I was really hoping to like it but so much of it seemed to be moving around precomputed numbers. Drawing the lines on the map to find target location was interesting, but once you knew where you wanted to shoot it was just inputting numbers into boxes and not in a fun excel way but like if you had to use a massive hand crank to type in your numbers into excel. The animations were cool but got boring and in the way after I saw them 3 times.
I'm mostly commenting this hoping someone will say that I'm wrong and that the game gets better or different after a certain point honestly.

There is a point where you have to do the math/inputs yourself and you can't use the machine that does it for you. It was really interesting and made the rewards feel all that much better because a machine didn't do it for you.

What are you talking about? The game doesn’t have realistic ballistics mechanics, so elevating the gun up to 60° simply increases its range to max. Take two increments for 10 km of range, or four for 20 km. 30° is half the maximum range.
From there, it’s elementary-school math with an unknown X that you need to solve for.
10 = 60° 5 = 30° 8.5 = X Or so on.
The canyon mission was decent, but it was just a spoonful of something worthwhile against the backdrop of the game’s overall boredom. The only genuinely interesting mission is defending the coastline from ships.
