Thank you Coot! Well, #%&*$# my previous answer disappeared in the ether, let me write another one. Yes, allowing for more flexibility in future expansions is one of the reasons why we're going for a strong full-fledged simulation of the whole environment instead of doing it the easy, simpler way. We want to make sure that, in the future, we might develop the gameplay horizontally (to new navies, new theaters, new eras) as well as vertically - upwards, to the operational or the strategic scale, but also downwards, to the platform level (that is the single-ship, single-plane scale). In that regard, an air combat module is high on the priority list, not the least because of 1942:the Pacific Air War's legacy (and the obvious and sweet history we claim to have with the MPS PTO naval series). Still, as you might know already, Dash has clearly stated a few times in the past that he might take his neighbor's kitten hostage until we eventually achieve an acceptable level of realism and simulation of surface combat. So, unless you find a way to send in a SWAT team through his kitchen's window or free them cute kitties yourself, we might have to give in to his cruel demands and make sure that our ships shoot straight and swing swell first. Then we'll worry about the air war further

iOS has Carrier Air Battles. I found it to be good.

This is looking great. Superb ship models. Looking forward to seeing this progress. Be interesting to see how ship AI developes. I am thinking of things like ships moving in fleet formation. Carriers turning upwind to launch/receive aircraft. Ships taking avoiding action, to avoid collision, torpedoes etc. Weaving and turning to make for a more difficult target for dive bombers. All these little tactical details will make this really great.

Hello everybody! A small update to say that we made a small devblog update. You gents will probably not find anything really new in there, as most of it is about a few important facts regarding what the game is, and what it isn't. But fear not, we inserted a few screens so that people wouldn't fall asleep to easily once they get hit by my wall of text ^^ This way --> https://drydockdreams.games/2019/10/26/making-waves/Hope you like them clouds S!

Very interested in the game. Hope it gets some form of coop but it will be what it is I guess. One of the few games Im looking forward to.

Have you guys run into any issues licensing the grumman pacific theater planes? Several of the flight simulation companies refused to do pacific theater stuff because of the issues with the planes being litigation magnets. As for the pics. Just make a discord channel for your game, upload them to discord and hotlink straight from discord.
