I only press done for some ground battles (and hope for the patch to elaborate more on them). For me, especially the naval battles are the "salt in the soup" of the game - without them, everything would be too abstracted for my taste. .........

Do you really watch all of it when round after round P39s strafe your AK convoy? I watch a few shots the hit DONE.

But I do like all the animations - the fire from the machine guns of the airplanes - the flak explosions - the misses when bombs or shells hit near a ship - its all great. One exception though, and someone already mentioned it - when the sub is depth charged I reall don't care too much for the water fountain animation - should be more like flak without the smoke.

How about one more poll choice :

Leave them on, hit the done button only for unimportant battles.

Exactly what I do. My only wish is that the combat summaries could be more flushed out, so I could get more detail when I do hit "Done".

I do watch them most of the time, but wish they had some more detail. While trying to learn what works best for an attack it would be nice to see it "as it happens".

Hey, I never had P39s strafe my AK convoys, yet! But I'd watch it, yes indeed.

PS: I even think that if there were no battle animations at all in UV, then I would probably have gone back to WW2: War in the South Pacific, and to Carriers at War. What I find so fascinating about naval warfare is the actual ships and the airplanes. So, in naval games, even in the strategical ones, I absolutely want this "zooming in" on the action, and I always look forward to it when executing my turns.

I watch every battle, and yell, hoot, holler, and spill beer all over me. On the edge of my seat with every shot fired, and every plane downed. My wife thinks I'm nuts.

I tend not to watch the ground combat. It takes too long, and theres no pretty toy soldiers to see.

Then we'll have to get in a PBEM game so you can spend tedious minutes watching .50 cal mg hits on your AK.

Overall though I am much like you - the fact that individual planes (and pilots) and ships are involved fascinates me.

I watch most of them as I find it increases the tension, i dont watch the ground battles and bombardments as there is very little to them. The patch will probably increase the tension and
will increase their importance.
As a result im not sure where to cast my vote accurately so I will abstain:D
