IGN has a sneak peek at PT-boats

Its interesting to note that on shot 4 (the one with the controls) the dials on screen do not seem to correspond with the hud settings. The revs dial shows 2800 whilst the telegraph on the hud is at "Stop" and the compass does not seem to align with the compass on the HUD. hopefully the scene dials etc are functional and not just eye candy, that would be disappointing.

Again, why the Atlantic? Why not the Pacific?

Grr!

Or better yet, why not both?

We barely even get the Atlantic, we have the North Sea, English Channel, and the Black, Baltic Seas.

According to Akella they plan to have a Pacific addon later. Apparently the market for sims is huge in Akella's native Russia which is why the sim is focussed initilally on the areas where Russian forces were most active.

Between this sim and BOB Storm of War it's hard to say which one is more frustrating. They both have been teasing us for years now with no firm release date. By the time KOS is released it'll probably be obsolete.

I'll still get it anyway even without dynamic missions but.....

Oh well, at least we can't level the charge that they have pushed it out the door too soon like Ubisoft and SH4. I just hope that there is enough actual simulation left in the game to satisfy us all.
