So I've spent about 5 hours total between PT Boats and South Gambit at this point. There are certainly some issues with the stock game in terms of realism, mission design, etc. but it certainly is fun and rewards good lateral thinking. The most interesting part of it all, is that the game is basically built on a sandbox naval engine. A good mod team could easily create an PTO mod that has US PT boats and their Japanese counterparts, and do so with a very high degree of accuracy and granularity in simulation. For that matter some tweaking to the stock game, can easily fix/improve a lot of areas. There are already a lot of little things that you don't see in other sims, that are here. In a close chase of an enemy MTB that you have to prevent from escaping? Drop your depth charges and fire your torpedoes to get rid of the weight, you'll gain speed as the boats weight decreases.
Overall well worth the $14.99 I paid for the pair, and an enjoyable experience.
