Mark,
Whatever problems the gunnery model may have, I don't think they show up in
play. I've been playing this game since Chris Carlson and Larry Bond first
started playtesting it at Cold Wars several years ago. I think it is the best
WW2 naval simulation on the market, bar none. It is easy to play, despite the
fact that it incorporates a massive amount of detail, and produces very
historical results. All in addition to being a lot of fun. Ship handling is
just as important as gunnery, if not more so. Fear God and Dread Nought, the
WWI game in the series, is equally excellent.
