About the Game
Battleship Command: Scharnhorst
Take command of a 30,000-ton Scharnhorst-class battleship in this immersive World War II naval simulation.
Explore the ship in first-person, walking its decks, bridges, and control rooms — all meticulously recreated from historical blueprints. Issue orders to your crew or take direct control of key stations, from gunnery and radar to navigation and damage control.
Hunt down merchant convoys, disrupt Allied supply lines, and clash with enemy warships across the stormy Atlantic, icy Norwegian Sea, and sunlit Mediterranean. Dynamic weather, sudden fog, and a full day–night cycle can hide you from your enemies — or conceal them from you.
Use authentic radar, rangefinders, and fire-control systems to track, target, and destroy your foes. Command an entire surface fleet of destroyers, cruisers, and battleships, coordinating maneuvers and tactics to outwit and overwhelm the enemy.
Key Features
• Authentic simulation of WWII naval gunnery and fire-control systems
• Historically accurate 3D model of the Scharnhorst-class battleship
• Expansive campaign areas covering Europe and North Africa
• Single missions and scenarios — both historical and fictional
• Quick and intuitive scenario editor
• Realistic damage and flooding modelling
• Dynamic ocean, weather, and lighting simulation
• Living world with active convoys, patrols, and merchant traffic
