WOW! If you are looking for a very good Naval Combat Simulator, look no further. Very impressive 3-D graphics. For example, you can rotate your 3-D screen below the water and view the ship's propellers...just spinning away! On the slightly negitive side, I did have some installation problems, which were fixed by a patch on the Jane's website. Once the patch was installed, the game does work well with Window's 98. I have not had a crash during a game yet (have had it for a couple of months). It does tax my poor old Pentium II 266 in some of the larger missions. All I can say is... it beats the heck out of Harpoon.

Its a fun Naval war game with good senery, well it is to me and others. It gets very intense when you misiles coming twards your fleet. you need to trust the fleet to do the right thing, like get a good shot at targets. Allthow you need to now when and how to atack the enemy, if youre in good range or if the wepon is goingto be intersepted. So you need to act fast and parerfull. So if you like real time Naval war and you now your Navy this is the game.

This is an excellent game. Its very realistic in the unfolding of modern naval combat. If you are looking a shoot-em-up or midless blasting of everything in sight, this game is not for you. Modern naval combat is not like it is in the movies or TV, there are stretches of slow, deliberate strategic movement followed by short and intense mindblowing frenzies of combat. The game also really duplicated the dreaded "fog-of-war" where things moves so quick, you can't keep up with everything. This game was the perfect simulation of real-time, real-life naval warfare. In no less than what you would expect from something with the "Jane's" name on it.

Jane's does it again.

I bought Usaf then F/A 18 then WW2 fighters and now fleet command I have been a big Jane's fan and now that I bought this game I wonder does Jane's always make games this great.

First, the point of this game is to use a navy fleet to totaly destroy your enemy. This game takes a long time to play but it's an excellent time killer. You have to command Battle ships and even carriers and their aircraft. From the battle ships you can shoot anything from guns to Tomahawk Cruise Missiles. On the carrier you can control the aircraft and helicopters and you can even put aircraft on alert 5 which is on the catapult so if any goes wrong you can launch them right away.

this game is very good!!

fleet command is a game for someone with brains. it has a simple point and click interface which is easy to use. fleet command requires you to make the tactical decisions of a fleet including aircraft, carriers, subs,ect.

Awesome addicting strategy !

This is an all-time great. Easy to learn, great simple interface and very addicting naval warfare action. You can zoom the views to see the action up close, instead of just watching icons and symbols...the guy who gave it 1 star needs to learn how to play or go back to nintendo. He is in error in his statements about a US carrier only having 4 strike planes and that ships dont automatically fire in defense against missiles...in no time you will have DOZENS of planes in the air at once as you control your massive strike force with relative ease!

great game with only a few flaws

Fleet Command is an excellent simulation of naval operations. The major flaw is that because it concentrates on naval warfare the land based parts of it are lacking. For example there is only one type of SAM unit (the 1960s SA-6) and a lot of the world's aircraft have been left out. However if a modern fleet sim is what you are looking for, Fleet Command is the right game for you. I just can't wait until they decide to come out with a WWII version:)

I bet the US Navy are using a simulator like this

This is by far the best Navy warfare simulation you can find, unless you are in the military. It runs completely in real-time, provided a real-time battle field situation. You get to combat with numerous navy ships and weaponries in the world. It contains many will-it-happen situations such as a coalition defends Taiwan strait from invading Chinese navy, US navy clashes with the Russians. Real life battles such as gulf war are included as well. The real-time battle situation is provided in 3-D graphics. You can watch the USS Nimitz launches her fighter squadrons, missle, a SM-2 intercepts a Russian supersonic anti-ship missle. All in true-to-life detail, and it requires very little system resource to run it in great smoothness. The interface is designed for easy use of almost anyone. Every action can be done by mouse click.

One of the best games ever

WOW! This game is absolutely amazing, the graphics are pretty good, the action is almost too much to handle at times. The other reviewer is sorely mistaken. I had no manual and I easily found out how to use this game. You left click to select and right click to make the unit move and attack. If you right click on the unit, you will be able to select from a whole menu of choices like weapons, pick a weapon, then right click on an enemy unit to attack. When you click on a unit a picture of the unit appears in a box in the bottom center of the screen, this is a real-time display of the unit too. If you hit F3 the picture takes the place of the tactical overlay and the tactical overlay in put in the picture's old spot. Hit F1 to get a handy help menu which tells you which buttons do what.

I have found that YOU CAN CHANGE THE TACTICAL OVERLAY. What I mean is that instead of looking at the little "Blue dots" the other guy was talking about, you can see little pictures of the ships. THESE PICTURES ARE CHEESY. But if you want to change them, simply right click on the tactical overlay, without anything selected and a menu will pop up, select 3-D icons, and you will get the little pictures. The yellow dots are unknowns and if you select a unit then right click on the yellow dot it will identify it, however your unit must first move in close enough to see the yellow dot, if the dot changes to green it is neutral, if it changes to red, then it is enemy.

Bottom line this game is addictive and fun, this was my first game of this sort of set-up and it is easy to use, I hope I helped you out with this review.
