If implemented in game, the Panama Canal would provide:
-- a visually-interesting environment
-- potentially target-rich environment (ground attack-- a choke point for naval confrontation)
-- potentially reduced development time (relevance for both WoWP and WoWS)
Panama Canal from the air (~1912, two years before completion):
The Japanese had a plan to launch a surprise attack on the Panama Canal via submarine-borne attack aircraft (Aichi M6A Seiran).
I am still looking for pictures of the canal as it appeared in the 1940's, will update if I find any.
Approximate scale: 48 miles long (77 km)
