A lot of false info in that review. You can turn off the labels. Sorry, but you are mistaken. You can turn off the Datablocks, but not the radar reports, time of contact, etc that clutter the screen. For everything else, it seemed like he cherry picked instances in that it failed and focused on those instead of the whole picture. In the scenarios I played, airbases always worked out fine. I'm confused about what he's trying to say about "Hold Fire" for AI. You don't need to do all of that. I really don't know why there would be more than 100 ships in the scenario, as that's really only why the issue would be applicable. And why would you not want to kill any inbound missiles in the first place? Just because something worked for you, does not mean it works for everyone i.e. airbases clogged. It is a KNOWN bug that has already been acknowledged by the developers, themselves, and is hoped to be fixed in the upcoming patch. Yes, you do need to 'do all of that' to have your units hold fire. There is no other way. If you care to offer details as to how it can be done, I'll be happy to try it. However, I can find no other way. Others have tried and only managed to embarass themselves. http://grogheads.com/forums/index.php?topic=4065.msg190123#msg190123Why not kill inbound missiles? There are many possible reasons that I've already seen: 1) They are going to miss anyway 2) They are heading for a target already dead 3) They are heading for an escort and you wish to save your weapons to protect the carrier and on, and on. The point is, the commander needs to have his commands obeyed. He's playing the game. Not the AI.

If I'm supposed to shell out $65 or something outrageous like that for a game I'd expect, nay, demand that any reviews looked critically at the game even if it means fanbois get angry.
*Edit: And if this review indeed was taken down because fanbois or Matrix complained about it then that casts into serious doubt the integrity of the site.

So the review is gone?
"cherry picked instances where it failed"...are those off limits in reviews then? They pulled it. Probably for good reason, the reviewer seems to have a "history" with the makers, which isn't exactly good for someone reviewing a product.

You can turn off the Datablocks, but not the radar reports, time of contact, etc that clutter the screen. pardon my ignorance, but is there any workaround to turn off the big black datablock attached to the mouse cursor? I asked this question in the matrix forum, but they said it not possible to turn it off in-game. (still a complete newb to the game and naval games in general)

I got here too late to read the review. how does the review process work at SimHQ? did SimHQ not vette(sp) the reviewer about any biases or did the reviewer neglect to mention any biases before taking on the review? just curious....

It is impossible to remove or cover the Big Black Box of Death from the screen. :-) It's annoying to always have to move it out of the way to see some detail underneath.

That shouldn't matter Tank Hunter. Regardless of history - it's his review. If they wanted to challenge that review then they are free to do so but to have it removed smacks of - well - you decide.
A review is a review. It might not be fair. It might be biased. But it is one persons take on the game. It's no different really to film/broadway reviews. It can and where it can, SHOULD be challenged. But this wasn't. It was just dismissed and that's annoying and disappointing. I just can't see it being a good thing. Look at all the reviews on Amazon for instance on books dealing with politics. You get alot of "bad" and "good" reviews there, not because the book is good or bad, but because of the individual's view on the message being put forward. With that its just a difference in opinion, imagine if personal animus becomes a factor? Again, I can't see anything positive coming from it.

BBBoD! haha hopefully, we can see a patch where the BBBoD can be turned OFF/ON by the player.
