I'm current 24 hours in and I love this game! I will give you some tips shortly but let me start by saying you won't be blown away with the graphics, even though it's a massive upgrade from the first game, but you will be blown away with the game play. It's quite addictive. I remember playing the first game when I was around 8 or 10 years old. I only realised a few weeks a go that this is the sequel to it because I had forgotten what you called it, it brought back so many memories as soon as I started playing this game. There is a learning curve, plus you need to develop and learn some strategies. There are a few useful youtube guides but be warned that these can be out of date. There has been some changes since they were made. I will start by saying what I have learned the hard way; Firstly you can no longer move stock from islands to the warehouse. Even though the game lets you drag the barges to and from, they take no stock. Only drag made barges firstly to the island you want stock from, then to your ship, if you want to create a loop ensure you drag it back to the island it came from. Red islands are the enemy. yellow are neutral and blue are yours. You can create stock at your islands. ensure at the very beginning you take as much stock from your warehouse starting location as you can and that you need, it's unlikely you will be getting much from here again. you can take a plane off in rough seas but only if you time it just right so that they don't fly straight into a high wave, but don't try and land them on the ship in rough seas, it won't end well. The sea will always be calm near an island, this is the best time. If you go far enough towards an island but not too far else you will ground it, but far enough in and the ship won't move with the tide or winds. There is no anchor, but doing this at and island will ensure it won't move. If you don't want to have to fight the enemy ship, useful as a beginner learning like me, then go straight to multiplayer and host a game. Choose 2 players and ensure there are no AI, then put on a password if you don't want anyone to join. This will ensure there is no AI ship to fight, and you can choose how many islands you start with and have to fight. If you choose 8 islands it appears the game will always start you with 1 island type of each available meaning you can have all the blueprints and start making all items and weapons. The game can be overwhelming, so start simple and choose a strategy to fight islands from a distance. Flying planes above 1000m at an island with a gimble camera is great when scanning for enemies and helping your cruise missiles from the ship hit their target. This works well for 1 shield islands with just 30mm cannons I find but you will all probably get better at this game than me and find your own methods. It is okay to play this game with just 1 player, I have and I have been having fun. The tougher islands and fights might become overwhelming but even if i'm just taking on lower islands and winning then i'm happy. Wish they would do a game like this with similar gameplay but better graphics, but this certainly removes that itch that I have to play games like this. Have fun captains.

I actually love the singleplayer campaign, its extremely slow burn, and all the actions take a while to play out, especially with logistics, but the game itself is so in depth, and the sandbox it allows you to play with is so vast and well designed, the controlling of individual drones or even individual parts of drones is really cool, and the many ways to counteract every attack is fascinating! every problem that arises in this game has many solutions, but the game itself does not really tell you much outside of the basics

Good things about this game: -Unique RTS, I don't know of anything else like it on the market -It is very fun and feels cool to stand on the bridge of the carrier and manually operate the controls for everything -10x better with friends -Everything feels realistic, even if it probably isn't -Carrier is very detailed- you never need to leave the bridge, but you can walk around and visit the different cabins, the flight deck, the vehicle storage, etc -Lots of different weapons from dumb bombs to cruise missiles -8 different types of deployable vehicle, each with a different role -You can target and fire weapons on one vehicle from a different vehicle. For example, you can fire the carrier's cannon from an orbiting aircraft. Trust me, this is fucking epic. -The feeling of dopamine releasing in your brain when you hit an enemy boat with a torpedo from 5km away -The feeling of dopamine releasing in your brain when you dive bomb the enemy carrier with a manta loaded with heavy bombs -The feeling of dopamine releasing in your brain when you absolutely shit on an enemy hanger from 10km away with a cruise missile before they can even think about launching their aircraft -Shoot your friends with the island CIWS turrets when they try to show off their "sick helicopter tricks" -The aircraft have a self destruct system you can use when your friends are doing "sick helicopter tricks" -The boat has a self destruct system that you can troll your friends with Bad things about this game: -Ground vehicles are borderline unnecessary (you can still use them if you want though, they can be fun) -The VR mode is so crap it's basically unplayable, which is a real shame because this game would be perfect for VR -Singleplayer is overwhelming if you don't know what you're doing -Some of the game mechanics are initially confusing/frustrating to learn -Lots of waiting around traveling between islands, refitting vehicles, repairs, producing new munitions, etc. (thankfully this can be fixed with mods) -The AI, particularly for the ground units, can be pretty dumb -SLOW BARGES (also can be fixed with mods) -The boat has a self destruct system your friends can troll you with Solid 8.5/10

An outstanding carrier-based sandbox strategy game. The AI does a decent job, but I find it more fun to pilot the planes and vehicles myself. It's way more fun in multiplayer, since everybody can take a role, and can pilot multiple airplanes at once to overwhelm the enemy. I've had a great experience playing multi: we went straight for the enemy carrier, and I piloted our carrier's front ramp over the enemy's flight deck, and our host (and captain, and person with the keys for the self-destruct mechanism) jumped down on the enemy carrier, ran for their bridge, and activated the self destruct mechanism there! Won after having conquered 5 islands. In conclusion: tremendous fun, good simulation, huge maps, most of the bugs and AI glitches have been patched, way more fun with 1-3 friends. (Oh, and if you want a more story-focused carrier experience, I've had a great time with Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising. An older but amazing game, written by Warren Ellis.)

Welcome back, Microprose! Carrier Command 2 is a spectacular re-imagining of a stone classic of yesteryear. It barely moves from the original design template -you still face one enemy carrier, both of you trying to takeover an archipelago to help defeat the other via the power of production and logistic- but instead innovates graphics, controls, systems and gameplay into a spellbinding modern recipe. As a singleplayer, don't be put off by the fully simulated 3D carrier bridge standing between you and the game - once you learn where everything is you'll be dancing around it taking down islands and enemy ships in no time. I ADORE the low-poly graphics and realistic lighting. Low-poly doesn't mean unsophisticated. There's a design clarity here that is hard to match with full texturing. In many ways the bridge is an expertly built HUD wrapped around a 3D frame. There's a bit of a learning hill to climb; you're honestly better watching some video tutorials online, but when you're in the thick of battle, remoting into aerial drones to mark targets for your cruise missiles and watching explosions light up the night sky there's very little else like this wonderful combat simulator lovingly hand-crafted by a company famous for them.
