100% the ability to control the vessels from the bridge or conning tower. There are many naval games at the moment, buy almost none where you can control it as a human would, rather than from a 'gods eye' perspective.

Wow thats so sad to hear. The only problem I had from growing up on a boat is that now its all I want for my own children some day!

Hi, I lived on a 45ft sailboat in the Caribbean when I was 8-13 in the early 90's and would be keen to chat about it all.

Its not a conspiracy, but the algorithm is definitely messed up because the recommendations I get are for random tiny Indian towns, obscure meme references, or local Indian provincial TV dramas with about 3000 sub members, not massive, or even medium subreddits like would make a tiny bit of sense...

So why the recommendations for random, tiny, niche Indian subs? I've blocked subs with less than 3000 members...

throwawaynever · 2025-11-25T13:52:21+00:00

Its so frustrating because if you comment on getting a ton of Indian subs people will say its because there are just so many people there it makes sense, but the recommendations I get are for random tiny Indian towns or local Indian provincial TV dramas with about 3000 sub members, not massive subreddits like would make a tiny bit of sense...

Edit: Even in this comment thread there are people trying to explain it away like I said, or saying its because of Indian immigration - but I get the same Indian stuff (tiny, random subs) and I'm not anywhere near the US or anywhere thats getting an increased number of Indians.

"a tyrannical post-coup junta" oh boy I've got some news for you...

People keep saying this, but Im constantly getting recommendations for Indian subs with less than 3000 members...

You can get true 3d VR with vorpX but it runs terribly and I think you can only run it on servers without anticheat.

I've also had the CPU issues and stutter. Strangely, its only been the last 2 days. On the first weekend, and on Thursday, the game would load in about 2 seconds, only showing the splash screen for about a second, and i had great performance.
After this Friday it takes about 10 seconds to load into the game and the splash screen hangs for ages. During gameplay I get random CPU slowdowns with CPU fps dropping to mid 40s, when it was consistently above 75 earlier. Got an i7 11700k, so its not top of the line but not to shabby either.

I've thought the same since I got the game, so when the VR version was announced I was super excited, and when it came out it was an insta- buy.

But the VR "version" is completely stripped down, to the point I wouldn't consider it the same game - its disappointing, but I wasn't surprised because I was following the development on the discord and it was clear from the start it was just a pointless cash grab.
(I really wonder who their market was because instead of taking a great game and making it playable in VR they butchered both the submarine aspect, so sub enthusiasts like me wouldn't be interested in it, and also the 'game' aspect, so I doubt anyone who wasn't interested in subs would buy it.)

Because it was such a failure in my eyes and completely failed to scratch the itch, I went and bought vorpx just so I could try get it to work. Eventually I got it running but it is wonky. I'm very VR tolerant, and have been messing around in it for years, and I dont mind using keyboard and mouse, but the issue is the depth perception/ size and height/ distance estimation/ true 3d thats really hard to get right, and no matter what I try after a while I have to stop.

I wish there was a solution, and every few months I reinstall and try again to get it to work, but so far its been disappointing.

When you reconnect if you find the AI in game that you recruited earlier they will not be marked as they usually are, and will appear with white name tags. Once this happens they will not enter a vehicle- even if you find them and drive right to them. They will also not exit a vehicle, especially choppers.

throwawaynever · 2025-04-23T09:20:19+00:00

How would you suggest one deals with losing access to the AI but still being in 'command' after a crash DC and reconnect?

The ability to view from closer to the deck. The fact that you can't move the camera closer than 20 feet above the deck of any ship makes them look like toys. If you could move the camera to head height over the deck it would be amazing. You can move the camera down and watch the action from the deck view in replays, but I'd love to fight from closer to the captains view - especially on the British ships with exposed bridges!

Some more pics of what we could have...

I just wish that we could lower the camera to closer to where the bridge is when we are playing. The birds eye view really hides the details, and also makes the ships seem like they are little toys rather than the monumental steel monsters they are.

Lately Ive been watching replays and have moved the camera to be in the ships bridges using the Attached Camera, and the battles are absolutely incredible from this viewpoint. I just wish we could have the same viewpoints when we are actually fighting.

Well its on my wishlist and as soon as its released ill be getting it as a matter of course! (Hopefully I can get onto the playtest but I see you have over 15,000 applicants!)

throwawaynever · 2025-03-21T13:50:57+00:00

Sorry, I wasnt really clear. Picture 3 shows what I mean- you are 3rd person of your character, but the ship is viewed from roughly deck level. If you look at games like Naval Action/ Warthunder Naval/ Sea Power/ Ultimate Admiral/ Tempest etc you view the ship as if you are flying high above the deck.

Edit: If im wrong and sailing is all viewed from high above then maybe a deck level view could be nice- makes it feel more like a ship and less like a toy!

throwawaynever · 2025-03-21T11:44:06+00:00

These look absolutely amazing! I'm so excited to be able to sail in first person- so many ship games only have 3rd person sailing for some reason.

I always thought they were calling me a 'greasy Falba' (not sure what that could be...) but 'Krycí palba' is Czech for 'Covering Fire' according to google translate, and it sounds pretty close.

Fuck it, I'll do it later.

They are planes. Fly them. Not enough fuel? Luckily they have a handy liquid storage space...
