Modern naval warfare simulation
Take command of a modern task group. Hunt submarines in the Norwegian Trench, shadow a ballistic-missile boat out of the Kattegat, enforce an embargo off Montenegro, and fight off missile raids, with nothing but what your sensors and your radio nets tell you.
Coming early 2027 for PC
French FREMM, Horizon and La Fayette frigates, US Arleigh Burke destroyers, Korean KDX destroyers and Daegu frigates, their submarines, helicopters and patrol aircraft. Build your fleet on a points budget before each patrol.
Every contact is a track built from radar returns, ESM bearings and sonar. Passive sonar gives you a bearing and nothing more: work out range, course and speed by target motion analysis, then decide whether to shoot.
Layers, surface ducts, shadow zones, convergence zones, bottom bounce, fronts and warm-core eddies, all from regional sound-speed profiles. Read the waterfall and the narrowband lines to tell a merchant from a snorting diesel boat.
Radar and communications jamming, burn-through, deception against missile seekers, chaff drifting on the wind, decoys. Every transmission you make can be heard, so emission control is a real decision.
Link 16, Link 11, voice nets, SATCOM and the submarine broadcast, each with its own reach, delay and capacity. Land, ducting, jamming and a crowded net all decide what reaches the flagship, and when.
Hits land forward, amidships or aft. Fires spread between compartments, magazines can cook off, and generators can fail. Damage control teams fight it, and your lookouts can see the smoke on the enemy.
Each one has hidden variants, so the same orders do not always meet the same sea. Some end in a fight, and some in a report that there was nothing to find. Among them:
Flash Riser: Modern Naval Service is in development for PC. A single-player command simulation for players who want the sea as it is: uncertain, quiet, and decided by what you can detect.
