Good lord, yes. This would significantly distinguish this title from the rest of the field.

Really looking forward to this one.


Love Cold Waters. Never thought I'd see a modern equivalent of RSR, and it certainly delivered.


Thanks! :yeah:

welcome back!
 

Happy Easter! This time we want to show you some of the aircraft from our upcoming game Sea Power.

The RA-5C Vigilante plays a central role as the all-weather, long-range eyes of the fleet in your inventory, with a reconaissance system analogous to that of the SR-71 Blackbird.

Fleet defense duties are handled by the F-14 Tomcat, with its powerful AWG-9 radar and AIM-54 Phoenix missiles, capable of engaging up to six targets simultaneously, and intended to counter the Soviet cruise missile threat you are likely to encounter in the game.

We've also added the Kitty Hawk class of supercarriers to give these planes something to operate from while our Nimitz model is in drydock for a little overhaul. And for those of you comrades who are into surface raiding and fire support, here's a Sverdlov cruiser somewhere in a Norwegian fjord.

Apart from that we totally revorked environment lighting and clouds system.

Is it an actual simulation like controlling a ship or plane whilst on a bridge or in a cockpit similar to Dangerous Waters or is it an Arcade type game?

Your 3D models are truly one of the best around ! :Kaleun_Applaud:

@kapitanfred: It's more kind of a fleet command game but you will be able to control single units of your task force as well if you want to jump into some action. It's not an arcade game but not a hardcore sim either. We think it's important to do the right balance. Realism usually isn't fun for the most.


@Polak2: Thank you! Are you the one from Discord as well with that nick? :)

So Microprose is involved with this too I see!

They are! :)

Good to see them back in business again, and glad they are involved with this new sim too. :up:

Oh sweet baby Jesus YES!!!!!!!


I'm still playing Fleet Command 2-3 times a week and, while the core gameplay is still strong (not too hardcore, not too arcadey), the graphics have never been it's strong point so to see a new FC-style game coming out with modern graphics means that I'm over the moon.


I've already added it to my Steam wishlist!!!

Woow, this new sim looks amazing I can't wait to play it. I wanted to do a couple of questions but i've been reading the topic and I looked the anwsers I've been looking for..... The back of MicroProse to the business plus they're involved in the development of the game :rock:

Just saw this!

...and always wanted an up to date graphically pleasing version of Fleet Command.

That the Cold Waters guys are doing it is a bonus as I trust them to come up with a more elegant UI as FCs was a kludge.

Will be keeping an eye on this one.

Questions for the devs. re: USN carrier air wings;
- Will the EA-6B Prowler jamming aircraft be modeled?
- Will the F/A-18 Hornet aircraft be modeled?

The EA-6 will be in, the F/A-18 eventually. :)
