Sea Power : Naval Combat in the Missile Age Review - A Must Buy For Fans Of Naval Combat

[@moxtordoki96]

This is what a review needs to be, something that both the gamers and developers need to hear and see to both buy and improve. The good and the bad

[@TheBickeringBunch]

Chatfish spotted

[@moxtordoki96]

Breed kibs

[@MekStark1980]

One of devs here -watching and taking notes, agree wholeheartedly! great video

[@ViktorPalosi]

Arch you do realize there is an ingame log of what's happening like detections and such? Bottom right corner, middle button. It tells you most of the info you complained about not having. Really cool game, installing as I'm watching this!

[@conradflanagan5003]

Which ties back around to his first point: the game needs a tutorial.

[@ViktorPalosi]

@@conradflanagan5003yep, true. I'm currently learning through failing, not the most welcoming method for new players lol

[@Ozzystrayroo]

Finally a game where i can sing Bones in the Ocean over and over again while playing

[@ChairmanKam]

1:10 I would argue it's the spiritual sequel to Jane's Fleet Command.

[@garrettmastantuono8043]

I miss the simple reviews, love everything you do Arch 🙏

[@slightlyshabby9226]

Harpoon back in the early 90s had the naval warfare control scheme nailed. If they just copied that whole cloth and added graphics they’d be wildly successful. (Harpoon also had one of the best user manuals of all time. They should steal that too while they’re at it.)

[@mrdent5648]

anyone remember fleet command? this sounds just like the modern update to that awesome sim and i'm here for it! :)

[@Kojak0]

I remember the old game Harpoon, which took a more strategic view on the entire sea combat thing - great game actually and highly recommended if you are into naval warfare.

[@Based_Lord_Humongous]

This looks like Cold Waters but cranked up to 11. Let's GOOOOOOO

[@IanGerritsen]

It's finally here. You didn't have to sell me on this unlike CMO and Songs of Syx, but I'm more than happy to see more on it regardless.

[@andrewgrinn3435]

Nice review, I will pick it up around the holidays

[@periplanetamissionary]

This is like the old game Fleet Command.

[@TheHej2]

Was locking forward to this

[@SednovaNova]

More like an improved Janes Fleet Command.

[@shtrguy]

Excellent critical analysis of the current state of the game. I have had the same issues with it, and share the same hope that they fix these things. This does need far more automation than it has now. Make the digital sailors do what they know how to do when you order them.

[@drupiROM]

It's been on my wishlist since 2020. Since the days of Jane's Fleet Command i have yet to play a similar game, this winter is going to be great for gaming ! One more thing i hope for, is for it to release on GOG too.

[@ilejovcevski79]

Excellent review for what is up to this point, one of my most anticipated games and certainly on my watch list. Have the developers made some kind of development plan available to the public (aside from missions and campaigns) and are they accepting feedback from the user base? Adding behavior modifiers and missions, like CAP, Sweep, BARCAP, Escort for the aircraft for example as well as "hands free", a behavior like weapons free, but that would allow craft to break formation and the like, would go a long way into automatization and quality of life improvements.

[@maxkessler784]

You can’t convince me to buy the game with this review! But only because you already sold me during the livestream.

[@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi]

Thankyou, You provided some clarity for me, Ive been watching youtubers play the game for weeks and kinda forgot about the learning curve of games sometimes. I really dont like learning a new language to be able to play a game. I think il wait for this game, rather than jumping on it from day one. I learnt my lesson from bloody kerbal space program 2.

[@a564-c3q]

Mind you that the predecessor of Command: Modern Operations, called Command: Modern Air/Naval Operations, was developed as a military simulation software *for military customers* and is actually used by various military customers. For military customers having 3D video game graphics is unimportant to irrelevant, especially since the software is being used to train higher ranking officers in the military. Of course that gives Command: Modern Operations as well as its predecessor a very particular appeal. You're basically getting your hands on a professional software intended for training high ranking officers in the Navy and Air Force, which is pretty exciting imho. Rumors say the version the military gets to buy is pretty much the same as the civilian version. The main difference is that the developer will modify specific settings and parameter of various systems based on the opinion/intelligence service data of the customer. In the civilian version all systems have parameters based on open source data.

[@safonso1296]

Im a Harpoon 97 player! Janes Fleet Command was my favorite game! I even bought Naval War: Artic Circle!! I still play the Command Modern Operations with Tacview!! But this game!! This game is a dream come true!!! A Must buy!!!! Im waiting for this game since 2020! But in true...I was wainting for this game, all my life! :)

[@isimiel3405]

no one:----- the AWACs: I CRAVE BLOOD

[@christopheryoung2874]

I'm about to buy this game next. It's on top of my steam wishlist thanks!

[@MrPeperoni79]

Is that like Cold Waters on steroids?

[@giroromek8423]

Seems to have too much micro-management on large operations. I'll play it as a beefed-up Cold Waters, mission editing willing.

[@ARescueToaster]

667th like -- begone demons! Loving the game -- jank and all! I've been playing Fleet Command a bunch this last week, and now getting to try Sea Power tonight is entirely mind blowing.

[@calumdeighton]

Question. When you going to review UBOAT? I've been having a blast on the game and it's a great intro to Sub-Sim games. So satisfying sinking an aircraft carrier. Now hunting for Battleship.

[@somagai467]

When you kicking Dev off the Archcast?

[@adoeman]

Y?

[@somagai467]

@adoeman because he adds nothing but disingenuous takes and bad faith arguments.

[@jeframdenkar]

Dev makes too much money for Arch from superchats calling out his bad takes to get rid of him.

[@00yiggdrasill00]

​@@adoeman the question is who would be replace him with? I think it may be better to keep a slimey fool over having nothing and promoting more echo chamber behaviour. He's bad no doubt, but he does show something of the other side. And it also shows that people like that exist. I don't personally care much either way, but I do think there is some measure of value in displaying what not to be.

[@ElektronDeForza]

​@@00yiggdrasill00 Lumi is an excellent co-host and she isn't a bad-faith communist

[@sms1655]

me thinks a 40k mod for such a game is in order yes yes maybe defending cadia? or besieging vraks? or the solar war....

[@gfdnnfnfgnfgn]

Closest we have is arma and men of war mods

[@ronwilson2412]

I wish the two games could collaborate or be combined.

[@duckman12569]

Even if you don't target the boeing it might go down on it's own.

[@boobah5643]

Nah. The game is set in the Cold War; Boeing was still Boeing then, not McDonnell-Douglas wearing it as a skin suit.

[@hertzwave8001]

Didn't think i'd see a thing like this on your channel

[@MGerdtell]

TL, DW: A good game at its' core, but it needs some quality of life updates.

[@David-zq5uy]

remember an old game called fleet command was just like this

[@CecilioSprayetti]

Its a great game so far from what I've played. Only really noticed 2 issues, 1 being the performance once a mission goes on for long enough it starts crawling down in FPS and eventually will just crash to desktop, and 2 the formation system is really jank half the time I won't even use it I'll just take my units out of formations which increases the amount of micro you need to do.

[@Snootenhoff]

This be cozy to listen to while in snugbug mode with a cupa tea 😺

[@kalev_knight]

Im very tempted. Completely out of my field of games. But tempted

[@thomasschwarz3711]

I already bought it

[@STRYKER1467]

I want to play it so badly but im waiting for Stalker 2.

[@xeon_1705]

basically a modern jane,s fleet command that runs on modern os all i needed to know

[@duckman12569]

A full priced millsim with 'very positive' reviews? Oh my...

[@GreySphinkter]

This looks promising. CMO held a lot of potential but was a bit of a disappointment due to the amount of issues that plagued the game. Hopefully this should bridge the gap.

[@kennythelin]

is the game like the old game "Harpoon"?

[@telecleez]

Reminds me of "Fleet Command: Real Time Naval Strategy" game.

[@wizardofdreams7711]

loved the stream!

[@lucasart328]

Fleet command

[@Knort]

I hope it also launches on GOG

[@gogetters6639]

I know some of these terms from playing Azur Lane (ASW). During Basic our Senior Drill Sergeant asked what "bracketing" was and muttered "of course you guys don't know" which I was able to answer thanks to Azur Lane and WoWS.

[@CoolSs]

man, i missed those simple. reviews/videos without any political topic. not like i am complaining but more of those will be nice between them.

[@AnonD38]

What's up with all of the bots in the comments lately?

[@romandujanowicz3099]

Fak. Games have graphics now??]

[@Citron-gb7sf]

It has a manual on steam 😂

[@Sniperahead]

Well its a bit to expensive. Any it really bothers me that I have to control every ship of the chosen faction on the map... The micromanagement ist to big

[@Tigerfish.]

excel spreadsheets... you just peaked the interest of EVE players

[@justinf80]

God damn dude stop talking like that, literally couldn't watch the video.
