Features:

New levels of realism

Supremacy at Sea is a strategic game to command; but its highly detailed AI gives it the flavour and realism of a tactical sim: "Fog of war" - know your enemy and his movements through intelligence and reconnaisance. Dynamic weather - low pressure systems build and move; dead calm through to force 6 hurricanes. Detailed modelling of surface ship combat, shell-by-shell, torpedo-by-torpedo, with special damage to turrets, machinery, magazines, conning tower and other areas. Detailed damage effects, damage control, flooding and targeting are updated every minute of battle. Differences between countries in 10 key technologies affect fighting capabilities. Very challenging AI opponent -every bit as strong as your own 2-I-C. You alone can guarantee victory! 6 Nationalities

The six great naval powers of the 1940s are represented - the United States, Japan, Great Britain, Germany, Italy and France.

You can play for any of these, against any other. In Supremacy at Sea, some historical and geographic liberty has been taken - it is 1941, and all six countries are bitter maritime rivals, on the brink of war with each other. Germany has held back from invading France on land. Pearl Harbour is still just a plan. Old alliances, such as between Britain and the United States, count for nought. New enemies are everywhere. All countries face each other across hostile seas. All are dependant on maritime trade with a neutral power.

Historical Ships

All the famous battleships, cruisers, escort ships and submarines are represented, including ones never launched: the mighty Yamato and Musashi, the Iowas and Montanas, the Bismarck and the 'H' class monsters, the British Lion class, and many more.

If this choice is not enough, you can improve them or design entirely new ships. Aircraft Carriers are a special case in this game. In real life, they became so powerful they rendered battleships obsolete, and the Americans, Japanese and to a lesser extent the British relied on them greatly. But the Germans, Italians and French never had a viable carrier. In Supremacy at Sea, the role for the mighty battleships still shines brightly, especially given that you can build them up to 130,000 tonnes in size! But every country can also have carriers. The choice is yours.

Designing Ships

In addition to the historical ships, you can modify them or create entirely new designs from scratch. It takes only a few seconds to set the size, speed, range, number and calibre of main guns, quantity of secondary armament, armour, and general protection and seaworthiness for a ship. This gives you nearly 2 million possible designs!

Using your 2-I-C

You have a famous Admiral as your 2-I-C, ready to take any decision for you if you are still learning the ropes, or simply to speed up gameplay. The American player has Spruance, Halsey, Mitscher and King to choose from. Each has a preferred strategic approach - very aggressive, very cautious or in between - and will advise you accordingly.

Minimum and recommended system specifications are as follows:

Notes: 1.  The performance of larger scenarios is likely to require greater than the minimum specification, especially RAM. See the in-game guide for tips on getting the best performance from the hardware you have. 2. SAS WW2 is a multi-threaded application and dual core chips will show better performance than single-core chips with the same theoretical clock speed.
