I've beaten the original several times. The trick I used to defeat the enemy carrier was to stay out of range and send suicide walruses armed with missiles, which would spam missile fire and ram the carrier (to figure out how to do the most damage vs a carrier I experimented using all the weapons on my own carrier). There was also an exploit where you could get unlimited equipment as well.
One thing I don't like about the new version now is that the surrounding sea away from the islands seem to be a dead area where you can't launch anything or attack from a distance. One of my main strategies in the original was to keep my carrier out at a distance and use mantas for recon and early assaults. I also don't like that you can't launch mantas while moving, and the UI is giving me trouble (in some ways i think the original's ui is better).
