I'd be interested in people's experiences so far.
Personally I have enjoyed the games I have played - Hood and Bismarck featuring strongly, and they seem to effectively force different roles on different ship classes, which is fine by me.
I have noticed that cruisers are extremely vulnerable to torpedoes, whilst battleships, particularly the armour 6 torpedo belt types are pretty immune.
One chap I played against felt that torpedos hit slightly too easily, and mentioned that destroyers often carried one reload.
Aircraft seem not to achieve much - I think in 3 games I've seen 1 flight from the Ark Royal successfully score a torpedo hit.
Still, I look forward to playing more games.
For competition play it looks like ships like the IOWA will rather dominate things.
