As stated by others, this game is a full collection of bugs making it unplayable. As an example, after a couple of hours playing trying to understand the game mechanics ( the tutorials are useless and the manual is more than light - 28 pages ...) , I decided to start a new game. And then none of the flights icons were displayed neither on ships (CV, CA) nor on airfileds... So no way to launch air recon or strikes despite the game rely mainly on air power at sea .... This bug was supposed to be fixed by patch 1.9.2 in April 21... Still showing in version 1.12 And too many other minor but annoying bugs (air flights disappering, air strike circling above target without attaking, ships making indefinite circle to attempt to change formation from line abreast to line ahead...) Beside this, the game as some hilarious and ridiculous flaws : - distance from Pearl to Midway : 1150 nm. A Carrier TF cruising at 30 kn should reach Midway in 1,5 days. In the game, it takes almost 4 weeks to travel from Hawai to Midway - Aircraft can conduct operations ( Air Surface, Air Naval, Air-Air Attacks or Recon flight ) at nignt... At night in early 1942 ???... - A flight of Dauntless lanched at 8.00 am reached its taget 280 nm away at nightfall... - Amphibious assault can be conducted by DD flotillas provided the target port has been souted... - Hold the ports and you'll win the war... Seriously ? Should have been a good apetizer game rather than a simulation/wargame but it even failed to achieve this...
