Just a game??!!??!! How dare you say that here!? Harrumph!

Well, now that that's out of my system...

There are a lot of things that could have been better in the game. Some they didn't have time for, some they just got wrong, but in cases like this I think they just didn't know. There are a lot of things that some of us discover by accident that all the research on the part of the developers just won't turn up. I wish it wasn't so.

I've seen 'Flower' class corvettes foundering and burning in bad weather, because smaller ships are more affected in the game. The reality was that even though it was said that they would "roll on wet grass", the 'Flowers' were actually better in heavy seas than the larger destroyers, since their short hulls would ride over waves that larger, sleeker ships would try to plow through.
