beads -> Sheer enjoyment (8/20/2021 2:12:05 PM)

Not sure this belongs here (or anywhere on this forum tbh), but I had to tell _someone_ who understands how much I am enjoying this game.
I played many, many hours of Harpoon 2 and 3 years ago, but kept running into bugs that I knew weren't going to be fixed which became very frustrating.
I had some epic battles with scenarios like the Falklands and US/USSR in the North Atlantic, and generally had a bloody good time.
I only chanced across CMO a few days ago, immediately googled it for comparisons with Harpoon, and am now working my way through the tutorials. I've got a lot to learn about the non-naval bits, but I'm gradually getting back into it and enjoying the play just as much as I used to in Harpoon.
Brilliant game, and the care and craft that has gone into it are very clear.
It might sound silly, but one thing I miss is the little movies from Harpoon - I never tired of seeing an aircraft or missile launch at my command, and the CRRRUMP while watching a missile slam into a ship was deeply satisfying!
Which reminds me of a serious question I should probably post in the proper place - Harpoon would tell you how many missiles were incoming for a particular target, and I haven't worked out how to do that in CMO yet. Useful for checking that all targets are being engaged!
Now I'm off to look around for some Falklands scenarios...
