HN Discussion:
  • ↑Game is impressive and enjoyable but needs UI/control clarifications and feedback
  • ↓Wind physics aren't truly realistic; sailing mechanics like tacking and dead angles are missing
  • ~Difficulty is too high with perfect enemy aim and limited healing options
  • ↑Suggestions for added realism like rudder-only-with-speed and richer simulation features
  • ~Browser registration model creates friction; prefer downloadable standalone version
