<t>happy as is really...<br/>
But it would be nice to have a more isometric view or maybe even topdown where you saw manuevers and fire/torps.... doing what the reports reflected.<br/>
Then it seems you are watching a battle in realtime.<br/>
I know historically you would have had a scrap of paper ...

I haven't heard back from the first poster for awhile now... how about we just start a game amongst ourselves.<br/>
Pick your side. We can play with 100% historical realism, sub doctrine off for japanese and 100% replacements schedule or however you feel comfortable...<br/>

I'm thinking of the naval war sim Harpoon and its offspring where you could define ROE and a specific kind of patrol zone... asw/asuw/aaw etc etc... If we could design a TF, assign the commander and then assign a patrol zone (like we pretty ...
