Downloaded and played the demo for a game I had high hopes for. I was hoping for and expecting something like Silent Hunter 4, but with PT boats....but after doing the "tutorial" I am sadly disappointed and left shaking my head with lots of questions. For instance....why can I only see the enemy ships 1200 meters out on a clear day? Why do I have to be within rock throwing distance to "identify" them with binoculars? Why do I have to sink the enemy PT boats before I can attack the merchants (and why am I not told that)?? And figuring out the torpedos was not exactly easy either....
Beyond that, I am disappointed in the overall feel of the game....the lack of a sensation of speed when going full throttle, the pitiful damage and sinking effects....when you torpedo a ship, you are rewarded with a small waterspout, and the ship sinks...no fire or smoke, no break up, no variation in the sinking...
And finally....even if all the above were fixed....this game would need a mission editor to be be a viable product. This feels like it was rushed out the door half done....I would love to have a PT sim, and if it ever lives up to its potential I will be first in like to buy it....but not like it is now....not even from the bargain bin.
