More simple version: 1. Becareful: this "game" is not Starcraft, Company of Heroes, Warcraft III, ARMA, War Thunder; this game is more like Fleet Command, Harpoons or Seapower. In fact, for many gamers, this will not feel like a game at all, but a military simulator, it doesn't even look like Civilization where you still can see some figures that resemble the unit, but this is not its aim. This is a very professional modern military simulator that aims at testing the effectiveness of modern military strategies. 2. You are pretty much a commander at your desk, this means you'll have complete control over every unit and set rules (ROE - Rules of Engagement) for them, this also means you won't be able to see the actual unit - the 3D model 3. This game is really difficult for beginners who have not played Harpoons or Fleet Command, there are tons of things to learn, user interface, Rules of Engagement, and most importantly, the technical data of each unit. 4. You can't just right click to send a unit to a direction and just expect it to kill another. Your unit needs proper ammunition that aims at different targets. There are air-air-missles(AAM), air-surface-missles(ASM), land-ship-missles, surface-surface-missles(SSM), as well as guns for units. You need to take care of things like radar(differences in range, and some radars work better at discovering targets and tracking certain targets), altitude, changes in speed(like real weapons, many missiles have different stages with different speeds) 5. The units have their own intelligence and act according to situations and the ROE you set for them. It will withdraw automatically when there's incoming missle, and will engage targets with the number of missles according to your ROE for the specific weapon 6. Most of the units are set according to real military data, some of them are changed (probably for balance or to make it more like a game) 7. in terms of probability, this game rolls the percentage and uses modifiers like how close the missile is to the surface, this may seem unrealistic to some but it's fine for me 8. the most issue with this game (besides the fact that it's complicated) as of 127 hours is that it doesn't utilize enough of the CPU to run smoothly, every time I have 300 units or more on the map, it will start to lag, this means i can't have a modern warfare with several DDGs firing dozens of missiles at the same time without setting speed to x5 or x1, if the developer can fix this, it would be awesome 9. An upside, if you have the patience, you will learn about many modern military weapons that are very advanced, and the most exciting thing is what they can do together as a system. 10. the map editor is awesome, no java codes required, but you can pretty much create any battles out of your imagination, be it air, land, or sea 11. Seapower is much easier to understand, but has far fewer possibilities compared to CMO. update: 2025.4.17 1. bug - sometimes, when I'm doing a mission I created myself, I would suddenly find my planes flying over africa when they took off from a country in asia. 2. sound - really cool bg music, very limited sound effects update 2025.5.9 from day 1, when i almos wanted to refund this game for the 2nd time, cuz i had no clue what i was doing, to today -- I'm currently working on a mission on the editor, on a scenario:. country A has a series of missle boats and advanced destroyers along with land facilities like SAMs and SSM. Country B also has a DDG and a few missle boats, The advantage of country B is the US patriot SAM system combined with THAAD, powerful SSM called Dark Eagle and finally, the sick laser system- IFPC HEL(hypothetical) , it can only be taken out with saturation attacks. awesome game, too much potential My updates(2025.5.13): 1. Updates. Why aren't we seeing updates? This game has so much potential, it's a pity it just stops at this stage. 2. Performance. when there are many units or when warships are firing their guns(because each shell counts as a unit), the game can run sluggishly. while this sounds normal, considering the game doesn't have any realistic models of units, this should be improved 3. Regarding conditions/actions - should make them simpler to use. Starcraft 1 had an editor that had very simple algorithms that allowed users to create maps with conditions and actions within seconds, 0 java required.

You will find that most people who are posting negative reviews, did not appreciate what exactly this is. It is less a game, but rather a complex military simulator. It is exceptionally detailed, and has immense depth - covering many nations, and nearly any piece of military hardware (provided it has an entry in "Janes"). And if you don't know what Janes is, then I suspect this 'game' probably is not for you. If you do - then I suspect you will enjoy this.

I am concerned that the NSA is being pinged every time I fire this game up. I can feel the NSA agents connecting anonymously to my Steam account and recording my game. I'm pretty sure that Tom Clancy's estate has direct access also to my PC whenever I start up this game. After I played this game against Syria and took down their forces and saved Assad's regime, I soon started seeing blacked out SUVs following me. Not only that, but I swear drones are constantly following my every move in New Jersey. I can hear them... see them.. feeeeeel them. This game... it IS just a game, right? I'm not ACTUALLY making decisions for our military, am I? Is this game really just an interface into WOPR at NORAD? I'm scared... I think Russians are watching me and using my tactics I've learned in this game.

Not as intimidating as it looks. They've even got little ship and airplane counters if you don't like the NATO Symbology.

The most detailed modern operational-level air and naval wargame commercially available. It still has a long way to go for plausibly simulating land operations, whether it's even achievable on the current engine. Clunky UI and the simulational realism of some of its systems is up to debate, but it's constantly improving and still under active development. As expected, whether it's actually a good "game" or just a toy for edgy dudes depends heavily on scenario design. At least the official ones I've tried are high quality and there's a plenty of fan-made content to dive in. Overall, well worth its steep price.
