A masterpiece of historical naval warfare. The combination of carrier operations, air strike planning, and surface combat creates intense strategic depth. Every decision matters – from CAP deployment to strike package coordination. The fog of war and intelligence system keeps you guessing. Beautiful hex-map presentation and immersive Pacific War atmosphere. Learning curve is steep but rewarding. If you love carrier tactics and WWII history, this is essential. 10/10 for hardcore wargame enthusiasts. Bravo to the developers for preserving this niche genre with such dedication
Wunderbar!

本来我友好的提出了一个游戏内需要优化的内容,但是由于制作组的极度傲慢(他们不仅没有采纳建议,甚至没有说谢谢),我不得不改为差评。 我找了很久都没有找到这样一个功能:让来自A机场和B航母的机群在C位置完成编队然后一起攻击,攻击之后一起撤离到D,再分开回到各自的机场。 以及随机数设计的有些过于随机了,我竟然能被8架舰爆顶着48架野猫一轮把大黄蜂打沉了,同时64架SBD在对面零战不在的情况下打失去动力的赤城一发不中?
这是一款十分好玩的战棋类游戏。 如果说满分十分,我认为可以给到9分。 真的十分希望可以推出更多的剧本。
I love it! Streamlined, easy to play, tense with lots of suspense. Great wargame! Very well-designed scenarios covering key air and naval operations from the Pacific theater. I would love to see the full Operation Cartwheel campaign from Guadalcanal in the summer of 1942 to the capture of the Admiralty Islands in the spring of 1944, which finally sealed Rabaul's fate. Maybe the scope is too large for this game, but the complete Solomon Island campaign, covering the island hopping from Guadalcanal to New Georgia to Vella Lavella, to Bougainville, and finally to the Admiralty Islands, and all its associated naval and air operations, would be a perfect capstone. Although I recognize that it may be too big for the focus of this game, that would be my dream scenario. :)
The first thing I noticed is that this game is not playable without an internet connetion. There should be a big banner across the store page warning potential buyers about this kind of business practice. All your saves are on the cloud and not on your computer. Your abiility to play is dependant on someone elses computer. The second thing I noticed is that the game is built on unity engine.
Après plus de 50 heures sur Carrier Battles, le jeu reste toujours aussi prenant. La gestion des porte-avions, de la reconnaissance et des frappes aériennes est très immersive et chaque décision tactique compte vraiment. Un excellent jeu de stratégie navale, profond et très satisfaisant à maîtriser sur la durée.
Excellent jeu qui vaut le coup de s'investir. Il me rappelle le jeu solitaire "carrier" de Victory Games.
nice game
As a wargame set in the Pacific theater of World War II, it surprisingly features solid game mechanics and well-crafted scenarios. Although there are still issues with some stats and mechanics (for example, the Japanese Ki-100 fighter is given a higher air combat rating than the F6F Hellcat, which is absurd), I believe it is already one of the best products of its kind on the steam.
