Can you imagine being strapped into a cramped cockpit, up at the top of the world, fighting WW3 in the cold of high altitudes?

I can imagine that it would certainly be better than being surrounded and chewed by sharks and giant squids hahaha

Wonder if TK will have some updated menu music band If not, I can see me adding USNF music.

Wow these WIPs are awesome!

I really like era/subject of this game. I hope it sells well for TK. The other great thing is that any gaps in the planeset will or already have been filled by modders.

The RN CV, Phantoms and Buccaneers seem like they would fit in well with this scenario. I think the Ark Royal was decommissioned around the end of the 70s.

Nice looking California class CGN there, and it is modernized carrying the Phalanx. Knox FF is also quite a looker.
looking forward to taking the Turkey out over the vast nothingness of the North Atlantic.

Between this and Artic Circle we'll have our cold war military simming needs met. Can't wait.

Multiplayer (or the lack of it) has never been a tremendously demanded feature. I don't see TK devoting much time to it.

The naval combat, if it is as functional as it looks, is going to add a completely new dimension to this game.

Arctic Circle takes place in 2030.

Command will have databases from post WWII through the near future.

Artic Circle and Command are hardly similar games, unless I am missing something. Artic Circle is definately "wargame" lite - admitted concession to fun over reality, but nice graphics that should be fun to watch (ala Fleet Command). Command looks more like something along the lines of Haroon; i.e. full-real war simulator, but light on the "lite" fun.

Correction noted. My brain is still seeing Artic Circle as the new Fleet Command. Still, these games are for those needing to fill that naval sim need. Don't think I'd enjoy command. Don't have the inclination or time to learn something like that.

Nice, lovely 'cat.

Just, I keep thinking water looks a tad too plasticky. Dunno, I suppose the reflections should get less and less detailed the farther they are...

Mah, probably it's me.

Still looks quite nice.

No I see what you mean Komemiute. I think the new water looks great but it does sort of have that look. Maybe because it sort of looks like the TW engine glued onto Dangerous Water's water engine. But I still think it looks great and will be a welcome upgrade to TW's current water.

I saw a picture with a Hawkeye. Do you think we'll get at least simple radar support from them? I miss those little mfds you used to be able to pull up in USNF. Although we have full pits now with working instruments unlike USNF.

My hope is that we can get data-link targets on the F-14 radar screen (sent by the Hawkeye) which happened in the real F-14.

Don't forget the fact that TK makes lite sim's. Looking at these new pic's, this is starting to look up, I love the details on the ship's, but adding to any wish list, in addition to the data-link, how about a functioning Rio with weapons mode capability, Same with the A6 Intruders as BN's. Man, Just thinking about a multi-player with this...well it would make SF2NA flat out awesome, Anyone care to chime in with idea's. All this off course in my perfect sim world. grunt

This is EXACTLY what I used to love about modern aviation. Yeah the first Hornets on top: will have to download those.


Airplanes are now built to carry a pilot and a dog in the cockpit: the pilot's job is
to feed the dog, and the dog's job is to bite the pilot if he touches anything...
