I know it's past the submission date but I was hoping that since nobody has posted any pictures yet I could still get in on it.

This is from the USS Intrepid archives. Officers and enlisted men being interred into the sea after a Japanese bombing attack in the Philippines, Nov 26th 1944.

I found that photo in the book The Carrier War by Clark G. Reynolds

I am really interested to see what pictures other people come up with.

Hi Capitialj I haven,t any pictures(ha ha ). I got the game for the Android and PC ver and played both side on both platform and the games works fantastic. Regards Lewie

[TarJak]

Cool. Thanks very much. I'm looking forward to seeing how the game plays.

This has become my favourite naval strategy game ever.
Really like the targeting system and range/power of the weapons.
Encountered a small bug where one of my cruisers could not turn, there was no orange arc range - just a blue fixed arc.
Had to sail it straight ahead out of play.
But other then that it's very stable and great fun to play.

A wholehearted recommendation for anyone wishing to add this to there collection.

Thanks! Glad to hear you like it. Is it possible that the rudder was destroyed on that ship? If a rudder get's hit then the ship won't be able to turn anymore. You can check the subsystems by pressing the Stats button on a selected ship.

Can't remember if it had taken damage at that stage, but it may very well be the reason.
If it happens again I'll take note of the stats screen to confirm.
