The problem with the Navy in RA2 is that it is often rendered useless. Without refueling planes in the game the fighters are limited on how far from the ship they can travel, and there are no missles on any of them to strike the long range targets, further reducing Naval effectiveness.

But having a truly realistic Naval and land AND air force to micromanage may be beyond the abilities of most players. In real life there are scores of people working to keep all three forces working together smoothly.Be fun if they can make it work though. > This is a good game and could be a GREAT game if it included the naval > aspect. > > Once they add that, this game will be worth it to actually buy and > quit playing my pirated copy.... > > > Just Kidding!!!! > > ~Blake~
