Bonjour,
For several years working with TMO, I absolutely do not agree with that.
On the purely historical, TMO does not bring any added value compared to the original game. Fundamental errors were neither corrected nor apprehended. Here are three striking examples among many, in my opinion:
1. Concerning the invasion of the Philippines, all convoys,
absolutely all convoys, including the order of battle is completely fanciful, have been left unchanged. There is even some units that were not yet entered service, as the light cruiser Agano.
2. The famous battle of Guadalcanal: I doubt some of you were able to play. A huge shell in the file
*.mis stock game program for 11 November
1944. The inconsistency of dates that it is invisible. TMO let this historic operation in the state.
3. In October 1944, the Admiral Takeo Kurita's fleet crossed the strait of San Bernardino with 2 Yamato in its ranks. This is a historical error easy to fix. TMO leave it as is. Say what you want historical convoys, whatever is done will Kurita willingly or by force the strait October 25, 1944, otherwise the game becomes meaningless.
However, Ducimus has done considerable work on random convoys (not historical) game by multiplying the course changes. We must welcome the amount of work. Sometimes these changes of direction can lead to islands ... This was not watched closely.
For the rest, all that is grotesque was left unchanged.
Of course, this is not critical to the adress of TMO but a response to what was written with quote.
