Fantastic game with fun physics on the water with plenty of weapons and different aiming styles! Swarm an air craft carrier fleet with torpedo boats then flee, smash land defenses with rockets and mortars, go head to head with destroyers with your front mounted howitzer, face off against dozens of enemy zeroes and dive bombers, command a fleet of destroyers and bombard your enemy from a distance. A bit of a learning curve as the tutorials are a bit lack luster but its well worth it.

Base Game: Games decent fun albeit lacking in the ships department but still sinking large vessels is satisfying EXP Build: Yeah just dont bother. Torp Range Nerf made small torps useless new Ship has nothing to engage with that wont just get you killed (You have to close to 3k to even begin engaging and by that point your already bracketed with enemy rounds and you're so slow you cant dodge anything) And by the point you get it your fighting multiple destroyers which at 3k with guns is su*cide. My advice? Wait till either they Re-buff small torps to not be useless or until the Subchaser gets actual guns to engage with. Conclusion: Base games fine if not lacking content but the EXP build Needs ALOT of work to get it back to the enjoyable state it was in as the Torp Nerfs dont add anything to gameplay, and the New ship costing 30k and then getting nothing really out of it really sends a negative message to players who wanted some bigger ships to engage with.

I can say with certainty that i love this game and there are a ton of things that make this game really enjoyable, including the squadron mechanic, which makes you feel like you are in command of your own unique raider group. However there are also a lot of problems. i will say that the AI for the larger ships you can have is questionable. having destroyers or a tender with you is awesome and for a PT group is more of a force exponent than multiplier. But the AI for those larger ships needs improvement, The AI seem to prefer to more or less sit there and take any artillery, bombs or gunfire the Japanese throw at it instead of even attempting evasion. meaning most times with a John. C or bigger ship, you will get into one engagement and lose it, and suddenly you've just wasted 40,000 RP. The assault mechanic is an interesting take on a classic game of tug of war although again, theres some major room for improvement, again on the AI side. it works by you and your group raiding enemy defenses in order to trigger one normally, but often times allied AI will send an incredibly under powered force to take it. requiring you to almost always directly intervene in order to get it done. Allied units will also, often start attacks on already weak garrisons on their own, but often with no rhyme or reason. literally in the middle of enemy territory, where a near immediate counterattack happens and that assault group is suddenly wasted, Assault groups also take a very long time to prepare, even if the group that is sent is extremely under powered for the attack they are about to make. Random skirmishes also can get frustrating, because a friendly forces with significantly higher power levels than whatever theyre being attacked by will struggle to shrug off their attackers, and may even start to literally lose. Except, again. when you yourself intervene. Friendlies will near instantly defeat whatever attacked them, meaning that again. power is randomly wasted on the most pointless things. This game is FUN, if you are a naval nerd or a fan of bomber or space crew, i guarantee you'll love this. For those who are skeptical though, wait until the AI is more optimized. thats more or less the only problem i see with this game.

If you liked both Waves of Steel and the original Victory at Sea, as different as those things are, then safely buy this, you'll definitely like it. It's definitely still WIP, but there's plenty there to enjoy as of writing this. Plus, I love the faces.
