Clearly you are delusional for thinking this level of naval combat is new and amazing for the SF2 series. Per the SimHQ review, this game brings almost nothing new to the table and has too many bugs to justify $30

If you are looking for a game that lets you fly an F-14 against Bears, Backfires, and Forgers, or an A-7 agaisnt surface actions groups, clearly this sim is for you. The bugs can be annoying, but clearly didn't prevent you from enjoying the bulk of what the new game delivers. I find this AAR much more indicative of what this game accomplished than the review. Good job!
