Our take on Carrier Command

Rather than separating strategy from action, the game places carrier management, air strikes, amphibious assaults, reconnaissance, and logistics in one campaign. Island capture is tied to maintaining supply routes, making operational support part of the forward movement instead of a background system.

What is Carrier Command?

Carrier Command combines carrier operations, air combat, amphibious assaults, and strategic island capture.

Players launch strikes against enemy positions, deploy amphibious tanks from the sea, and modify fighting vehicles with weapons and sensors stored aboard the carrier. A tactical map supports campaign planning, reconnaissance of opposing supply routes, and carrier defense against attacks. Logistics connect islands and support continued movement through the campaign. The setting centers on volcanic islands formed by molten energy, whose materials attract a foreign occupying force. The campaign therefore links direct combat with vehicle customization, island control, reconnaissance, and supply management.
