Matrix Games announce Command: Modern Operations (CMANO successor)

I have to admit being excited by the new Falklands DLC.

Will definitely pick it up in the very near future.

Looks like a new big update, that now includes the game using 64-bit architecture and moved from DirectX 9 to Direct X 11, which is supposed to improve performance.  Kind of curious why not move straight to the latest DirectX 12, but I am sure there are reasons, probably to be more compatible with people's systems.

Just a theory, but since they also do a professional version, it may have something to do with trying to be compatible with government computer systems, which tend to be less than cutting edge.  They probably maximize their user base by keeping the specs down as low as possible.

I am playing a CMO scenario now, and it does seem to be running better

not quite from the dead - is the game actually recommended?

+1, the most accurate post - WWII naval/air simulation on the civilian market IMHO.

Great way to learn modern air / naval warfare.

The weapons database alone is worth the price of admission.

Warning: the game does have a bunch of things to learn to get the most out of it. But there is an excellent set of tutorials...but be prepared to be "in learning mode" for a while.

The price is steep, but worth it. But it does go on sale from time to time.

Like right now (-60%) : https://www.fanatical.com/en/game/command-modern-operations  (DLC not included !)

All the updates added a lot of content but that didn't make it easier to get in to.

It was this sale that intrigued me

Reliable retailer?

[Silent Disapproval Robot]

Yup.  I've purchased from them a number of times and never had any issues.

[Pete Dero]

Reliable retailer?

Yes.  Official store.

Another +1 for Fanactical (formerly Bundle Stars).  They've been around since 2012.  Bought from them many times over the years with zero issues.

I'll try to get something done.  I'm experimenting right now with a CMO using video, vice the write up format
