Command: Modern Air / Naval Operations is the gold standard for simulators of the genre. Since purchasing it in 2013 I've sunk more hours then I would like to think about into browsing the vast database, creating scenarios from the ground up, and playing the dozens and dozens of scenarios available from the community. The best place to start is the database. You can spend hours browsing through the various weapons, ships, aircraft, and facilities used by almost every nation in the world. For an enhanced experience you can download an image pack from the forums or you can add your own image (or images). Everything from the Iconic Nimitz Class to the humble fishing trawler are covered in great detail. There are two 'play' modes in Command. The normal play mode is used for playing through completed scenarios. The game really shines in the editor mode though. You can zoom into any spot on the globe and start placing units, giving AI unit orders, and play out any scenario of your choice from Coast Guard patrol missions to global nuclear war. As the player you have unlimited options at your disposal. The learning curve for this game can be daunting at first. However it's actually much quicker to master then some reviews have said. You pick it up quickly and ca do it as you play. If you have any questions there are a variety of resources that can help you out. The forums are always a good place to start. What really pushes this sim into the 10/10 territory are the updates and the fantastic community. Command at release was a better game than any others on the market, Command at its current version at the time of this review (1.07) will rule this genre for years to come. The updates will keep coming as well. The sim improves daily. Like any game, there will be bugs. You can measure the game on the bugs or the developers response and handling of those bugs. Command does this better then any other game I've played, ever. Bugs are addressed quickly by the team leading to a great community experience. If you're on the fence about this sim, do yourself a favor and buy it. You will wonder how you ever manged without it.
