Synopsis

Carrier Aces is a third-person flight simulator set during World War II. The game is also entirely split-screen, with a second player or the computer opponent taking control on the second half of the screen. Players control a plane pilot from the United States or the Japanese Empire. Based aboard an aircraft carrier, the player can engage in the following missions: 1-on-1 dogfights, strafing enemy ships, dive-bombing enemy ships, torpedo runs on enemy ships, and carrier landings. All missions are made up of these elements, but campaign missions also offer the ability to decide which aircraft to bring into combat, each with their own stats, and track progress on an area map. When two forces clash on this map, players can choose which aircraft to bring into battle and it will end in a 1v1 battle with the enemy. In dogfights, both players control a plane while during naval battles, one player controls a plane and the other will control the ship's turret gun. Aircraft controls include the ability to bank left and right, climb, dive, increase speed, decrease speed, fire cannons, drop bombs/torpedoes (if applicable), and perform a 180 degree loop. Turret controls are more limited, only allowing the player to aim left and right, fire the gun, and zoom.
