BTW, RTW2 will be introducing aircraft carriers into the game dynamics. Should be AWESOME!

Will hopefully review this once released.

Developer blog has me very excited.

I'm looking forward to RTW 2. RTW is a great game.

Looking forward to it too, hopefully for the Pacific Campaign.

Back in the day (2015?) I had a email exchange with the programmers re “how to manage aircraft carriers” in RTW. My suggestion was to take a leaf from HPS’ Midway 42, and its excellent reconstruction of air operations in real time (from turning into the wind to spotting, to circle while the squadron was forming, to attack and/or interception, up to landing... maybe at the wrong moment, when the carrier was about to very urgently spot another wave...) I’m curious to see what they did in the end.

Meanwhile, a YT video that shows Midway 42 and why I hope it was a source of inspirations:

I'd buy this game in a second if they had a "sandbox mode" to allow you to play battles without a campaign, but without it don't think so. Will definitely keep an eye on it though!

I believe RTW uses the same combat system as Steam and Iron which I think has individual battles you can fight. However, I'm not 100% sure on all that because I don't own SaI. However, you can check it out here to see if the game is something you would be interested in:

Then you want Steam and Iron.

I play-tested HPS Midway. I thought it was a lot of fun and showed how critical management was in air battles.

Midway 42 is literally nail-biting... When you know that the enemy strike is inbound and you are behind the “arm, spot, turn into the wind, launch” cycle you just feel what people like Spruance or Nagumo felt...

...impotence.

Is a WWII version in the works? If so then you're probably right...

Not that I know of. But you always play the old Action Stations! in a browser.

This is a great game. I'm not even a naval warfare can either.

I do wish though they had a campaign start date of start of WW2. That way see aircraft carriers sooner.

Or mini campaigns say the Pacific War.

Great, a demo to try, love it, will try

Question,

Is this a difficult game to play?

Oh man, opened the demo and had no clue on what to do
