Turkey Shoot?

I believe it will be difficult and far from a turkey shoot. Remember that the game will have operational perimeters as well, such as, finding downed pilots and I believe delivering off commandos. I think we are in for a great surprise with this game.

If the game closely models what happened historically it should become easier as the war wanes. Japanese air cover will be almost non-existant and all the good targets other than a few leaky sampans will be sailing in Japanese waters. It will be very difficult for us to be surprised with our superior radar and technological edge. Numerical forces will be in our favor.

Therefore, I doubt the game will model history that realistically. Even the devs admit you can't start a career in '45 because what's the point? But to remain a fun and engrossing game I don't know what the devs have done to counteract this, but I'm looking forward to seeing it.

That would depend on how well the game is modeled and how careless a skipper you are.
