please provide a new naval engine

[Chaplain]

I can live with the abstraction of airpower in HOI2, since the scale makes it work. But please give us a new engine for naval combat, rather than treating it like a variation of air/land combat. Naval combat should be shorter, sharper, and potentially more lethal. The tweaks to naval detection and subs-vs-surface ships are just about right in the latest iterations of HOI2, but HOI3 needs a different model for ship-to-ship and air-sea engagements.

I want to sweat bullets when I send the Royal Navy through the Tyrrhenian Sea, and I want to feel the same thing when the Japanese venture through the Strait of Malacca or down to the Solomons.

I would love to see a new naval combat engine...I loved messing with navies but their were certain things about HoI2 that didn't make them all that fun...

But pls keep in mind that it has to be manaegable in multiplayer.

Hard enough to keep track of everything as it is right now. Pausing a game again and again ain´t an option in an 6+ MP game.

I tend to more options in orders:

Surface Patrol: Aggressive - normale - Whimp

Making sure your admiral will only attack if he feels sure to win without losses - chance to win - or engage in any case.

Something like that could help, me thinks.
