Sea Power

The main reason I am interested is they plan on using Tacview for recordings. Something I have wanted in CMO forever. You can kind of kludge it in CMO today with some limitations.

So I picked up Sea Power and I just wanted to share my thoughts, since I have a lot of hours in CMO.

First of all, the graphics are awesome. Hats off to the designers, they really did a great job in a getting those 3D models in the game. I will open a scenario just to look at the units. Seeing South African Mirage F1s cruising at high altitude over Madagascar is breathtaking.

Secondly, it is quite easy to jump into. The UI is fairly straight forward and if you know CMO then you should be able to play the game without any problems.

But... the game itself is kind of bare bones. A lot of scenarios seem to be almost instant head on collision between opposing forces, and the accuracy of the missiles/bombs seem much too high when compared to what we are used to in CMO. So a lot of the game at the moment seems to be a great graphic spectacle but not too much actually game play. Now, I dont know whether that it because the designers are aiming for a lot of action from the get go, or because it is due to the fact that the AI cannot really do anything else than go full attack against enemies that are revealed early in the scenario.

I am sure it will improve, and I havent yet tried the steam workshop where a lot of the scenario setup will probably be corrected.

Hopefully they will work out the kinks of the next months/years and we will have a good game, with some beautiful graphics (and wouldnt it be great if CMO could get access to the Sea power graphics in the same way as with Tacview )
