Battlestations Pacific.
« on: April 27, 2009, 06:07:10 PM »
This may interest a few people that are not in to "hardcore realism". It's a game called Battle stations Pacific. It's set in the Pacific....as you can tell by the name. It's a part RTS part action. I would say a 50/50 split. If you played the first one it was a little gammie but this one is way better. It has cockpit views for all the planes( even the experimental). It's a mix of Land(tanks) sea( ships such as CV, battle ships, destroyers,cruisers ext). Under see with subs. And of course in the sky with a load of planes from both the Axis and Allies. It may not be as accurate as AH, but you can stall out, black out, red out ext. You can command any of the units in the game and create what units you want. It's for the Xbox 360 and PC. I cant really explain it that well but if your interested check out battlestationspacific.net 

As your looking through yes there is the P80.B29 The manned torpedo and the maned kamikaze bomb dropped by Betty bombers. It also has the Japanese version of the 262 and 163. As you can see there's a wide assortment of ships.

That list was from last month. So you never know. I think they have done a hell of a job looking up all the ships speeds, gun range , how much damage it can take armor thickness. Oh and if you go to deep in the subs, they implode. And did i say that you can kamikaze planes into ships if your playing as the Japanese. A lot of work done in only a few years.

Is this anything like Battlestations Midway?

Yes, I'd say its pretty much an updated, better graphic, more detailed, more featured, more realistic Battlestations Midway.
