War on the Sea

War on the Sea is a real-time naval combat game set in 1942, as the Japanese Empire expands across the Pacific and Allied forces fight to stop it. You command forces in the struggle for control of the Solomon Islands, deciding how to protect transports carrying troops and supplies in the South Pacific. You can deploy aircraft carriers for air cover, screen the area with submarines or try to draw the enemy navy into a surface engagement.

Naval combat

Combat is shown from theatrical external views. You can play as the Allied Forces or Imperial Japan, with over 50 classes of playable ships. The game includes tactical control of aircraft, but is not a flight simulator. Ship damage can require you to fight fires, counter flooding in compartments and make repairs; ships sink using realistic buoyancy physics.

Campaign and missions

A dynamic campaign accompanies historical missions based on actual naval engagements.
