This game is fun, but I still don't recommend it yet. By far my biggest gripe is that your allies are complete morons, both in combat and on the world map.
On the world map, Supplies are how you replenish ammo, torpedoes, repair kits, medkits, and fuel. Supplies are kept at allied bases, but you have no say which bases receive Supplies or how many. Allied convoys will take supplies from these bases and drive around the map aimlessly. You can't use these convoys to resupply unless it's a large convoy, which are very few. So, most of the Supplies on the map are inaccessible because your allies are hoarding them with no goal in mind, which forces you to stay close to the few bases that keep Supplies. Speaking of bases, most allied bases on the map are abandoned the majority of the time. Only a few of them keep Supplies on hand, and they're never near the front lines, so you're forced to stay in a small region of the map at all times or you'll run out of fuel.
In combat, your squadron that drives around with you is more of a hindrance than helpful. They never watch where they're going, so they'll frequently crash into you, which can cause either boat to capsize. If your boat capsizes, your entire crew falls off the boat including the captain, and if it rolls back over it'll drive away with no crew. If your allied boat capsizes, it sinks immediately.
While the allied boats in your squadron can be helpful with guns, they're next to useless with their torpedoes. If you let them aim and fire torpedoes themselves, it's almost always a miss. There's a way to tell your squadron when and where to fire their torpedoes, but they don't aim where you tell them to. Instead, they'll fire their torpedoes wherever their boat is aimed the moment you click the button, so those are always a miss unless you're very close to the enemy ships and driving straight towards them.
The game also has terrible performance. It doesn't look very good to begin with, having low quality textures and abysmal antialiasing, yet fps will tank as soon as guns start firing. During the most intense engagements, my fps drops from a locked 120 to below 30, even though CPU, GPU, and RAM utilization are below 30%. It's so bad that the gameplay actually slows down.
I'd really like to keep playing Boat Crew, but it's just so frustrating in its current state.
