High-explosive rounds, flak, and flares light up an area when protecting ships at night, and each destroyer has a machine gun nest. With the promise of plenty of anti-submarine fighting and strategy, the potential for a superb wargame simulation is high, but unfortunately, too many programming bugs and glitches make the game nearly unplayable.Īs a US Navy commander in WWII, you take command of up to eight units, choosing from one of 14 destroyers equipped with a pair of five-inch guns, though a few have three or four used for ship-to-ship and ship-to-air combat. Destroyer Command, subtitled WWII Naval Combat Simulator, puts you in control of destroyer escorts that protect larger naval ships not only from submarines but other ships and aircraft.
