Mines...are they really necessary?

I understand this game strives for historical accuracy and is classified as a sim. However, mines. What value does it add to the historic / sim / game experience with these mine dialogs that pop up so often. I might be missing something but the only way to mitigate is put on minesweeping gear on DDs ...

Yes, the AI (after it guesses/estimates a launch has been made) will take evasive actions for a period of time based on its best estimate of time-to-target from the launch point that it inferred. It will also (occasionally) make course changes at random even if it is not 'confident' that a ...

Routinely outnumbered, even with more or equal ships

I've noticed, I rarely outnumber my foe, even if I have more or equal ships in theatre. In contrast, the foe outnumbers me more often than not, or has equal numbers. I understand, this is to simulate change encounters and you can't always have your best and biggest and most ships during these ...

Re: Battle question.

OMG, this!! Love the game, but there really should be SOPs of some kind that the AI can follow. Keep speed of enemy ship, stay at such and such a range, and so on. The AI is better than most games but always room to improve!

How to cancel the location choice in Setup Strike screen

As title states. I've tried everything, searching manual, mashing keys, clicking buttons. Once I click the location button, it is there for eternity. Unless I chose another location, even if I don't want to select a target that way, I am still stuck with a location as a target and I'm asked if I ...

Re: AI Torpedo Evasion...Impressive!


I am glad you enjoy the game @vonwike1 - thanks!

Just a quick note: The code for the AI only reacts to your ship maneuvers; it never, ever reacts to actual torps in the water.

Thanks!


I am compelled to revisit this topic. As to the AI reacting to torps in the water or identified launches. I ...

Re: Frequency Non-Player Nations at War


It is of course a balancing act overall, and quite possibly we have/may make adjustments from time-to-time if things seem not quite right.

Thanks!


Thank you for responding to my post! I recently started a German playthrough. I continued with my tension building ways and noticed a rather ...

AI Torpedo Evasion...Impressive!

One playthrough in particular, I'm playing Japan. Ship design is dedicated to maximize torpedo output. A cruiser class in particular, emphasizes speed and torps. I fill the seas with fast advanced torps, the little black blips blister through the surf, fanning out, to leave no patch of ocean ...

Re: Frequency Non-Player Nations at War


When you get different options that can increase your budget for costs of increased tension what do you usually choose?


Hello! Thank you for responding to my post.

I always select +budget +tension for my choices. The only exception is if I feel I'm about to get dog piled by more than two ...

Frequency Non-Player Nations at War

Good morning!

I've binged a ridiculous amount on this game since it released. I've started several playthroughs, different nations, mostly Japan, I've gotten to Mid 1920s on a few of my on-going games.

In all of these games I've noted that the world is full of peace loving, friendly, un-warlike ...
