It's sad if this is still a no go because what we had heard seemed like it held so much promise.

Point taken Wodin.. I see a few in the forum still have CF alpha testers in their signatures so I felt it didn't hurt to ask. I guess the silence gives me my answer.

I guess I'll have to look elsewhere for a naval title.

Status: offline 		Complete Carriers at War is supposedly in development, at least according to Eric Rutins earlier this year.

He said it can be expected first quarter 2013.

"Regarding Complete Carriers at War, in my most recent discussion with SSG we are now aiming for 1st Quarter 2013. They are at work on the release and moving it forward. SSG is just Gregor and Roger now and life has thrown them a lot of curve balls over the last couple of years. With CCAW, SSG should be rolling again and there are several more exciting releases we are discussing with them after CCAW is complete."

http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3164845 Just head through the childish commentary until you get to Eriks post.

As for the game in this thread, haven't heard a thing about it.

Status: offline 		SapperAstro nails it. Carrier Force is/was a program based off the Uncommon Valor engine , Complete Carriers at War comes from the Carriers at War line.

I thought SSG got all the could out of the CaW engine, it will have to have a number of improvements or a good deal for previous owners to get my money. Calling the scenario builder tedious would be a compliment. Any *new release will have to have more than lipstick for me to consider it a new game. I understand where some who didn't make the CaW purchase may feel different ,though.

Status: offline 		I didn't make the purchase because I still have a working version of the original Complete Carriers at War....

Depending on how the new one turns out, I might be tempted to fork out yet. It doesn't really have much competition in the Carrier stakes after all...and if it has the same amount of scenarios as the original Complete CaW then I will be impressed.

Status: offline 		I really like the carrier art style in those pics..

For me in recent years a deep yet accessible Pac War game hasn't been released. I'd love to see those graphics in the pics at sea with planes taking off etc..air ops and island battles..and sea battles but again with graphics like in the OP post.

I'd like to see the planes taking off and going into formation then flying off to attack the enemy carrier group as well as ship to ship combat but have a very detailed damage model for the ships and realistic behavior. I'd like crew casualties effecting ship performance..fires..flooding and damaged equipment..crew fighting the fires. Life boats and rescue. Air battles and maybe land battles but I'd be happy to see the land battles more abstracted at coy or reg level..I want the Naval Side and Air side in more detail. I'd also want it to look great. Those carrier pics spark the imagination, I can visua;ise planes taking off from them or being under attack from enemy planes and ships etc.. I'd like similar FOW level as NWS Steam and iron game aswell.
