Navy Strike

Navy Strike is a flight simulation in which you serve as both a pilot and Task Force Commander (TFC). You manage airforce assignments and fly missions in one of three fictional political situations: Libya, Kuwait or the China Sea. Your orders must be carried out without triggering a war.

The three theaters

In Libya, you uphold UN trade sanctions imposed on the country. In Kuwait, you work to prevent a possible Iraqi re-invasion. In the China Sea, you oppose a no-fly zone China has imposed over the oil-rich Spratly Islands. Each theater begins in a politically tense situation where war has not been declared, and you decide how to carry out your orders as TFC.

Plan airforce operations

You control almost every aspect of flight assignments for your airforce, but not the fleet under your command. Ships serve as mobile landing strips for your aircraft. Your forces include the F/A-18E, AX and F22N, along with E2C early warning aircraft, which you cannot fly.

You plan missions using predefined weapon loadouts and waypoint templates. Templates provide a starting point that you can modify in the in-game waypoint editor: add, delete or change waypoints, set each aircraft’s altitude and assign specific actions at each waypoint. The game also has a range of difficulty settings. Higher difficulty calls for more efficient resource allocation and prioritizing, as you have limited resources and time. Flying as many assignments yourself is needed for an optimal outcome.

Flight and command

The flight sections use a flight model and SVGA graphics. You cannot give your wingman orders directly; to issue orders, you must take control of their plane.
