Battlestations Pacific needs its own sub forum

I've usually stuck to War in the Pacific despite it's excruciating length for Pacific Theater strategy. Never tried the Battlestations Pacific. Does it simulate aspects like logistics and supply and industrial production?

No, it's just a tactical game. It's also a long shot from simulating pretty much anything...

In Capture the island mode, the navy version of capture the flag, the object is to capture various islands on the map, certain islands have either airbases, or navy bases, navy bases that provide different types of ships/planes. or different resources of navy supplies, which can include stronger armour, for a period of time, better manuvering, autoreloading, and others i cant remember.

Capturing islands is done by paratoops, or landing troops from an lst or landing ship or for a longer period being say a destroyer in close to the base, blowing it up and neutralizing it and then taking it over. So its tactical and strategy involved in keeping and maintaining the island as for the resouces its brings to yourself or your team.

Bombers and c47 skytrains can be set to once load is dropped they have to return to base to load up again, or they can load in the air over a period of time, but if in the air they still have to be protected. So its all a crap shoot no matter which way you do it.

I played the game, went trought all the missions except the Japanese 'what if' scenario...

The game is a simple shooter, it has nothing to do with simulation whatsoever and its too easy but its entertaining, not more.

It has alot of qualities like the Battlefield games but it lacks something, dont know what, probably atmoshere.
