Japanese ships alone I could see but when they start using foreign ships and only exclusively German ones...that's two axis nations mind you, and none from the US, none from Britain, none from France (Imagine the French "Terrible" meeting Shimakaze lol), I can't help but think they might be...favouring them for a reason. You do know that Japan tries to depict themselves in lighter manner in respect to world war 2....I almost want to say this is borderline indirect glorification or at the least romantification of the Imperial navy and maybe naval power of the axis in general....I wouldn't be so bold to directly state this, but I still can't help but find the circumstances uncanny..

Three Axis countries, now there's also the silly "country of pasta". The game is certainly about remembering and glorifying the old navy, it's their own history and heritage, why shouldn't they honour those who fought and fell for their country? Why should they make it so that the enemy certainly is not the Allies?

There's a lot of self-entitlement flying around when people start this discussion, as if games portraying the war from the Allied point of view go out of their way to criticise what fellows like LeMay and Harris did in carrying out the orders of their respective governements.
