    Hi everyone,

    I'm the developer of Battle Fleet, a WW2 naval strategy game for iPad/Mac. Just wanted to let you guys know that I'm working on the sequel and plan to release it this summer for iOS, Android, Mac & PC platforms.

    Battle Fleet 2 Features:
    * Build your fleet from 5 different ship classes each with different hardpoint locations for mounting different weapons, different mobility, and different hit locations.
    * Use small caliber guns to pinpoint your shot and switch to devastating salvo mode, forcing all available guns in range and firing arc to fire at the same location.
    * Equip your ships with a wide variety of weapons including AA guns, torpedoes, and a plethora of different caliber naval artillery.
    * Utilize or neutralize a variety of aircraft, including recon planes, fighters, and bombers, launched from island bases, aircraft carriers, or cruisers.
    * Assign captains to each ship with special skills and abilities, like additional command cards or better mobility.
    * Play the strategic USA Campaign mode, random skirmish mode, full cross platform multiplayer, or even hotseat multiplayer.
    * Use recon to clear Fog of War and defeat enemy ground based airfields and coastal artillery.
    * Deploy Strategic Command Cards to surprise your enemies with special actions like deploying mines, sabotage, enhanced aiming, airstrikes and more!
    * Battle Fleet 2 features full 3D models of US and Japanese WW2 era ships.

    I hope this is not a free premium game with a lot of expensive inApps.

    No, the game will not be freemium. It will probably be around $4.99 maybe with a launch sale.

    Woah, this looks fantastic!

    Never heard of the first one, but from what I've now seen/read, I'll keep my eye on this. Seems like an awesome strategy title.

    Best of luck with the development
