“warboats from German, Russian and Allied forces in World War II”

Pedantic: Russia was part of the ‘Allied forces’

Battlestations Pacific is likewise also arcady, but thats just the kind of game it is. A hands on realtime strategy shooter thingy. If you didn’t like Midway for that reason, then I’d skip Pacific too.

Was that newest battlestations game any good in this regard? Battle Stations Pacific I believe? I got Battlestations Midway and didn't really care for it , it was too arcadic for me.

Blimey, this game has been in development for ever.

I know. I’m always astonished when I read that it hasn’t been abandoned.

I’m sure they started on this around the same time Silent Hunter 3 was released.

Actually it’s much older than that. web.archive.org has a page for this game dating back to August 2003, and one presumes that they had already been working on it for a while before that announcement.

That video indeed highlights the drama, special effects and other exciting aspects of naval battle. Though the graphics is not that spectacular, I’m pretty sure that whoever plays it will definitely experience a different thrill. Love it.

But will these knights of the sea be able to fight off the wolves of the pacific?

I rather liked the smoke plumes… some of them. Some others looked like those coming out of shot airplanes in Battlehawks. Strange.
Also: gliding Battleship at 1:09 to 1:20, Herr Kaleun!

Those pass for particle effects in 2009?

I really dislike how the gunfire has no visible affect on the ships or water. There are no blast ripples, and nary a boat bobbing. Looks more like ships on ice firing blasts of light. The soundtrack doesn’t help either, as it eliminates the gunfire sounds which might make them seem more meaty. I am dissapoint.

This is 2009 right? I thought we’d gone back ten years after watching that, but whatever floats your boat.
