His map choices were nothing short of abysmal. He picked all kinds of iconic individual places, but never connected the dots.
The only stock PF campaigns possible (given the maps) were carrier based ones. Which would make more sense of the ship DMs were as complex as even a medium bomber. They aren't, so every CV battle is a total slaughter. CVs are sorta fun, but the game deals with ships poorly in general, and doesn't deal with CV operations AT ALL.
I should add that without even a little AI, ships are just a joke to attack, they all might as well be swinging at anchor.
That was a major failing of the pacific or any nvala combat in il-2. Ships need to follow waypoints, but at the very least when they start shooting at you they should also start evading. It could be as simple as ringing up flank speed and constant helming.
Sigh.
