The action in Naval Ops: Warship Gunner involves two unique phases: Design and Battle. At the start of the Design phase, players are given a mission briefing. Based on the mission’s objectives, players can construct or retrofit their ship with weapons, a propulsion system, aircraft, and defensive hardware. At this stage, players can also invest in new technology, develop new weapons, or purchase parts.
Strike hard. Naval Ops: Warship Gunner offers a complete array of weapons: from the mighty guns of World War II to present day weapons systems, 200 types of aircraft, and even an arsenal of the future. Furthermore, all ship components are assembled to depict a complete, highly detailed 3D model. The warships going into battle appear with the same exacting detail of the player’s original design.
Strike fast. The Battle phase puts player’s real-time combat skills to the test. Players must engage surface vessels and aircraft, destroy communications garrisons, and avoid high-G anti-ship missiles. Combat missions can take place around the clock making nighttime attacks a strategic option. For help, players can rely on fully integrated combat systems providing complete situational awareness, and access to all weapons systems.
Strike deep. Additional features include: a Warship Evaluation System, Survival mode, World War II mode, and Tutorial System.
