You're quite right. The problem is I think is the question of identity and expectation. Now I've no experience of naval games/sims, but from what I've been reading here, there is a desire for something with the flexibility of a naval version of a Combat Flight Sim. I've only got the free demo, and am still getting used to the game play, but I have read a lot of books about British Coastal forces. Their operations are really more suited to Combat Flight Sim scenario as they operated in small numbers, rarely mixing with other naval units. In larger 'tactical' operations they often ended up being cannon fodder against larger ships.
