Try this guide:

two level 100+ engineers
level 80 planesman
any sonarman
two torpers level 70
maybe a level 100+ repairer instead of gunner

Personally, I suggest leveling a Battleship line first (not as IJN), with this experience,
you can understand what is expected of a SS player.

As far as your questions go, Since I only have a SS3, I can only tell you that IJN subs
are slow, slow, and very slow. They have a nice damage output, and ok speed with
a very high level crew. It's gennerally known that IJN is the best anti-BB nation for
subs.*

+1, don't make the same mistake I did....I decided for IJN cuz ther sub's look
cool...but considering I enjoy sub vs sub more...the T4 is just useless crap -.-

IJN subs are like slow turning tankers...just a heads up :D

Check out the post labeled IJN SS -- I wrote it because you are right there needs to be a
SS guide. I will try to refine it as time goes on.

Ignore Megadone below. He must not be a very good SS driver.

Thanks

Only correct way to do this:

Level a BB line first. This way you get good engy's. Then level your SS BO (only Class him
as national sailor) and torpers/planesman till SS3 or maybe even SS4 levels on a BB. Then
enjoy the game of 0 skill required.

LOL Angus!

Most experienced players are seemingly obsessed with subs ;-)

Other then your BO,sonar,planes,and two torpers make sure you level up three engys for
when you hit the Hei Gata.

As Angus suggests (kind of) I'd simultaneously bring up a IJN gunline crew as well,it will
make leveling easier on you in the long run.

Also if you do a search you'll find a bunch of threads on IJN SSs in here too.
