[edit] VCDH
I'm adding slowly to this guys whenever I get the time. Sorry if it sounds like an advert. I'll reword it when I get the chance
[edit] Gameplay
This article really needs to discuss more about the gameplay. Is the game played in real-time or is it turn-based? Do you only control one ship or do you control multiple vessels? Does it simulate military strategy or tactics? How abstracted is the combat? SharkD 03:18, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
- The game is real time with time compression capability in case the action slows down. The player can control single or multiple platforms (up to the hundreds if he/she has the computing power available). While some of the more acrane aspect of naval warfare are not modeled, most are. Examples of things not modeled is Radar Ducting, sonar bottom and surface bounce, and COMINT/SIGINT. I could have stated that we are looking to install those in the next version (3.8.1) but we haven't hammered down a decision yet, nor is it guaranteed that AGSI clients will want something else.VCDH 21:18, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
It really needs more about the gameplay, ideally with screenshots. I briefly played the game several years ago, and I remember what it was like (there are some shots here, for example), but a casual reader would be baffled. For example, when you control a submarine, can you look through the periscope? Do you move the boat around with the mouse and WASD? If you are in charge of an aircraft carrier, can you fly the planes? The answers are no, no, and no - everything is shown on a top-down line-drawing map, and you play a "guiding spirit" - but the article does not make this clear. -Ashley Pomeroy 21:01, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Harpoon.jpg
Image:Harpoon.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
