✓ Both are tactical first-person shooters — sharing shooter, first-person shooting and deep simulation

≠ Where it differs: brings real-time strategy, third-person shooting and ranged combat, while skipping adventure storytelling

Naval combat played at the pace of a strategy game: shells take seconds to land, so you fire where a ship will be, and positioning matters more than aim. Ship modelling is detailed. Progression slows sharply past mid-tier, and matches can be decided in the first two minutes by a single flank collapsing.
