The first time you neglected to check a vessel and it got hammered, you would be unhappy. This is not a game that is designed to be command and conquer with ironclads - its designed to represent some of the HISTORICAL challenges of fighting with, and against, this "new technology" at an earlier time in naval history.
I am going to guess you have never played Age of Sail 2 Privateers Bounty.

One of the best things about it was that it was in real time.And trying to fight the Battle of Trafalgar in real time with all those ships is what made that even more fun.Simply because it made for a challange trying to manage a fleet of 22 British ships or a fleet of 33 French and Spanish ships.

Sure it was buggy but it was still a fun game and the real time control made it even better.

This is a game I will be getting for certain but a real time version maybe later on would be great.
