well someone stole all my thunder, well said that man, Blitzkrieg has said everything i was going to say and very well said it was. my main issue is the rubber banding and ships showing as stationary then they shoot forward, i checked my FPS etc and all spot on, so not a bandwidth issue. As with Blitz, just wanted to say how $%^& awesome this game is. been playing for 13 hours now (think i had a heart attack about half way but was so enraptured i didn't notice).
only additional note i would add is the mini-map. the Ship icons are so large they look like they are on top of each other, but when you pan out to check they are a good couple of Km's away.all in all a fantastic game, i think you might have even out done WoT.
p.s Royal Navy - i understand why US & Japan to start and Russia next (it is a Russian game after-all) - but please do the RN next, it was the largest and most diverse up to 1939 ish. Great job and say a huge congratulations to all the team at WG.
