I fail to see how sending one or two small seaplanes, with a small bomb payload against well defended targets could have had any effect at all on the wars' outcome.

lol.. ya pielots... seehearspeak This was kept secret to prevent USSR from obtaining this fully-operational-by-the-end of the war technological marvel. Even I thought I knew all the big things. Watch the "spam" movie: they canceled missions to terror-bomb major US cities on both coasts and Panama Canal to cut off Atlantic fleet & resources, because war ended and because of US retaliation.

Can't be too hard to program this into a nice graphics remake of PF+IL2. Something like Birds of Steel maybe?

USSR tho managed to developed the novel twin-hull concept into their most if not all their major boomer subs.

Arigato Sentoku.

Drop one bomb on San Francisco or L.A. Due to the panic that was prevelent back then about a Japanese invasion and there would have been a War of The worlds panic.

My character somehow got all twisted up. I was playing the mission where you have to infiltrate the Golden Glow Estate and do multiple things. When I was out burning beehives and fighting I just eventually ran away to view my success from a distance. I first noticed it when I squated down on a tree trunk. Coot..the squatter../simHQ/2011

The panic took place immediately after Pearl Harbor- this was four years later. A few small bombs could not possibly have closed the canal. Also, the US had something called radar- the likelyhood of them even reaching the coast was pretty small.

If the anechoic coating was good then I wonder why they didn't pack subs with explosives and Kamikaze from the deep?
