Gunboat: River Combat Simulation

Gunboat: River Combat Simulation puts you in command of a U.S. Navy River Patrol Boat (PBR) during riverine combat. You pilot the boat and fight through over 20 missions across Vietnam, Colombia and Panama, facing Colombian drug cartel forces, troops loyal to a deposed Panamanian dictator and renegade Viet Cong.

Patrol the rivers

The PBR is a 30-foot boat weighing eight tons and capable of 29 knots. Missions take place across three maps, where you identify target destinations and key river sites. The combat zones depict soldiers, bridges, mines, docks, sampans, APCs and canyons. The boat’s spotlights and radar are functional.

Crew the boat

You can take a first-person position at any of four battle stations: the bow, stern or mid-section gun positions, or the pilot’s helm. All four crew members are cross-trained for one another’s tasks, so another crew member can take over if one or two are wounded or killed.

Boat weaponry

The PBR’s weapons include twin .50 cal. M2HB machine guns, .30 cal. M60D general-purpose machine guns, a Mini-TAT rapid-fire gatling gun, mortars and grenade launchers.
