Get DCS World DCS: Marianas WWII for PC

DCS World DCS: Marianas WWII is a World War II version of the Marianas terrain, depicting the archipelago under Japanese control in early 1944. Its 1,500 x 1,500 km map covers Saipan, Tinian, Guam, Rota and Pagan as they stood days before the first U.S. Marine amphibious landings in Operation Forager. You can create bombardments, beach landings and carrier strikes at locations tied to events from 15 June to 10 August 1944.

The wartime islands

The terrain recreates wartime coastlines, coral roads, sugar plantations and infrastructure, including Nan’yō Kōhatsu rail lines, Shinto shrines and cave depots. It contains no post-war structures, modern resorts or GPS beacons. Season-specific weather presets draw on wartime logs, alongside 1940s agricultural patterns and blackout lighting.

Airfields and defenses

Period airfields include Aslito, Ushi Pt, Orote and satellite strips, with wooden revetments, sandbagged searchlights and minimal radio aids. You navigate by compass, coastal landmarks and dim radio ranges. Assault beaches and coastal defenses are positioned from battle reports for Saipan on 15 June 1944, Guam on 21 July 1944 and Tinian on 24 July 1944.

Planned mission tools

A planned defensive campaign framework will track fuel shortages, convoy arrivals from Truk and gradual combat attrition as U.S. bombers probe the islands. Planned amphibious-invasion sandbox tools for the mission editor will include beach obstacles, pillboxes, LVT targets and minefields, letting creators stage the landings or rewrite history.
