Maybe this game wouldn't have such a frenzied feel if you could pause the action while you issued orders. Unfortunately, no such facility is included. In a few more seconds all 3 escorts will be sinking. If all this clicking doesn't already sound frenetic enough, Battleship , in single-player mode, gives you a computer opponent that is viciously fast. But don't be fooled.
Intelligence has nothing to do with it.
As I've said, military strategies don't really apply to this game. It's simply that the computer doesn't have to contend with clicking on multiple menus and buttons, the computer doesn't have to zoom the view in and out, and the computer doesn't have to physically move the mouse around the screen. And NMS has done a poor job of compensating for the physical limitations that humans have against the machine. This is a maritime academy not a nautical nursery school. The patch at least makes all the practice levels playable.
