Despite this, the gameplay systems are quite complex and faithful to history.
The game also includes effective line of sight, spotting, and gunnery systems to reflect the realistic ranges at which ships fought.Ītlantic Fleet certainly falls more into the category of a simulator than an action-packed romp and as such has a high learning curve and clunky UI. Ships are beautifully modeled and suffer realistic damage to subsystems, giving players accurate at-a-glance feedback as to the state of their forces. Atlantic Fleet is a highly accurate representation of strategic and naval combat in the Atlantic as Germany’s Kriegsmarine attempted to cut off the British Isles from supply. Starting off the list is the only naval warfare-focused game from Killerfish Games.
Definitely worth the download, because the short trial might not be enough for you to experience everything this game has to offer.The Best WW2 Strategy Games 17. Also, the 20 levels of single-player along with the online option make this a game that will last you a long time. The small level of violence and the tame language make this a game anyone can enjoy-young or old. The graphics and sound quality are great (minus the depiction of the sky in relation to the water), and the gameplay is smooth and easy to handle. Overall, Combat Wings: Pacific Heroes is a great flying simulation that will keep you interested for hours, especially if you are a WWII buff or plane enthusiast. Maybe when flying over the Pacific it is actually hard to determine the water from the sky, however, this game should break from being completely accurate and make a clearer distinction. This inability to distinguish the water from the rest of the map could cause you to fly too low and crash, or get totally confused because you can't tell up from down. It is difficult to tell between the water and the skies, especially on levels that are darker. These effects are accurate and make the game more believable and enjoyable.ĭespite having great graphics, one issue does come up when analyzing the aesthetics of the game. The game's sound is focused on the hum of the plane propellers and the sounds of the bullets leaving the gun. The audio effects are also fine tuned and accurate in this game. The planes are accurately portrayed and the details, even up to the bolts that hold the plane together, are visible and distinct. Graphically, Combat Wings: Pacific Heroes is great. If there was a missile locking feature (though this would not be historically accurate) it would be much easier to fire and hit your targets with the explosives. If you do connect, it's a beautiful and explosive sight however, nailing the planes down is a difficult thing to do. These missiles do not lock on, making it really difficult hit the opponent. The only flaw with firing the weapon is with your secondary missiles. You just need to line the cross hairs of your plane to the circled target that is your enemy. Firing your weapons, especially your gunner, is also easy to do and figure out. The buttons are clearly labeled and the planes you fly are easy to manage and responsive, and figuring out the balance between the mouse and the arrow keys to navigate your plane takes little to no effort. In the 20 levels you will get to shoot down the enemy Japanese fighter jets trying to take you out, bomb enemy carriers, and storm Japanese occupied islands.Īs far as gameplay is concerned this game is smooth.
