ABOUT PACIFIC THEATER OF OPERATIONS IV
Pacific Theater of Operations IV is a simulation game centering on the naval battles of World War II.
GAME FEATURES
Naval Combat in seas all over the world
Four countries participate in Pacific Theater of Operations IV - Japan, the United States of America, Britain, and Germany -- vying for naval superiority in seas all over the world. Countries on the same side (Axis or Allies) operate as an alliance, cooperating with their allies and joining to fight against the opposition.
Thrilling real-time 3-D Combat
Ships and aircraft are rendered with 3-D graphics during naval combat for thrilling battles resemble a movie. A camera function allows you to view scenes from multiple angles.
Every battle takes place in real-time. The clock is always ticking -- even when you give orders to each fleet. Take the entire battle zone into consideration, effectively judge battle conditions, and quickly issue the right orders for your situation.
Develop the best ships and aircraft
Over three hundred different ships and aircraft appear in Pacific Theater of Operations IV. In addition, you can design and build powerful ships and aircraft that were never produced in real life.
2 Game Modes
Pacific Theater of Operations IV has two modes of play: Campaign and Scenario.
GAME BASICS
50 Regions and 14 Key Bases
During the Campaign Mode, naval battles unfold across the seas of the world. The oceans are divided into 50 "Regions." Occupy regions controlled by enemy countries, and defend your own regions against enemy aggression.
There are 14 Key Bases. Each country selects one of these Key Bases as their Home Port. A country is eliminated when it loses its all Key Bases and have no Home Port.
Increase Production by controlling Regions
When you achieve control over a new region through victory in naval combat, you acquire its funds, oil, steel, and aluminum. Transport these resources to your Home Port where they can be used to fuel ships and produce new ships and aircraft. Every region you control is one step closer to victory for your country.
