Arctic Circle takes place in 2030.

Command will have databases from post WWII through the near future.

Artic Circle and Command are hardly similar games, unless I am missing something. Artic Circle is definately "wargame" lite - admitted concession to fun over reality, but nice graphics that should be fun to watch (ala Fleet Command). Command looks more like something along the lines of Haroon; i.e. full-real war simulator, but light on the "lite" fun.

Correction noted. My brain is still seeing Artic Circle as the new Fleet Command. Still, these games are for those needing to fill that naval sim need. Don't think I'd enjoy command. Don't have the inclination or time to learn something like that.

And 3 more:

Nice, lovely 'cat.

Just, I keep thinking water looks a tad too plasticky. Dunno, I suppose the reflections should get less and less detailed the farther they are...

Mah, probably it's me.

Still looks quite nice.

No I see what you mean Komemiute. I think the new water looks great but it does sort of have that look. Maybe because it sort of looks like the TW engine glued onto Dangerous Water's water engine. But I still think it looks great and will be a welcome upgrade to TW's current water.

I saw a picture with a Hawkeye. Do you think we'll get at least simple radar support from them? I miss those little mfds you used to be able to pull up in USNF. Although we have full pits now with working instruments unlike USNF.

My hope is that we can get data-link targets on the F-14 radar screen (sent by the Hawkeye) which happened in the real F-14.

Don't forget the fact that TK makes lite sim's. Looking at these new pic's, this is starting to look up, I love the details on the ship's, but adding to any wish list, in addition to the data-link, how about a functioning Rio with weapons mode capability, Same with the A6 Intruders as BN's. Man, Just thinking about a multi-player with this...well it would make SF2NA flat out awesome, Anyone care to chime in with idea's. All this off course in my perfect sim world.

I'm going to love this.

This is EXACTLY what I used to love about modern aviation. Yeah the first Hornets on top: will have to download those.
