You sunk my battleship...
The game tries too hard to be too many things.
The annoying logistics system throws off everything, and the hardest decision you'll have to make is either spending two hours mudding through a battle or hit the auto-battle and let whatever formula the game runs on save you time at the cost of nearly all your ships.
The AI is beyond stupid, sending ammo, oil, and random personnel where it really isn't needed.
The enemy AI constantly forgets to rearm its ships, and aircraft.
It almost seems like you have to be fair to the AI if you want to lose.
The battle sequences are distorted in the sense that it doesn't comply to normal naval combat during the era.
Carriers seem to be the most vulnerable at all times you can't launch a full air fleet as the game engine has a programmed limit.
Which means you won't need more then one carrier at a time.
The fighters, bombers, and dive bombers are shredded in seconds and it almost makes having carriers completely useless.
Why build a carrier when I can build submarines or battleships.
Subs seem to be the most effective in sniping anything including destroyers.
Makes sense that this would be the nature of the game, the developers are all Russian.
Further the graphics are 3rd rate, missing a lot of detail, and really if they had improved the graphics to a 2006 level you would have even more crashes to desktop. The in game battle sequences repeatedly crash from time to time. Theres a long feeling of disappointment after you've just sunk seventy ships in a sort of rock-paper-scissor battle system.
I do give alot of credit for trying to bring the pacific to life like such games as Pacific Theater of Operations and War in The Pacific but it doesn't come close to either unfortunately.
The sad part is if more time were spent on it and a larger team involved it would have had the chance to compete with developers like Paradox of Hearts of Iron fame.
Despite all the negatives the map is pretty and rotatable but even that is not the full scale of the pacific operations theater.
I wouldn't even buy it on a bargain, you'd be throwing your time away.
