Well for pre-order in alpha sea trials anyways
You need dx11 for it.
Just thought in relation to Aircraft and similar games that some like me may like the older types of ships in a game called NAVAL ACTION.
Requires DX11 though. The open beta is due in a few weeks to a month for pre-order guys
You get to command one ship only and either play in open world or I think perhaps single scenarios or PVP/PVE battles.
Ships are individually customisable I believe.
What as a tester I am excited about is that you get down and fire ranging shots from deck level before releasing your broadside.
Can turn on and off individual gun decks and fire them in any order
Can allocate the crew to prioritise different task
Control the mast sails individually or auto
Contol the helm\rudder obviously along with the speed of the ship
Weather such as fog, storm seas among others
Choose round types like roundshot, chain, grape\shotgun sort of shot
Forts and I think other land things like ports and the like....
IIRC game tracks every ball fired and damage like smashed cannons and leaks or sail damage/masts falling off etc are all there.
The ships are pretty much replicas of famous real ships.
So far seen are the HMS Victory (over 100 guns), USS Constitution(heavy super frigate 44 guns), HMS Tricomalee (a match for the USS Connie?), cutter, brig, mortar brig, Yachts, HMS Surprise (Russel Crowes ship in master and commander), Bellona (74 guns).
Here are a few shots of me testing.
Anyone who loves Hornblower and 1700 - early 1800 age of sail ships might like this one. It's kind of unique.

P.S. I hope this is the right place to post. If I am breaking any rules just let me know.
