Command – Chains of War : premières images

Slitherine vient de dévoiler une nouvelle extension stand alone pour Command Modern Air Naval Operations. Intitulé Chains of War, cet add-on proposera 12 scénario sur le thème d’un conflit explosant dans le Pacifique entre Chine et USA.

Le jeu comportera de nouveaux mécanismes simulant les cyber attaques, le transport aérien et maritime de forces militaires, de nouvelles armes telles le canon électromagnétique, les lasers à haute énergie ou encore des armes EMP tactiques. Les avions bénéficieront aussi d’une meilleure modélisation des dégâts, permettant dans certains cas de retourner tant bien que mal à leurs bases au lieu d’être simplement abattus.

Pour quelques informations supplémentaires sur Chains of War, dont la date de sortie n’a pas été annoncée, voyez cette page chez l’éditeur.

Communiqué

Command: Modern Air / Naval Operations second standalone expansion announced!

After the great success of Northern Inferno, WarfareSims and Matrix Games are proud to announce Chains of War, the second standalone expansion of Command: Modern Air / Naval Operations!

A new generation of warfare is about to commence. In a world where the speed in communication is the blood of modern armed forces, new weapons are being developed to protect – or to poison – this blood.

Through 12 thrilling campaign scenarios, you will experience a full escalation in conflict over the Pacific Ocean between the United States and China, in which the high level of technology has broken all the old rules!

Or go back in time and experience conflict in 4 different historical hotspots!

Are you ready for the next level of War?

• NEW! Communications disruption by network/cyber attack or any other arbitrary factor: Isolated units realistically limit their tactical awareness to only what they themselves can detect and engage, and are completely on their parent side of control. Say goodbye to Borg-view of the battlefield!
• NEW! Cargo, landing and airdrop operations. Load mobile forces on ships, aircraft and even submarines, and unload them on any suitable point on the battlefield. Platforms are realistically limited by volume, weight and crew on what they can transport.
• NEW! Comprehensive damage model for aircraft. Aircraft may be shot down outright or receive damage that will still allow them to limp back home. Different aircraft can absorb different punishment on their fuselage, cockpit and engines. Depending on the amount of damage received a plane may be « mission killed » if its repairs take so long that it misses the fight.
• NEW! Advanced weapons for the new age of war. Tactical EMP weapons, railguns, high-energy lasers and more!

Alternatively, it can be integrated as a new set of scenarios for owners of the original Command: Modern Air/Naval Operations Game of Year Edition!
