Command: Modern Operations

Command: Modern Operations is a military simulation in which you direct modern warfare as a Tactical or Theater Commander. You command joint operations across air, surface, subsurface, ground, space and cyber domains, from post-WWII conflicts to near-future and 21st-century strategic battles. The simulation covers engagements at regional and theater scale, with thousands of active units operating in real time.

Command across domains

Coordinate forces such as carrier strike groups, stealth fighter sweeps, submarine wolfpacks, anti-ship ballistic missiles, orbital bombardment assets and offensive cyber operations. You can use radar jamming, communications disruption, spoofing countermeasures and anti-radiation strikes to target enemy Integrated Air Defense Systems before launching kinetic strikes. Scenarios can cover layered ballistic missile interceptions, long-range strategic strike packages, saturation drone waves and modern naval blockades.

Simulation and doctrine

The simulation models real-world ballistics, sensor degradation, thermal ocean layers, line-of-sight geometry and electronic attack. Its map engine also models radar propagation, sonar thermal layers, weather and terrain line of sight. You can set Weapon Release Authorities (WRA), Emission Control (EMCON) policies and automated patrol behaviors, while tactical AI handles pilot and captain responses as you direct the wider operation.

Scenarios and operations

The game includes over 600 official and community scenarios, as well as a scenario editor, Lua scripting and the Quick Battle Generator for creating or starting operations. Its database contains tens of thousands of real-world platforms, sensors and weapons modeled from real-world data. Tacview 3D visualization and adjustable time-step options are also supported.

Multiplayer

Real-Time Multiplayer lets you take command alongside or against other commanders in live tactical engagements. Players can coordinate joint strike packages and defensive networks in human-versus-human combat.
