ANY IDEA IF THE ADD ON FOR CARRIER STRIKE WILL BE INCLUDED IN THIS GAME .I EMJOYED THE BEARCATS,TIGERCATS AND SKY RAIDERS.I HAD THIS ADD ON FROM SSI AND THOUGHT IT ADDED ALOT TO THE GAME

Carriers At War is an SSG product.
 
 

2x3 will be using an updated Carrier Strike engine to add to their Uncommon Valor Deluxe that they are working on. I also think that they are planning a separate release also.

Both CAW and Carrier Strike were great games; I reckon I'll just have to buy both of them once again.

carriers at war is an ssg product but carrier strike is ssi or i should say was ssi..the same people who made pacific war..and war in russia

I don't think any new version of Carrier Strike is being planned.
I am surprised that so many gamers are unaware these are two seperates games on the same topic.

I don't think any new version of Carrier Strike is being planned.

Actually, something appears to be in the works in this regard:

Carrier Strike with quite good at the time. Never really liked many of the SSG games. Found SSI was a bit more of a polished product. IMHO.

i had both and enjoyed them..although id have to lean more toward carrier strike with the role playing aspect

I remember playing a game (don't remember name) where you were given a
bomb-site view when the planes were bombing ships (carriers included).
You would see the bombs hitting the ships or making a round splash near them.
Could this have been "Carrier Strike" or maybe another game? It was definately
in the WW2 area....

i dont think it was either of these games...maybe tf1942??

Hi Jim,
Sounds like our original carriers at war.

Ive found a screenshot of the original here

Hi,

Carrier Strike by SSI gave you a top down view of the air attacks on both Task forces and land targets showing bomb strikes and torpedo hits ( you heard the torpedo enter the water and then waited for an explosion )

thats cool

I bought and played both Carrier Strike and Carriers at War.  They both had plusses and minuses.  In CS I liked the control that you could exert over the ordnance that you a/c carried and how you could determine the strike makeup. The graphics and how the TF's moved, however, left alot to be desired. And you couldn't control ground based a/c. However, I used to have a little program that I got form the web where you could import battles from Pacific War into C Strike and then play them out. You couldn't transfer the results, but it was fun to play.
 
CAW was chocked full of graphics (so much so that I had to go buy a new graphics card for my old PC) but the game just seemed to fly by alot of the time without much really happening. Just the same, a few years ago I bought the Super Duper Ultimate Deluxe CAW and played it quite extensively. The graphics were still great and I had tons of fun with the editor, something else C Strike was lacking.
 
I liked both games and I hope that htis new CAW has something new features that add to the gaemplay and is not just a rehash of the original.
