In praise of the game.

Cheers for your comments Turbosatan,

Please note, I still think there is room for improvement, but in light of CA's public commitment, then there is not more you can ask of a company providing you with a 50 to 75$ investment. They will get this game resolved to a very high level because their business model depends on it. I think a lot of people forget that.

Given the time taken to develop this patch (and I'm frustrated as hell right now), I'd say it will make quite a substantial difference in how the game plays, and will place them much closer to completion than we give them credit for.

In the end, and given this is CA's "first" attempt at naval battles, then they have done a wonderful job. Even more thought provoking is their long term strategy. It could be quite a planned event to make the naval action less realistic in this first version and save a more accurate simulation for the next game. Thus given the community time to get a feel for this part of the game.

Keep that in mind.
