Is it like Destroyer Command, but here you command an Carrier instead ?

Have just been reading about the game

I thought that you were to command the Nimitz and do all the stuff that makes a carrier work.

It is a rework of a legendary old Amiga/Atari ST-title from the mid-80s, and futuristic. No real simulation. The title suffers from its inferior state esoecially regarding the AI and pathfinding, and if you check their forum you see that many people have abandoned it already, short after release. The developer is Bohemia who unfortunately have a lousy record in fixing AI issues with the ArmA series. Haplos and me strongly disagree in our assessment of it, it seems we have very different definitions of "quality" and difgferent standards by which to assess it, I checked the demo, and found it terrible, and many forum entries at their forum were a slap in the face of the developer, too, since they even ignored one year of feedback from ebtatester who told them exactly what major things were broken, and they just didn't touch it. I am disappointed to say so, since I was a big fan of the original back then, and had looking at the new version with great excitement, and over years. What I saw is great potential - headlessly wasted. The guys at Bohemia just don't know what pathfinding and AI means, they never really knew that stuff.

The latest patch gloss over some superficial symptoms apparently, but doe snot cure the substance of the problem.

I recommend you check these two:

I have strong doubts they ever fix this to the needed degree, it is a totally spoiled release, imo, which is a shame. But titles rarely recover from a bad start like this. Think twice before throwing money after it - outlook is good they they sooner or later abandon it, due to low customer interest - reviews have been messy, customer interest is low: they know they will not make profit with this anymore.

There is tastier jummy out there.
