Naval War: Arctic Circle is a real time strategy game for a strategy gamer. There is no hand holding here, one look at the game in action can show you that. In my time with the game I controlled a fleet of ships each able to launch its own variety of fighter jets and helicopters. I could also launch aircraft from a near by airfield that backed onto the water. I was able to customize what weapons my aircraft would attack with; targeting frigates, submarines, torpedoes or missiles.

Naval War will have you launching aircraft for various tasks, be that scouting for enemy submarines engaging other aircraft, supporting a ship battle with strafing runs against an opposing warship. Naval War will require you to think on your feet, making sure aircraft are refueled and, reloaded with fresh ammunition.
