Scrolling down the page or using search will produce multiple threads regarding this question. There were definitely some early flame wars that ignited when it was released, more so because of a perceived posturing of this gaming replacing the older legacy Harpoon series in both scope and depth of detail. Most of the early discussions had some validity of points on both sides, price, lack of a demo, UI, and playability. However, with the evolution of version 1.04, the price point and support by the development team and it's contributors, such as Baloogan, make it a very worthy investment. Since both NWAC and FC are no longer supported by it's developer and you're at the mercy of modders and Microsoft's updated OS's, the choice to buy and move into the 21st Century of this genre release makes even more sense.
Please note, there will always be some that try to derail the value of the product, but it has more to do with them not accepting the true value of the game in it's continuing evolving entirety. Also, I suspect their loss of local subject matter expert on a dying legacy platform is hard for them to accept as well.
Here is a link to one of many threads within this forum, you'll see what I refer too.

Am I biased, perhaps, but consider myself more of a convert. I played FC/NWP, Harpoons I-IV, NWAC and now CMANO. It is the dedication of support by the development team and it's players, such as
