Any good naval combat games?

Post by clone1051 »

Are there any good non-sub ones? I know there's a PT boat game coming out sometime this year, but is there anything already available?

I hope there's is a naval combat game where the controls will be as easy as the one we see in battlefield 1942.

If you can put up with broken gameplay mechanics, crappy singleplayer and inefficient as all hell graphics engine, battlestations midway might entertain you... for a few hours.

Navyfield is a fun game, it's a free MMOTSG based around WW2 warships, it's neither technically or historically accurate, but it is fun. Most of the trouble is you do have to switch tactics between the different types of ships, remember each nation has it's advantages and disadvantages (Germany has crappy armour, but it makes up for this by having the longest ranged guns in the game and the best engineers, which means you can keep your engine running full tilt more often), and don't be tempted to be lazy and use the autoaim FCS, manual is more accurate, has longer range, and Auto only goes up to Light Cruiser level.

Right now, I've got an M-Project Light Cruiser (Taking the Deutschland-class Panzerschiffe route rather than the Admiral Hipper-class Armoured Cruiser) with my German crew and a Gearing with my US crew.

I'm not sure if by naval you mean "20th century naval", but if not, then there's Pirates of the Burning Sea. Age of Sail, obviously, and an MMO, but it has a pretty sweet naval combat model.

If by "a PT boat game" you mean "Knights of the Sea", that's been coming out "this year" since 2002. I hold no immediate hopes.
