When I play the Japanese side it never provides any useful info.

Is it broken?

I still check sigint as the Japanese, it helps uncover the occasional task force or submarine, but you rarely get really good information from it.

Wow, I didn't realize this. Will start watching more closely. I had up to now mainly been looking for radio signals in the ocean as a giveaway for subs/TFs.

Does it means that this is not just a movie?

Status: offline 		Not propaganda - in just my last turn in a PBEM as Japanese:

Signals detected at S.F. - and I could see 37 ground units at the base
Signals detected at Seattle - and I could see 2 AK & 2 CA at port

Don't get these results every time - but I do check once in a while.

Obviously I don't have any recon units near these bases - so it must be SIGINT...

Actually, the game models HUMINT (human intelligence, aka SPIES) also. Not only real spies, but you can get info through neutral embassies/consuls. IRL, info passed through the Portuguese and Spanish (both ways).

That discussion was about recon. The poster here has suggested that sig intel gives some information other than what is there in the report if you hold your mouse over the island in question. I've done this and no result.
