War on the Sea

there should be a 2 player button for the custom battles so that way when you designate a side as blue or red, the two will attack each other, but the player can use both, but the thing will be different to be the same as the side that you want to play as, sort of like in atlantic fleet, and add more pacific fleet ships from the us and the japanese, and make it so the carriers can launch and land aircraft on command rather than at the beginning of the thing before it starts, and make the ships more detailed, add like the atlantic fleet german ships, more british ships, more american, add some of the classes that were at pearl harbor like the pennsylvania only for custom, the versions that got sunk only for the custom battles, and make the ones that were used after able to be used in more missions, also make different models for each different ship in that class to make them look better and add troop ships, hospital ships, make some ships that can resupply ammo for the fleet, and make the very easy difficulty make it so you and the enemy have unlimited ammo, and make the game have some of the effects from atlantic fleet, and some german u boats, british battleships, more american ones, more japanese ones, make some of the ships that were never actually built like the lexington battlecruiser for custom battles, cuz if you can make 3 million yamatos that never even had a fraction of that number into a custom, then you should be able to put in some of the ones that never actually existed

This is the best Naval combat sim I've played in a log time, setting up formations and battle lines with all sorts of diffrnt ships is great, I also recommend the tokyo mod that adds soo much stuff.

I've been waiting for this game to go on sale for a while now, and it finally did. I wish I knew how much fun it would be, or I would've purchased it earlier. I like games similar to this: Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts, and Sea Power, but this one, I think, is a good in between, where you get the accuracy and stunning visuals similar to Sea Power, but a more interesting warship era (at least for a WW2 nut like me), and a fully functional campaign. The difference from a missile era to torpedoes and explosives makes the combat a lot riskier and less decisive, making every encounter unique. And when you finally do manage to sink that enemy prize ship, it feels so rewarding! I only wish the base game campaign map were larger, and the goals were more spread out over time. I feel like I blew through the US side of the campaign before even getting to utilize the 1943 vessels. Luckily, this game is supposed to have a fairly strong modding scene, with larger campaigns that I'm excited to try out next. Overall, I would highly recommend this if you enjoy naval fleet management games. Especially if you are at all interested in the WW2 theater. The powerful mix between aircraft, surface ship, and submarine warfare is hard to beat or find elsewhere.

Still clunky and problematic after all these years. Came back to see if it improved, saving a game doesn't even work.... nope.

You need mods for a full experience... get on sale. Too expensive.

8/10 would create the Greater Asian co-prosperity Sphere again

Im only 3 hours in (the tutorial) but am surely impressed. Far more realistic than Victory at Sea, or Atlantic Fleet. I have spent so much time just playing with the different options learning how to control my planes, and subs and ships. So much to learn. So much to play with. I have been looking for a grand strategy ship game that had some great visuals and control in tactical battles, and I am really happy so far. I will update if I find issues further in. For sure worth the $12 I paid on sale.
