I myself don’t know much about the New Zealand Navy. Any historical ships that come to your mind?

Oh, no kidding? I remember hearing about Ajax and Achilles frequently in naval history battles of World War II. I had no idea that Achilles was actually part of the commonwealth contribution to the war.

Respectfully, we make enormous efforts to incorporate historical reality into our game at every step of development.

However, at the end of the day this is an arcade game and cannot be restricted by the bounds of pure historical accuracy. Nearly every ship at T7 and above would have radar if that were the case. The ships themselves have been enlarged by what I believe is a factor of 3 just to make things more appropriately visible. The speed of the ships and the distances covered are also adjusted to make sure you don't spend 3 hours covering the 20km to reach a target. This is video game reality.

You may not agree with how some of the end results are when it comes to the attributes of a ship, but you should be aware of the amount of research and care that goes into the process.


One last thing.... at some of the engagement distances that actually happened in WW2, the shell flight times were around a full minute. I don't know about you, but I don't believe I would EVER land a shell that had a 60 second lead time
