Carrier Battles 4 Guadalcanal - Pacific War Naval Warfare

Coming from a WitP:AE background I was hesitant to jump in, as the depth of the game seemed to be a bit shallower, but in the end it was a very positive disappointment. Not only is it not shallow it offers a lot of tactical choices and is a fairly good representation of carrier action and early scenarios of the Pacific war in general (haven't got the DLCs just yet). Also the game offers a lot of guides o it's not too difficult to grasp the mechanism and gameplay. I've played through the Santa Cruz scenario in about 2-3 hours, so it is just the right amount if you don't want to go the whole distance and play a WitP like full grand scenario. If you want a good, fast paced tactical carrier warfare game look no further. To offer some constructive criticism the damage to ships both from airstrikes and surface battles are a bit on the too random side, especially japanese DDs like/tend explode pretty often from their torpedo batteries getting hit. Also I think aircraft sub types would be nice to have (this is just maybe as a future improvement).

I love it! Streamlined, easy to play, tense with lots of suspense. Great wargame! Very well-designed scenarios covering key air and naval operations from the Pacific theater. I would love to see the full Operation Cartwheel campaign from Guadalcanal in the summer of 1942 to the capture of the Admiralty Islands in the spring of 1944, which finally sealed Rabaul's fate. Maybe the scope is too large for this game, but the complete Solomon Island campaign, covering the island hopping from Guadalcanal to New Georgia to Vella Lavella, to Bougainville, and finally to the Admiralty Islands, and all its associated naval and air operations, would be a perfect capstone. Although I recognize that it may be too big for the focus of this game, that would be my dream scenario. :)

nice game

I like it.

The first thing I noticed is that this game is not playable without an internet connetion. There should be a big banner across the store page warning potential buyers about this kind of business practice. All your saves are on the cloud and not on your computer. Your abiility to play is dependant on someone elses computer. The second thing I noticed is that the game is built on unity engine.

作为一个游戏时长超过1000h的忠实玩家，我不得不说，尽管存在不少细节问题（一些是游戏机制和数值上的，一些是中文翻译），游戏本身（作为一款电子棋）仍然相当有趣。侦察索敌——放出攻击波——期待攻击结果（甚至可以开启真实战争迷雾dlc，被大本营战报迷惑头脑），游戏确实让我们仿佛化身弗莱彻或南云忠一。甚至可以在机库里鱼雷换炸弹、炸弹换鱼雷，并在甲板/机库上堆满整备好/整备中的飞机，使自己的航母在仅吃一枚炸弹的情况下就因为飞机连环爆炸化为一团火球，让游戏成为真正的南云忠一模拟器......IJN水面舰队夜间突入铁底湾，在炮击机场前与USN的守卫舰队来一场激烈的水面交战，通过93雷的鱼雷突袭取得决定性的优势...... 总而言之，CB4G让玩家在1942-1944年的大量可选剧本（真实战役，或者可能发生的战役）中进行选择，在西太平洋/西南太平洋甚至印度洋进行一场为期三天的大海战。我推荐任何对二战海军感兴趣、对wargame感兴趣的人尝试这款游戏。

This is fantastic, especially multi player vs a human!

As a wargame set in the Pacific theater of World War II, it surprisingly features solid game mechanics and well-crafted scenarios. Although there are still issues with some stats and mechanics (for example, the Japanese Ki-100 fighter is given a higher air combat rating than the F6F Hellcat, which is absurd), I believe it is already one of the best products of its kind on the steam.

You cannot advertise multiplayer, when multiplayer is this utterly broken. I mean the interface doesnt even make the slightest sense. I lack words..

Boa simulação das Batalhas navais do Pacífico. Falta um editor e uma campanha. 8/10
