Released on steam. You can get the demo along with the tutorial free to decide if you want to buy.
Too early for me to tell, but anyone who at least names the Austro Hungarian ships down to light cruiser level coud be worth looking into further.
It will not likely be very realistic as they pride themselves on providing a gateway to a kind of alternate history.
Still could be interesting.

I bought it in early access for $15. However, $40 is a significant investment - you can get FPRS for $50.

Having said that, they have improved the Events engine to make things a bit more historical. Also, battles last several turns now. In MHII, it was like you were playing Risk much of the time. One-turn battles with little opportunity to reinforce. Also, they have always been quite active with patches, so support should be good. The editor also seems to be working, but with a few minor glitches. The Steam forum is a good place for more info, obviously.

The game plays quickly and easily, especially if you know MHII. Would I pay $40 for it today? Probably.
