Description: The gameplay in Naval Ops: Warship Gunner involves two unique phases: design and battle. At the start of the design phase, players are given a mission briefing. Based on the mission?s objectives, players can construct or retrofit their ship with weapons, a propulsion system, aircraft, and defensive hardware. At this stage, players can also invest in new technology, develop new weapons, or purchase parts. Players can also bypass the process of ship design, and proceed directly into battle using ships based on actual naval craft. The battle phase puts the player?s real-time combat skills to the test. Players engage surface vessels and aircraft, destroy communications garrisons, and avoid high-G anti-ship missiles. Combat missions can take place around the clock making nighttime attacks a strategic option. Dense fog and heavy storms are just some of the other conditions that players must contend with. For help, players can rely on fully integrated combat systems providing complete situational awareness, and access to all weapons systems. [KOEI]
