Large warships tend to be a bit cumbersome.

Closest thing I've found is Guns of Icarus, but it's fucking steampunk and followed the TF2 guide of ruining any chance at a consistent artstyle.
Still, the base concept is nice. Wish it was truly naval.

P.T.O. II
P.T.O. IV

PLAY THOSE NOW!

World of Warships is pretty fun.

>>382495418
Rebel Galaxy is a breddy gud ship combat game

Because the concept is fundamentally boring as shit

How is shooting at a speck on the horizon fun?

>>382497185
haha faggot

>>382495418
"few" there are none
the last naval warfare game i had fun playing was Battlestations Pacific, and that's far from a realistic representation. Regardless i found the CV mechanics fun, although damage control was better in Midway

That's a nice advanced ship you have their, would be a shame if a pre-WW2 torpedo biplane defeated it.

Impossible to balance or you'll be stuck in a very specific limited timeline.

Naval combat could be fun if your were just one sailor on the ship and had no control over whether your boat got exploded by missiles or not.

>>382499368
Is it wrong to think the only reason to buy SH4 is to be able to get the U-boat dlc

>>382499597

Not wrong at all.

Abyssals are better

Because if you want to practice naval combat just get on a boat pussy. All the cool combat sims are Space combat because you can't do that in the real world yet.

the only difference between real life modern naval combat and video games is bad smells, worse food, and shittier displays

>>382498496
It was defeated by more than that.

There should be a game about one of the German auxiliary cruisers. Like the Kormoran. Patrol around looking for allied merchant ships to sink while dodging allied warships. Final boss is the Australian cruiser HMAS Sydney.

Too bad, they are just enemy fodder and never get developed.

Even on side materials.

What about navel combat games?
