took place at night this actually gave the advantage to the
US, IF and this is a big IF, the commander knew the abilities of radar and trusted the technology.
Many did not which resulted in disasters like Savo Island. But combat
teaches hard lessons and the USN learned fast, which resulted in victories like
the Battle of Cape Esperance.
