Matrix release

Post by Titanwarrior89 »

Bought the game when Matrix released it. The doesn't seem very real or historical with some of its out comes.

Such as one complete TG(16.1) (11 or 12 ships ) all sunk! Kind of out there, don't you guys think.

Oh well, not putting the game down, just my thoughts on the combat results.[&:]

I'm not sure what the problem is. Carriers at War models the possible rather than the actual, otherwise every scenario would just be a replay of historical events.

Given the lethality of aircraft vs ship combat, then sinking all the ships in a TG was a possibility, even if it didn't actually happen in the limited number of historical engagements.

You will find that most of the time, some ships in a TG will get away, it just can't be guaranteed.

Ok, that I can understand. I don't need the same histoical losses. Just want them in the ball park. But your answer makes sence. Thanks for your response.[:)]
