 | | Pacific Storm: Allies gives you new units to construct, new historical locations to visit, a
diplomatic system that allows you to form alliances and a brand new version of the engine that
brings better graphics than ever... The improved multiplayer system will push the experience of
playing with people over the internet or on the same local network to the top of the realism
tree. Every scenario, map, and element has been created based on historical archives. Those who
love WWII history will love this game.
Your fleet in Pacific Storm: Allies includes battleships, aircraft carriers, destroyers,
cruisers, missile cruisers, submarines and torpedo boats as well as tankers and transports. The
aerial war is conducted using fighters (at first piston-powered and in later stages jet fighters),
attack aircraft, torpedo bombers and strategic bombers. There are 86 different types of unit,
all carefully modeled from WWII-era aircraft and ships, in the game. Also, you can develop new
technologies and create new weapons systems, which may almost instantly overturn the global
balance of power. About 100 technological improvements (upgrades) enhancing combat effectiveness
of warships and military aircraft are available. In addition to the strategic mode with its 127
different Pacific zones and 40 naval bases, you can play 20 historical battles, including the
Battle of Midway, the attack on the Japanese admiral Yamamoto's plane and the battle for
Guadalcanal.
