I want to suggest a fourth submarine type namely a midget submarine. They could be carried by any ship but specifically seaplane carriers like the Japanese Chitose did. They could be used for surprise attacks on ports which the Italians, British and Japanese did do. They could be valuable in the Mediterranean and the Sea of Japan and possibly the Caribbean.

I believe the original purpose of the Japanese mini-subs was to be deployed in the attrition phase against the American fleet as it moved towards the Phillipines to relieve them and was brough to decisive battle by the Japanese fleet Attacking harbours was a secondary plan to them which is why they had torpedo's rather than deployable explosive charged the British and Italians used for harbour attacks. This is why the Japanese had fast ships to carry them capable of keeping up with the fleet to deploy them in the right place for a night ambush.
The Germans also deployed a minisub for attacks on the normandy beach convoys although they were not very effective ,and the Japanese would deploy Kamikaze manned torpedo's at the end of the war

I think better ots some sort of posibility to make operations like commandos incluiding this type of things , mybe a mecanic similar to invasion, but instead of take a port, damage airfields or instalations annd mybe damage ships.

Personally, I think that is too much detail for the team to deal with. My suggestion is just a simple fourth submarine to be used either by the AI to attack ports or manually by the player. Just an idea. |

I dont see much impact of midget submarines. All submrines should have a little of pimp up, becose midget subs were so sucessfull in my view to take to much acount, but the diferece of a meduim and ling range sub was quiet important and part of sub doctrines that i dont understand why theres no a separate medium sub than a longrange sub, witch was extremly costly in ww2.
Even i dont know if some desing choises could be done for subs, i feel subs are underestimated in game, even been a pain in unrestricted operation

Suggestion:
They could perhaps be a new type of coastal fortification. Representing the infrastructure for "commando" or "Minisub" base. If there is one in an sea region there is a chance for raids or damages much like the random mine hits.
This could also appear as a start of battle chance to damage one of the deployed ships (either side) at the start of the match.
