War on the sea is a fun naval game that i would recommend. So, whats good about it? Pros: -very good modding platform with many well made mods such as the Tokyo Express mod and campaign mods. -easy to hop into and play (for me anyway) -a game set in the pacific theater of operations -custom mission editor -campaign set during operation watchtower -fun combat -late war stuff -damage modeling (its not world of warships) -I have not not encountered any bugs Cons: -dogfighting is terrible to say the least -the game is dead as the devs went off to develop sea power (devs of sea power with former developers of cold waters, a killerfish game -ui is outdated -recon is very tedious -no base late war campaign (it is understandable) -no soyru hiryu kaga or akagi Overall, fun game to hop into.

- Log in - Load previous campaign - Find and track Yamato/Musashi - Send 4 gazillion Avengers and Dauntelesses - IT DOESN'T SINK - It's gone for 2 weeks ^^rinse and repeat Serious short note: base game has a lot of potential but it's the mods that add replayability; without them you probably wouldn't enjoy it past the 30-35 hour threshold imo.

War on the Sea is overall a great game with endless scenarios for battles and campaigns. You have the ability to create your own battles, or play pre-made ones. There are infinite modding opportunities, my personal favorites are The Tokyo Express and Operation Magazine, all of which are pinned int he modding section of the community. There are mods that even add extra campaigns incase you get bored of the base 2 campaigns. The current modded ones are full Pacific war, ABDACOM (start of the pacific war), Indian Ocean campaign, and a Mediterranean. The best part is they are all available in the modding tab of the community hub. This game is great, I recommend it.
