[h1] Pros: [/h1] [olist] [*] The Historical Accuracy- Focusing on the other aspects, the game does not deviate from the actual history and stick to it. Which is the first reason I got hooked to the game. The feeling of experiencing the battles that took place during the Indo-Pak war of 1971 is very realistic. Cheers to the creators for actually making it possible. [*] The Graphics- While playing the game, it does come to notice that the creators have really put a lot of work into this. From the designs of the Jets, Choppers, Ships to the overall graphics just keeps on adding up to the experience. [*] Promised Multiplayer mode- The promise of an upcoming multiplayer would surely gets me excited for a revisit in the future. Would love to see where the game leads to once it is out. [/olist] [h1] Cons: [/h1] [olist] [*] The FPS- The game runs consistently on a 30 FPS. I played it on a 3060ti and V-sync disabled, so it doesn't seem to be a hardware issue, rather the game itself. [*] The controls- The game has a very 'Battlefield'ish control style which I do feel could be a bit more like 'Ace Combat' which would suit the overall aesthetic of the game. [*] No Soundtrack- With all the combat and battle experience, the SFX feels a bit incomplete. It's not bad but a soundtrack does make game-play very interesting at times. A bad-ass soundtrack could really amplify the thrill of going on a battle. [/olist] [h1] In my opinion... [/h1] [b] 1971: Indian Navel Front grabs my attention as it focuses on a chapter from the Indian history 'The Indo-Pak war of 1971'. The game does not deviate from the actual history and the cut-scenes and the dialogues do help in explaining it very well. The gameplay itself does feel very 'Warthunder/Battlefield'ish which just meets my expectations from the screenshots on the Store page. I really like the 'Battlefield'ish type of control style in the aviation combats, but it does feel a bit off and sloppy sometimes. I really appreciate the passion that the creators have for the game and hope to see some improvements soon. I look forward for the Multiplayer experience when it releases. Cheers!!! [/b]

As a long time fan of war games, I just learnt about this game and was super thrilled to try it out. It delights me to see games from Indian Devs based on Indian war history. Very rare to find. Having said that, I will also say that I have played the first level and enjoyed it thoroughly. Make no mistake, it's not an easy game. The Jet has a learning curve but if you played Ace Combat, the jet mechanics here will feel familiar. Sounds can be improved, however. I am now on Level 2 and learning to fly the chopper. Training levels would have been great but at least they have recorded training videos. Hope, they update the game with some hand-held training levels in the future.

Good effort to preserve and present history for current and future generations through a new medium. The potential is there and it can only get better from here.

Playing a game set in the Indian war is a refreshing change from the repetitive WW1 and WW2 games. It provided valuable insights into the 1971 India-Pakistan war, particularly the naval front. I particularly appreciated the use of real footage and pictures in the Prologue and conclusion, which added an authentic and raw touch. The mission briefing effectively delivers all the necessary information for the current mission, including details about the units involved. However, I found the aircraft controls to be frustrating and cumbersome. While they resemble those in the Battlefield game, which worked well for dogfights. However, the initial encounters in 1971: Indian Naval Front involved aircraft and ships. And it is very frustrating to shoot the ships with the aircraft. Because of the controls, I often ended up doing kamikaze attacks instead of accurately targeting the ships. Introducing controller support would greatly alleviate this frustration and enhance the overall enjoyment of the game. The limitation to 30 FPS is a significant drawback, as it would be fantastic to witness the beautiful explosions in 60 FPS. Speaking of which, the explosions in this game are truly impressive. All things considered, the game is enjoyable and worth the price. I eagerly anticipate the addition of multiplayer mode in the future.

I think this game needs a lot more work. The frame of a good game is here. There is alot of passion put into this and I like that. However the flight physics leave a lot to be improved. For 1 thing the plane can turn way to fast and drag has no effect on it. Its like flying a space craft. I am willing to revisit this game in a year or 6 months to see if has improved but until then keep working. Its a good start.

Fun naval wargame with interesting historical background. Every mission is different, the game does not get boring. Some of the missions are harder than others (i,e first helicopter mission) but with persistent practise they are quickly finished.

This game doesn't even try pretending to be realistic. If you are interested in a history of conflict or like casual arcades - get it. Otherwise stay away. Controls, physics, weaponry - everything is highly imaginary.

Well, this ain't the German or the Ruskies, nor the Yanks, or the Chinese; this is a war that I do not recall ever being modeled in a naval sim before, and it's a very welcome addition. The early version does not have single missions (yet) and forces you into a very structured campaign. You cannot proceed until you complete the mission objective. The planes and helo controls are keyboard, but the devs say they will add joystick support, which will really improve the feel of controlling aircraft. The game environment is nice, with authentic sounding crew and radio messages, mist at night, and ship wakes -- all provide a good atmosphere. The first four or five mission have a nice variety! First person control of scout and fighter planes, helos inspecting cargo ships for contraband, rescuing commandos, hunting a Tench class submarine. Very enjoyable so far, can't wait to see the devs add single missions, joystick support, and multiplayer. Pretty cool game!
