Buy Command: Modern Air / Naval Operations WOTY PC key

Command: Modern Air / Naval Operations WOTY is an air and naval wargame in which you direct surface fleets, submarines, air wings, land-based batteries and satellite constellations. You command forces in scenarios spanning conflicts from the post-World War II era to 2020 and beyond, making decisions across battles that can range from a gunboat duel to strategic nuclear warfare.

Command your forces

You control units ranging from pirate skiffs to aircraft carriers, propeller biplanes to supersonic stealth fighters, and World War II-era bombs, torpedoes and mines to modern radars, reconnaissance satellites, self-guided stand-off weapons, supercavitating torpedoes and hypersonic anti-ship missiles. Sensors and weapons are modeled with their capabilities and limitations, and the simulation covers air and naval operations above and below the water, near-space, land forces relevant to those operations, mines and mine countermeasures, nuclear operations and other special weapons.

You can direct forces through a point-and-click interface, with hotkeys for navigating the action and issuing complex orders. Your staff and tactical AI handle many operational details: aircraft are prepared at airbases, position themselves to deliver their payloads and refuel when needed, while ships and submarines maneuver toward the enemy and try to avoid threats. You can take over whenever you want.

A world-scale battlefield

Scenarios use a 3D globe that you can rotate and zoom from satellite view down to the terrain and waves. You can play scenarios or create your own anywhere on Earth, including the Middle East, South Atlantic, North Cape, Europe, the Arctic, the Pacific and the Indian Ocean.

Terrain, weather, electronic warfare, technology, sensors and crew proficiency all affect combat. Terrain can conceal units or obstruct weapons; clouds and rain can prevent the use of laser-guided bombs. Aircraft can use different mission profiles and loadouts, or fly high for speed and range or low for protection. Underwater engagements can be shaped by thermal layers, convergence zones, surface ducting, the deep sound channel, water temperature and terrain slope. Stealth and jamming can also affect detection and the balance of a fight.

Crews and combat

Most war machines are operated by human crews, whose proficiency ranges from novice to ace. They act according to doctrines and rules of engagement, and may make rational decisions, brilliant calls or mistakes. Crew performance can make the same equipment far more or less effective: the description contrasts a surface-to-air missile battery operated by Iraqi or Libyan crews with one handled by expert Egyptian, Serbian or Russian operators.

Conflicts and scenarios

The included conflicts cover Korea, colonial wars, Vietnam, the Middle East, Cuba, the Falklands, the Iran-Iraq War, World War 3, Desert Storm, India and Pakistan, and the Arctic Circle, as well as past and future conflicts in the Pacific, Norwegian Sea and Russian periphery. You face land-based missile batteries, air regiments, naval fleets and pirate groups. The game includes 42 scenarios, three of them tutorials, and hundreds of community scenarios are available.

Create your own scenarios

The integrated scenario editor lets you build scenarios or modify existing ones. You can create detailed land installations, customize unit icons and sound effects, and change platform weapons and sensors. Set up multiple sides with complex alliances and postures, assign proficiency ratings, and give forces missions with custom behaviors and doctrines. The event editor supports interactive events, and you can set success thresholds ranging from triumph to utter defeat.
