Why is that not in any of the sims?

If you don't think that the Sentoku is cool, you oughtta be playing with Barbie dolls. They didnt even tell anyone for 60 years. grrr. They were even bigger than some modern nuclear attackers.

Arigato...

That actually would be pretty cool!

SWOTJN : "They had plans!"

Why not? We've got the Lerche and Gothas but still missing so much that never was!

Oh alright... maybe too hasty.

It's just a little odd the way it's been presented.

This is news?

Anyway, very cool concept, and a Seiran is still around...this was real, Neal; they were built. The US destroyed or scuttled each of the subs after inspection

Here's the Seiran:

Yes. I had seen a program on this sometime ago.

And they never saw action because?

The war ended.

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... 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.

are you effin kidding me? stealth underwater aircraft carrier sub with tomcats... lol.. I can has 1?

Robotech is Transformers' daddy.

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.

Yup.. well there you have it.

Separate issue. Previously you had put them in the same category as the unicorns and magic pixies




Sorry, but that's what I was addressing, not shades of gray

I always found this raid interesting..quite a journey for the payload.

Lookout Raids

Upgraded to P-80 status then, okay?

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?
