So did this become a "Carriers at War" remake, or is this one still planned as well?

Hello...
"Carriers at War" remake is being done by another develpment team. Carrier Force (UV Deleuxe) and Carrier Strike are being developed by 2x3 Games. We are working hard on them, right now.

Two comments:
1. Both UV and WitP have been incredibly popular despite bugs. I'm one of the few, I think, that tried WitP and didn't like it, preferring the intimacy of UV and relatively sane time required to play it. I like 2by3's plans.
2. Is that really a picture of Oleg?

Like others in this forum I would prefer that 2by3/Matrix start a War in the Mediterranean .
Though I am not a computer buff in any way I could see it using the UV/WPO or WiTP format/engine. I must say that I haven't played WitP as yet but I am currently enjoying playing WPO.
I am not too sure if the UV or WiTP format would be the most benificial or even if a "gamers mod" to convert from the existing system would be possible. Anyway I can't see why there has to be a UV "Deluxe" issue when a new game could be developed.

Whether it's the old Talonsoft games, like BoB or BtR, or the ones in question, if there aren't serious efforts at cleaning up the interface, then I'm not interested. The menuing systems are just too difficult to navigate and use, carpal-tunnel syndrome being what it is to the erstwhile wargamer. And that assumes that the developer is capable of putting out a product that is mature and ready for play when it's shipped. [X(]
I already own:
BoB
Btr
CS
UV
WitP
I play none of them. They're just too hard to use on the front-end, and too buggy as play progresses.
There's no reason for me to make any further purchases unless each is TRULY remade. I have no interest in "knock-offs" of the originals. If these words are harsh, take comfort in knowing that they're absolutely heartfelt and sincere. I wouldn't be doing the developers any favors by sugar-coating my thoughts on the subject, as an otherwise enthusiastic consumer of all this stuff.

You have got to be kidding me................Do not take this wrong, but how old are you? I grew up messing with DOS games all the way to here. So I guess I am just used to the interfaces. I do not find BOB, BTR, UV, or WITP to be hard, overly buggy (all complicated games have some bugs) or anything else. I have only heard someone say the same thing as you if they are young (16-25) or professional programers.
But, I am a "grognard" and they have yet to make a game that can overwhelm me. Micromanagment is my trade.[:D]

UV is small in scope? You never would've said that prior to WITP! Many people see the manual for UV and back off due to it's size. I know WITP's is even larger, but don't lose sight of what UV was when it was new as there wasn't a game around that offered what it did.
