War on the Sea

Another game with so much potential and a lot done right, but then the final details are messed up. Example: - Aircraft can not detect submarines at the strategic map (where subs will be surfaced 98% of the time), but aircraft can detect submarines at the tactical map...even when they are submerged - Submarine placement is wonky: subs in perfect ambush position at the strategic map will suddenly not be near their target in tactical combat, and vice versa - After engaging an enemy group, they will vanish from the strategic map for a certain amount of time, no matter how many recon aircraft are overhead. That makes air attacks in multiple waves almost impossible and makes no sense. - Japanese Zeros can easily shoot down American B17 Flying Fortress in close formation without much worry about the massive defensive fire of the many turrets. But American Wildcats are regularly shoot down when they engage an Japanese Scout Sea Plane with a single MG at the back, Engagements between surface units are really fun, especially due to the detailed damage control. But since it's a historical accurate simulation, they rarely happen in campaign mode. It's more "Air war on the Sea". PS: In my eyes, the game would be much better with turn based combat at the strategic map like in the Total War Series. That would solve a lot of issue right from the start.
