Unfortunately the game is buggy and I have not had a reply from the listed email for reporting the bugs. The error messages are all seem to be in Czech.3 found this helpful
This is a really bad game. Not only is there no attempt to have any sort of historical realism, but the scenarios are hopelessly unbalanced and there's no difficulty setting. Winning a scenario on the first try is simply impossible and even on the twentieth try is still ridiculously difficult. This is the classic game "Battleship's" mutant child and it's really ugly.3 found this helpful
Played this game as a kid with my dad got me into RTS it's just like how i remembered it (and better with all of the additional animations) it's great2 found this helpful

Great Edutainment! Learn the different stages and actual maps of the Pacific War, and the actual ships involved. Air strikes do not get shot down in-air, but that's not the point. The point is the maps, the order of battle, and learning of why such large and diverse fleet configs and radar / detection were so necessary and hard during WW II. I'm using this to familiarize the Battle of Leyte Gulf, which is key to a story about my GrandUncle Lt Gen Macario Peralta, who was 2nd in Command under MacArthur. The sinking of the Japanese mega-Battleships Yamato and Mushashi (largest ever built) was largely made possible due to him and his Resistance Network, w cyphered comms. Use this for the maps and order of battle, and other games for RTS cutscenes of subs and torpedoes.1 found this helpful
Very interesting to buy appropriate units and upgrades depending on each mission, you would quickly surpass the enemy. But it gets boring not to see any Japanese ship's image. Please update Japanese carriers instead of using the same icon for US and IJN carriers.
