Accurate depictions of ports is something fairly new in the game's lifespan, and there are plenty of ports not accurately depicted.Īlso, there is nothing to suggest this game takes place in the same world as what we think of as 'real'. Telling them they shouldn't have made the port if they can't be 'historically accurate' is incredibly short-sighted. One thing to keep in mind is that this, along with Philippines, were the first ports ever done for the game, and the only ones for a while (Hawaii was the premium port). Absolutely ridiculous that this is not done right.) (While they are fixing Hawaii, they might also want to take peek at the Philippines, New York and likely every other so-called harbor. At least that is not full of historical inaccuracies, misplaced buildings, weird geography and totally unrealistic dock facilities. This was an embarrassment.īack to 'Ocean' for me. There are plenty of GIS based models of these locations today. There is plenty of imagery from WWII of the places of interest (aerial and otherwise). This is not rocket science or brain surgery. Then they should have ports that are famous, done right. They should have a home port (done right) for each nationality. With that in mind, do it right or don't do it at all. Look, I understand it takes time to do something like this.

The buildings, the infrastructure, the dock front all are wrong and have no connection to reality. The harbor area bears no resemblance to the navigable portion of any harbor in Hawaii. The mountains are the wrong shape, color and distance from the harbor. Nothing about the image reminded me of Pearl Harbor or Hawaii. I was stationed there for 4 years and was looking forward to seeing the 1940's version. I selected Hawaii with the anticipation of seeing it again.
