I think for all of the work that has gone into making WITP AE,the database info of devices, ships classes and names, all based on facts and for the most part historically accurate,where the game lets it's self down is in regard to the amount of losses sustained by ships in the game,these are way out of proportion to what happened in history,the USA lost a grand total of 2 Battleships during the entire war,yet much more than that get sunk in game terms.

All off the ships in the stock database for Durability,manouverability,AA defence etc need to be improved,ships are far to easy to sink in the game,they should sustain damage and be sent to naval dockyards for repairs as per the game.Aithought aircraft in the war scored a great many hits on ships by bomb and torpdeo,far to many according to the game prove to be fatal hits,resulting in the detruction of the ship in question,there effect in the game needs toning down quite alot to be historically accurate.

Maybe we should mod the game and PC to give us an electrical shock each time we lose a plane or ship (the latter would be a really big, nasty shock!)  Then we'll have some motivation to avoid unnecessary losses (as real life leaders did) and some pain every time there is a major loss (as many leaders undoubtedly experienced.)  Aside from that, it remains a game and we can see people push it to get all sorts of ahistorical results.  The engine, AFAIC, is otherwise pretty sound.

Hahahaa... that's a good proposal.

Perhaps the game should get itself in a strike and not allow you play for 3 days when someone loses a BB. That will make people careful on what they do!

Seriously, though....wasn't there a proposal a ways back to deduct PP's for large capital ship losses? Would make sense to me....lose enough BB's as the Allies and the public outrage is so high that it becomes near impossible to make the sweeping changes to strategy that PP expenditure would facilitate...of course, BB losses would most likely have been held from the public for quite a while...
