DESCRIPTION

Fighting Steel: World War II Surface Combat 1939 - 1942 is a three-dimensional naval combat simulation that recreates some of the most exciting sea battles of World War II. Players choose to command single ships or full divisional fleets in the American, British, German or Japanese naval forces.

Fighting Steel's action is real time and its ships are based on fully rendered and textured 3D models. The auto-camera feature allows players to view each battle from many different angles. The game features battle scenarios based on historical events, randomly generated computer scenarios and full battle campaigns. It also includes a scenario editor that allows players to design custom battles.

Players have access to a library of more than 1,000 ships spanning nearly 100 classes from which to view 3D images. Visibility effects include such components as weather-reduced sight, searchlights, smokescreens and running lights. Crews have ratings in fatigue, combat experience and night fighting as well as other aspects of war at sea. Other features include friendly fire concerns, 50 unique guns and more than a dozen types of torpedoes.

Players can wage war against the computer or play multi-player games of Fighting Steel on a network or on the Internet. ~ Anthony Baize, All Game Guide
