概要
Task Force Admiral is a groundbreaking single-player command simulation that places you in the Flag Plot of an American carrier task force during the early Pacific War. Unlike traditional wargames, it abandons abstract 2D maps for a continuous, seamless 3D world where strategy, logistics, and real-time decision-making determine the fate of the fleet. From the tension of dawn search patrols to the chaos of saturation strikes, every moment is rendered with uncompromising historical fidelity.
ストーリー
Set during the pivotal years of 1941 to 1943, the game allows players to relive the desperate defense and eventual offensive of the US Navy against the Imperial Japanese Navy. Experience historically accurate recreations of legendary clashes like the Battle of the Coral Sea, Midway, and the Solomon Islands campaign, alongside intriguing 'what-if' scenarios that explore alternative tactical outcomes.
Gameplay
Assume the role of a Flag Officer, managing carrier air wings, task force formations, and defensive screens through an intuitive interface or a realistic first-person perspective. The gameplay emphasizes high-level command: planning air searches, coordinating time-on-target strikes, and managing deck cycles, all while relying on staff reports and navigating the 'fog of war' without direct micro-management of individual units.
Key Features
- 1Seamless 3D World: No separate operational maps; all action occurs in one continuous real-time environment.
- 2Massive Unit Roster: Command over 95 ship classes and 42 aircraft types, faithfully recreated.
- 3Advanced Air Ops: Manage detailed launch/recovery cycles, deck spotting, and hangar logistics.
- 4Deep Fog of War: Make decisions based on limited intelligence and staff reports, simulating true command tension.
- 5Mission Editor: Create custom scenarios or use the quick generator for endless replayability.
- 6Historical Authenticity: Accurate ballistics, damage models, and doctrine-based AI behavior.

Timeline
The Flag Plot Experience
Unlike typical RTS games where you hover over the battlefield, Task Force Admiral offers a 'Flag Plot' view. You stand on the bridge, surrounded by staff, viewing the battle through the iron glass of the tower or via plotting tables.
