SEA POWER - Naval Combat in the Missile Age

The game would be far too one-dimensional without them, so definitely.

Marvelous! So we can count on a possibility to land some marines from a on a transport from a helicopter?


In CW I was able to solve this (kinda) by forcing all neutral ships to stop if the player is within 2 miles of them, and at least play some kind of approach, and removing damaged and surfacing subs from list of enemy ships, but that's, of course, nothing but a workaround.

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?

[Polak2]

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

@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!

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!!!

On my Steam wishlist already! These images look sensational. Addition of F/A-18 would be an essential for me. So excited about this. And the return of Microprose! They got me into this genre when I was a kid.
Keep teasing us with these images

Another blog post. (https://store.steampowered.com/newsh...94871659375337)

More of a technical update for sure but those videos look extremely impressive.
