I think Pearl Harbor should be an event for the Japanese player. If the right conditions are met then you should be able to do a lot of damage to the US Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor. Assemble your long range fleet, move it to the sea zone, do port strike, you get a popup asking if you want to attack and declare war, and then the event should trigger. There should probably be some randomness to the damage inflicted. I think a mechanic to raise destroyed ships from harbors would have to be added to properly simulate the event. Because most of the battleships sunk that day were raised and repaired.

I don't think it's possible to destroy that many ships in a port strike using Carriers under normal circumstances. I've tried and it's never worked. So either the mechanics would need to change or it needs to be a special event.

I think there should be lots of interesting events like this in general. For example I think there should be one for damaging the Panama Canal using I-400 submarines. I think events like this would make the game a lot more interesting and fun to play.

Pearl Harbor should fit well with new decisions system. Maybe add some debuffs to American Navy for a while so Japan will have an edge over US at the start of the war?
