Status: offline 		Gents, your input is once again desired. You helped me pick my WWII Pac game. ( I went with WiTP, by the by) and once again, I require your expertise in suggesting a Modern naval game. Basic facts,
1) 1950's to modern
2) Any conflict, anywhere
3) Preferably something massive ( a la WiTP or global scale)
4) Any size of navy

I know I might be asking a lot, but any help is appreciated.

Cheers
MC

Status: offline 		I think one of the Harpoon series would probably be a close match. It does present quite a challenge and is fairly complex. That's about the only naval game I know well though, so I'm not a lot of use for comparing

Is there any other game as big as WitP?

Status: offline 		There is also Global Conflict Blue (similar to Fleet Command and Harpoon).  Current versions are still free (I think), but sounds like they may be eventually moving to payware...

another possibility may be Sonalyst's Dangerous Waters (http://www.sonalystscombatsims.com/dangerous_waters/)

I believe that there is a mod for Fleet Command that makes it a lot better from the Navsim site.As soon as my copy arrives in the post i will install the Mod and report back.

Status: offline 		Yes, DW is very in-depth.  Generally, you are in control of a single platform.  Sub (Akula, Kilo, Los Angeles,...), ship, helo, or Orion.  There are lots of platforms, but most scenarios you don't control more than a handful at a time, IIRC.

Status: offline 		I'm more than a little biased but I think given your original request, especially the massive part, Harpoon Commander's Edition best fits your desires. Not however if you need multiplayer, then Harpoon 3 ANW is your ticket for the time being. GCB will hopefully get there, imho it just isn't there yet.

Feel free to come chat with us on irc at Harpgamer (see left side of http://www.harpgamer.com/ home page for IRC chat links and basic info) if you have Harpoon questions.
