Sensors and weapons work just like in real life, with all their strengths and weaknesses. Units move, detect, fight and win or die based on what their systems can and cannot do. Electronic warfare and technological levels can tilt the balance of battle. The weather can be your best ally and your worst enemy. The terrain, both overland and undersea, can hide you from the enemy but also can block your weapons from firing. Thermal layers, convergence zones, surface ducting, the deep sound channel and factors such as water salinity and temperature may decide the sub vs ship duel. Is this going to be like the old Harpoon series? I had a lot of fun playing those games. |

It's very detailed. Using your sensors and jamming assets to their potential can be critical to success.
I find the game itself mindblowing. From what's been revealed thus far you have control of individual aircraft & ships from before the Korean War to past 2020 in a real-time, Google-Earth environment. In Harpoon you were limited to battlesets that covered a specific regions. Here you have the world, with accurate topographic and bathymetric data! 
This can't come out soon enough for me! |

Quoted: Yep, premier title. You have all the resources at hand to play air/naval battles from the end of WWII through 2025 anywhere in the world. You get what you pay for. Or you can plunk down $60 on Rome II, I suppose... Quoted: Quoted: $80   Edit: $95 if you want a box.  Yep, premier title.

Giving the state of the gaming industry today, $80 is a lot of money to risk. "You get what you pay for" real means nothing these days when people at throwing $80+ at games that aren't even out of alpha development(Planetary Annihilation) |

I'm all about that...but not for almost a cnote. Quoted:

True enough. I doubt the cost will be coming down, though. Not really a game for the masses. More for wargamers who want a high fidelity, real time battle sim. I'm all about that...but not for almost a cnote. I've put over 200hrs in beta testing this sucker and when the community starts posting scenarios ranging from individual engagements to the opening week on the Central Front, well, the cost will be hours per penny. |
