Will it be 1980's only or earlier in the Cold War? Cuban Missle Crisis would be cool.

See October Fury for reference:

The possibility of later expanding it to other time periods is open, but as of the moment, the focus is early 80's (end of 1983, specifically). But if the current project meets enough success, there's always the possibility of opening up earlier in the cold war.

That's a huge part of the reason this project exists. And Destroyer Command was great!

Wow, this looks very interesting! I will definitely be keeping an eye on it.
I've been having an itch for a modern Surface Naval Warfare game and it looks like this will scratch it!

Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see more.

Something similar to CMANO and Jane's Fleet Command will be well received! With 3D view like the last one!

this screens looks similar to CW so i have some questions:

1. Can you write main differences your game and Cold Waters?

2. Screens shows in right bottom part of display "tactical window" with few buttons. Is in Full mode you will see additional stations like active/passive sonar, towed array, radar, ESM/ECM, damages etc?

3 what is purpose of an adjustable "world scale" slider that modifies the range of all weapons and sensors

4. How you imagine time compression in MP mode?

5. Will you make "link" for information exchange between warships in battlegroup and other forces like AWACS, naval ELINT airplanes, MPA, submarines and land radar stations?

Amazing news! May the most favorable winds blow you through developing the game... although we're probably talking engines, not sails, on this one

Sounds like a very intresting project.

What game engine are you using and how big is the development team?

I grew up with DC and FC and would fully support such a game.
