They were doing just fine with 3 previous battles, and then they altered the Battle of Midway so hard, I was hoping historical accuracy at least in term which ships got sunk/taiha/etc.

I can't really hope much for a sequel (S2/OVA/Movie), as they will alter any crucial battle that revolves around the USN forces victory.

And since they won the Battle of Midway, and have their 4 carriers still intact, I think you won't see any IJN-losing battles in the late war, instead they will make 'what-if' battles in accordance to the IJN plans after occupying the Midway Atoll.

Then again, it could be that the sequel will all about Guadalcanal Campaign instead, because so far they've been following the historical order. And of course this will include the Battle of Cape Esperance where Fubuki sunk, and we can expect more altered history.

Last time I checked the Kanmusu weren't fighting Americans. I suppose Abyssals could be considered the souls of victims of the IJA/IJN, but the whole historical accuracy thing never made any sense. The whole "pull of fate" had to do with their kanmusu souls rather than what was occurring during battles and operations in the present, imo.
