Well, the long lance torpedo had a crazy long range. More than once allied forces returned to old course, thinking having succeeded in outrunning them. Then: Bang.
The rules do just reflect reality.
Playing pacific I would expect that the USN was inferior in that aspect. Late war radar and new tactics changed that. 41-43 I would expect a Japanese force winning.
Most Gamers want games with equal chance forces. OK if You are not interested in a historical basing. But some are like me, being more interested in historical abilities of vessels. So I like these rules.
