I think this speaks for itself and it's only a very small spectator beta so I didn't really feel the need to inject myself into this too much. The game has a surprising amount of detail for a real time strategy game. Things bode well for this game and I am really looking forward to it.

I added this game on 21.08.2020 on my steam wishlist. "Sea Power: Naval combat" on 03.11.2020. Finally seeing some progress. I am interested in Japan culturally, in japanese WW2 history, basicly all naval warfare (I am pretty good on WoWs :) ), so those are games for me, better to have been released yesterday. "War on the Sea" is very nice too. At least, we see something flying in the Pacific haha

They're not the same Micropose, it's just some dude who bought their IP and name.

One of my favorite games growing up was 1942 Pacific Air War. It was a sim that had a rudimentary wargame built on it. Coincidentally published by Microprose back in 1994. If this game is successful I would love for them to develop it as a series, add a flight sim into it and develop a true successor to that game.

Damn the level of detail in this holy shit

Yeah it's actually really surprising how much detail there is for a strategy game. It's fun to just watch them fly around and fight. It should be a blast when you can control them.

I definetely will be getting this ....Cant wait for Combat Pilot to come out as well fpor some Pacific fun

The level of detail is amazing. I tried playing War on the Sea, even modded, first day into the campiagn, B-17s spotted the Yamato, did one high altitude level bombing run and the Yamato exploded and sank after 2 bombs hit. That shattered my immersion so hard i didnt touch it again. This on the other side, looks to be a similar game, but oh boy does it look nice and realistic. Now if the stratigic part is also as well made and at least somewhat complex, might be exactly my game.

Also, I am not sure what you mean exactly by "strategic". If you mean macro strategy like commanding the navy in one large play from coral sea to midway to the solomons, than it will not have that. The game will be limited to a series of scenario in which you will play within that scenario till either the timer runs out and if you meet some objectives (I am actually not familiar with how they will determine when a scenario ends, that is just my speculation). What I do know is that there will be a lot of them, all battles which featured carriers from 1941 to January 1943 and that the game will feature various ways to change those scenarios'. Think of it as you have a series of folder labeled "Midway" "Coral Sea" Marshall Islands Raid" that will have sub scenarios' in them. So your Midway scenario folder would have "What if Zuikaku made it to Midway with a new Airgroup?" "What if Coral Sea never happened so all of Carrier Div 5 was their but you get Lexington?" "What if Japan didn't send its smaller carriers out separately so Zuihou and Ryujo are present too?". Then you can factor in a other small changes like weather changes of perhaps a Japanese schedule change and can also change the radio security of your own forces and the Japanese. All of this can also be put into a randomizer to make scenarios' you have no prior knowledge of. They also don't plan to make this a stand alone game. They intend to make new volumes (I don't know what those would look like whether it be a DLC or entirely separate games" which feature horizontal (You can now play as Japan or Britain or play in different timespans) or vertical (Campaign mode, more broad control of more fleets, more minute control over forces) expansions.

@@carrier-buff Thanks for taking the time to write all this out. It was informative.

Looks great. Can't wait.

This looks very sweet. I see a lot of b/w content incoming that will be hard to tell from real world footage. After this, please on to a surface vessle battle simulator in TF 1942 style, please.

Quite a handsome game - definitely agree with you on the flak comment

I really would love to see a pacific sim mixed with an RTS like this...

Game looks really good. Saw a preview on another channel, and I have to repeat the comment I made there. The visual details are fantastic, and the level of modeling of the ships and aircraft is impressive, and I'm not just talking about visual appearance. I mean systems modeling, damage effects and so on. But the lack of crew on the ships really kills the immersion for me. At the very least, they should be able to put figures in the AA gun tubs. Looking forward to seeing more about it.

cant waite to play this Game

pew pew pew

Do you think they will allow you to take over in 1st or 3rd person view (basically jump in individual plane positions) like they did back in the 90s with 1942 Pacific Air War. I think that was also a Micropose Game. If so, I will be picking this game up as I have fond memories of that game.

I am really hoping this turns into a pacific version of Graviteam tactics.

would like to see more

Could be great if we gonna see models of humans , giving directions to the planes in the carries and also see manned operating AA :) I hope devs gonna add this :) Feels more realistic :)

Would love to see the AI programmers on this share notes with the Combat Pilot team, the fact that the AI in this can thatch weave is great.

Battlestations Midway/Pacific, all dolled up & with more units, that's win in my book. That said, It's been on my wishlist for almost 3 years now... I'm more than ready, though interest may be waning if I'm honest.

The simple truth is the team making it is really small but they obviously care about detail so it will probably be worth the wait.

@@Enigma89 Man, that sucks. I hope you a feeling better now, and thanks for getting us this early look while being sick. I am really looking forward to seeing how this game continues to develop. It looks really good so far and like you and others mentioned, they are modeling a lot of cool details and mechanics I wasn't expecting, so that's super cool.

Microprose is the kind, I swear.

I wish they'd do something like this for sea power. Virtually no news about that game in years.

Level of detail is staggering already. Better audio would make it perfect.

Damn, a game wirh actual scale, DCS and IL-2 devs should be paying attention.
