I am hopeing that the Japanese when they get tier 6 subs instead of a regular submarine that has standard submarine gameplay, the japanese get a choice between 3 special projects with their own special abilities
I-201 Sen Taka diesel electric sub, moves faster underwater than on the surface, while only has 4 forward torpedo tubes, it has a snorkel when turned on it allows the submarine to recharge the air supply while underwater but at the cost of decreasing its stealth capacity
I-400 Sen Toku carrier sub, a massive sub armed with 8 forward torpedo tubes and a 6" gun. It can hold a Oyodo worth of torpedo bombers, and fighter-recons. It can launch up to 3 planes at a time. However the I-400 has a slower time to crash dive than most other subs making it more vulnerable to attacks.
Type C mod midget sub mothership: a modified HEI while the mothership has 2 less torpedo tubes than the original HEI, the Type C mod can launch Type A Ko-hyoteki midget subs which act as underwater torpedo bombers, they are nearly impossible to detect unless they are within 10 meters of a Destroyer, they have only 2 torpedos, their air time is more limited than normal subs, and have 500 DP
