Carrier Commander

Carrier Commander is a real-time strategy game in which you manage aircraft-carrier operations against incoming attacks. You can focus on managing your forces or take direct control of jets, destroyers and rescue helicopters to engage the enemy. Random AI generators make each game different.

Carrier operations

Purchase, configure, launch, land and refuel F/A-18C fighters to fight enemy aircraft, ships and submarines. You can upgrade the carrier’s AA defenses to fire multiple shells or reload faster, though upgrades are costly. Configure destroyers with deck cannons, torpedoes, AA rockets, short-range sonar and radar.

Hawkeye aircraft provide long-range sonar and radar, giving visual warnings of enemy advances. You can also launch 0H-58D attack helicopters to engage approaching enemies. Managing your assets is important to surviving.

Direct engagement

You can fly an F18 fighter or take control of a destroyer to fight incoming threats. F18s use guns, unguided and guided rockets, and bombs against enemy planes, ships and submarines. From a destroyer, you can search for and attack submarines, destroyers, battleships and enemy jets.

Ranks and missions

As you progress through the military ranks, you unlock Special Operation Missions. Money earned in each level becomes your starting funds for the next challenge, so limiting purchases of fighter jets and upgrades can increase your funds for the following level.
