Naval Hurricane

I regret to be the only recent naysayer, but there is nothing in this game to even mildly model how German and British gunnery control operated in 1914. The player receives no rangefinding data before opening fire. RIDICULOUS! The rangefinding in the navies could be iffy for initial fire (especially for the Royal Navy with its short-based rangefinders), but no information, at all, is given to the player/gunnery officer. There is no firing on the roll, this is shooting when the ship is on the upward of its roll, not downward, in fact, these miraculous ships do not roll at all. Basically, this is a hunt and shoot children's toy with none of the real fire control procedures modeled. 1914 Naval gunnery was not just shooting into the blue, and then ranging up or down based on the fall of shot. This is far from Atlantic Fleet's basic modeling of mid-20th century naval gunnery control, which was a superior toy, but toy never the less. This item is just a toy, and I see no sign of it rising above this level. My interest level is 0.

If you want to heat your room with your graphics card run this. It's in the Star Citizen club of unoptimised games. I really like it but it's running very hot and sounds like a jet engine on a 3070 and I'm worried something will melt. Game play is good even with limited ships. Basically duels are all you can do, no real big fleet stuff like Jutland but squadron level is great. Also it doesn't scale beyond 3 ships as the turns take too long so it makes sense to limit the force size. Fun toy for cold weather. I prefer it to Atlantic fleet but not as good as War on the Sea. The damage model is great, same with the effects, shell travel is great, splashes it's got a lot going for it. The UI is easy to use and its great when you dial in the enemy and let got several tight salvos. I found HE does more damage than AP, or at least HE has an effect when you hit. Good naval sim.

Good game with interesting gameplay mechanics (like the ballistic table and the use of primary and secondary batteries separately) and a very good price. The main handicap of the game is the absence of campaigns and more countries to choose. If the developer, in adition to a future "Atlantic First World War Campaign" with UK and Germany as selectables factions, would add to the game some other campaigns like "Russo-Japanese War", "First Sino-Japanese War", "Hispano-American War 1898" or a Mediterranean Theater ("Italy versus Austria" or "Turkey versus Greece") would be much better and more attractive to other players. In any case, this game is a "must have" for anyone who loves naval games and especially turn-based ones like "Atlantic Fleet"

Not at all a simulator. Kind of an attempt at Atlantic Fleet but with no mechanics. Don't tell me damage control is detailed, or a mechanic when all I do is select from auto, auto maneuver or auto weapons. The gunnery is ludicrous, with your main guns firing two salvos back to back as soon as one hits fire, which was impossible. It was like playing chess with pawns only and an old monopoly piece that didn't belong on the board. Needs lots of time to cook. In the meantime I'll go back to Atlantic Fleet or UA: Dreadnoughts.

Enjoyable game, good graphics particularly like the damage control, very similar to Atlantic Fleet.

Game has great potential, hope they add more realistic sinking's, hole's, detail's etc!

This is an excellent naval gunnery title. If you've ever played "Atlantic Fleet", it's like that on steroids. It makes a great relaxation game. Being turn-based, you can control the pace and get up and get a cup of coffee between turns. The graphics are decent (use the nVidia app) and everything works as it should. Highly recommended for those who like naval warfare!
