Failures of The Game
Unfortunately, the game was released in a very buggy and clearly unfinished state. A very big failure is that there is not a single crew member to be seen and certain historical missions are distorted( For example, during the Casablanca mission, the gunnery support force only comprises a single battleship instead of the actual historically correct amount. This causes the mission to be hard to complete due to the strong naval guns(8x15" and 9x6") on the battleship Jean Bart and coastal batteries). Secondly, the naval forces available in the war are not correctly shown. Examples of this are nonexistent United Kingdom battleships HMS Vanguard (23) and HMS King George V (41), and the light carriers of the United States are not complete. Worst of all, the multiplayer interoperability with Silent Hunter II was also buggy and highly unstable. They did however, use the Bogue Class Aircraft Carriers correctly as they were part of the Lend-Lease agreement and returned to the U.S. Navy after the war.
Another example of historical inaccuracy is the inclusion of the Japanese destroyer Miyuki, which was lost in 1934, 5 years before World War II even began. The carrier force of the Japanese Navy is also horribly incomplete, featuring only the Ryujo, Chitose, and Soryu classes.

Famous quotes containing the words failures of the, failures of, failures and/or game:
“Our children will not survive our habits of thinking, our failures of the spirit, our wreck of the universe into which we bring new life as blithely as we do. Mostly, our children will resemble our own misery and spite and anger, because we give them no choice about it. In the name of motherhood and fatherhood and education and good manners, we threaten and suffocate and bind and ensnare and bribe and trick children into wholesale emulation of our ways.”
—June Jordan (b. 1939)
“The failures of the press have contributed immensely to the emergence of a talk-show nation, in which public discourse is reduced to ranting and raving and posturing. We now have a mainstream press whose news agenda is increasingly influenced by this netherworld.”
—Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
“Religion, oh, just another of those numerous failures resulting from an attempt to popularize art.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“Lyke as a huntsman after weary chace,
Seeing the game from him escapt away,
Sits downe to rest him in some shady place,”
—Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)
