What kind of event would you create if you were Tanaka?

Since we have both I-400 and I-401 now, mine would be based off of that canceled operation at the end of the war that involved them attacking Panama. It would be a small scale event with only three maps and they would be relatively straightforward. There would be no shiplocking since the entire event would have to be cleared only with submarines. Also, no LBAS for historical reasons.

The boss of the first map would be a Ne-class heavy cruiser -- normal on easy, elite on medium, flagship on hard, it would go one level "up" during the last dance, unless you played on hard, in which case it would just be accompanied by additional two He-class flagships. Other nodes would mostly contain destroyers and light cruisers with ASW abilities proportional to the difficulty level. The reward for clearing it would be a Wurfgerat on easy, an additional good submarine torpedo on normal, additional screws and medal on hard.

The boss of the second map would be a Wo-class aircraft carrier -- elite on easy, flagship on normal, kai flagship on hard, it would go one level "up" during the last dance, unless you played on hard, in which case it would just be accompanied by another two Nu-class flagships with high ASW bombers. It would be surrounded by destroyers, light cruisers and light carriers with substantial ASW capabilities that increase with the difficulty level. The reward would be a special type of Seiran on easy, a better Seiran together with that special thing from Hitomi on medium, and additional two reinforcement expansions on hard. There would also be a quest that would allow players to gain a Wurfgerat from doing something on the second map.

The boss of the third map would be an installation-type enemy. She would still have to be defeated only using subs, so your best bet would be equipping them with Wurfgerats. That's the reason why admirals should be able to gain two of them during the earlier stages of the event. It would also be extra-sensitive to day aerial bombardment from Seirans and its air defense would either be extremely weak so that air superiority could be achieved with just one or two fighters on SSVs, or non-existent. Additionally, it would be accompanied by ships that can't attack submarines like battleships and heavy cruisers. It wouldn't matter anyway since the submarines with Wurfgerats would be forced to attack the boss, but you would probably have to have a strong night battle setup as well to get an S rank. It would be surrounded by light cruisers and destroyers with good ASW abilities, as well as abyssal Kaiboukans.

The reward for clearing the entire event would be the submarine I-402 on all difficulties (I know she wasn't scheduled to take part in that operation, but I don't think any reward would fit more than her since two of her sisters were involved) and some unimportant extra stuff on higher ones. There would also be a new Kaiboukan and a new submarine, probably I-201 class, both introduced as drops. The event would probably have to be preceded by a period of increased submarine drop rate on all maps as well as I-400 and I-401 being available as normal drops so that people would not complain that much about the requirements. Maybe some special quest or collectible to get another Wurfgerat or two for the final map too.

Thoughts?
