## What is Battle of Aircraft Carrier?

“AIRCRAFT CARRIER BATTLE 1942” is a Real-Time Simulated Strategy Game of the naval battle of aircraft carriers in the Pacific Theater of World War II between the Imperial Japanese Navy and naval and air forces from the United States.

The aircraft carrier task force was a quite new war potential. Although its offensive power was extremely high, the defensive ability was poor. 

Since no one knew how to utilize this war potential at that time, there might be 
various possibilities in the short term.

As a commander of the air craft carrier task force, make strategic decisions and lead your task force to the victory.

In this game, you will play the following important roles in the every layer.

 1) Commander of aircraft carrier task force  - Make a Decision
 2) Captain of aircraft carrier  – Maneuver your aircraft carrier 
 3) Pilot of Search Plane – Search Enemy’s aircraft task force
 4) Leader of Torpedo Attack Group  - Attack enemy aircraft by torpedoes
 5) Leader of Bomber Attack Group  - Attack enemy aircraft by dive bombs
 6) Leader of Intercept Fighter Group – Intercept enemy attack group

### 3/5 — My ships are glass

*2026-01-15, version 1.5*

It’s a good game, no doubt, but it’s so freaking annoying that enemy carriers can take a ton of hits and not sink whereas mine often times die in one hit. Like I’ll just be maneuvering to dodge a ton of torpedoes and then a single dive bomber comes down and then one shot shots me on full health.

### 1/5 — iPhone bug

*2026-01-05, version 1.5*

Why is the screen zoomed in for no reason terrible game can’t see the buttons I need

### 4/5 — Attack aircraft

*2025-10-11, version 1.5*

Can’t red button power ups, why? Fix this

### 1/5 — ？

*2025-08-09, version 1.5*

普通にバグが起きてるし部隊全機が自分が運転している機体と同じ動きをしている気がします

### 4/5 — Attack aircraft

*2024-09-15*

Can’t red button power ups, why?

### 1/5 — To zoomed in

*2024-08-16*

Loved this game until I found out it doesn’t work on the iPhone 14 as it just is all zoomed in 

Please fix

### 4/5 — Attack aircraft

*2024-04-01*

Why can’t a player use bomber and torpedo aircraft at the same time, like real life??

### 4/5 — Bro my CARRIER ARE DIE FASTER THEN GERMANY IN WW2

*2024-03-27, version 1.5*

Impossible to protect carrier unless you attack faster then they can spot you which is hard to do so make A) aiming Fighters better B) make guns more accurate C) aiming AA better D) planes attack other targets.

### 5/5 — Great game but

*2024-02-01, version 1.5*

I love this game it’s amazing but is this game still being cared about as it hasn’t had a update in 5 years and if you do read this then I have a suggestion the first one is instead of the ranger it should be the wasp as it’s more accurate, besides that is the game still being updated as it could be so much better if the ship classes all got their own models

### 1/5 — Can’t see any of the major buttons

*2023-08-30, version 1.5*

Literally won’t show any buttons that you need to use to play. Can’t report ships and can’t even find the options menu to maybe shamble that

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.5 — 2018-04-15

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

As many users mentioned, we believe that this is the most realistic real-time simulation game of the naval battle of aircraft carriers in the Pacific Theater of World War II. Based on feedbacks from user around the world, we enhanced this application as Version 1.5. Please enjoy this new version.

1. New features

(1) EASY BATTLE MODE (5 MINUTES AIRCRAFT CARRIER BATTLE)

  This is a battle mode that players can easily experience the aircraft carrier battle In this mode, 
  In the battle of two regular aircraft carriers that are the same as the battlefield of the Coral Sea, the player must sink down the enemy aircraft carrier within the limited battle time as the captain of the attacking unit arriving above the enemy fleet.
  As a leader of torpedo attack group or a leader of bomber attack group, you must destroy enemy aircraft carriers in a few minutes. 
  Since this mode is completely independent from other battle warfare modes, there is no consumption of gold, loss of ship, etc.
  Enjoy this mode as a easy battle experience.

(2) Interception by fleet escort fighter plane

  As the leader pilot of a fleet escort fighter, you can shoot down enemy attack units by manual operation. By quickly discovering enemy attack units approaching over the fleet and shooting down as many attack units as possible, it is possible to lower the risk of the fleet.

  In connection with this function, we added two items that can be earned by watching advertisement video.

   #1: Anti-aircraft radar for fleet defense: 
         You will be able to discover enemy attack unit positions early.
   #2: Unlimited machine gun bullet number of escort fighter aircraft

By effectively utilizing these functions, you can even annihilate enemy attack 
 units. Please protect your important aircraft carrier.


(3) Manual operation of the anti-aircraft machine-gun of aircraft carrier

  We have made it possible for you to manually fire shot machine-guns located in four positions;  in front of the aircraft carrier, in front of the starboard, behind the port, and behind the starboard. 
  In addition, view control from the bridge was also made possible.
  Although it is a bit difficult, it is possible to shoot down several machines. 
  Please give me the final defense of an important aircraft carrier.

2. Conclusion

  With this function enhancement, we think that the important role of each layer in the naval battle between the aircraft carrier units can be realized as real-time simulation in the application.
  Please keep trying to annihilate the aircraft carrier of enemy troops while protecting your important aircraft carriers anyhow.
