"Multi-person" doesn't do it justice. The battleships are designed to be run with a deck crew of 16+. Submarines 8, and destroyers 12+.

It's going to be a major task of coordination for these things to be run. I've seen players have a hard time coordinating tanks, and that's usually just a driver and a gunner.

There's that game with untextured polygonal graphics about naval combat that's aimed towards having several players running a carrier. Dammit, what's the name of that?

Carrier Command 2.

Holy shit this looks like fun. Now I just need sixteen friends lol.

Sounds cool, but in practice it might be just more things to do for huge regiments while those who dont want to dedicate their entire lives to the game or join some big group barely get to even see the things. I hope i'm wrong.

The game looks interesting - is it possible to play it somewhat casually? Like for at most 2 hours at a time?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Absolutely. It really depends what you want to do. Jump straight into the frontline meat grinder and you’ll be able to dip out whenever you like. You could even do some basic logistics runs in that time. Start building bases or factories and that’s when there’s a huge time commitment lol
