VR Support
Battle Fleet 2 now features full room-scale and standing VR support for the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and Windows Mixed Reality. You can play the full game in VR, including multiplayer against non-VR players. VR support is in an early stage and we will continue to improve the interactions and address any issues that come up in VR mode.
About the Game
Your mission is to select a fleet of warships, arm them by selecting their weapons, assign captains and destroy the enemy fleet. You'll have complete control of this mission, all the way down to what angle and how much power should be put into each shot. Battle Fleet 2 is at your command, Admiral!Battle Fleet 2 is the radically improved sequel to the original and has kept the “Worms” / “Scorched Earth” style angle+power mechanic, but now features full 3D modeling of terrain, ships, and ship hit locations. Hit the the engines and cripple the enemy's maneuverability, or aim for the command center and disable the ship for an entire turn. Ships are more realistic in which weapon compliments they can carry, and aiming/firing, as well as moving, is more intuitive. Battle Fleet 2 also now features Fog of War, allowing for stealth tactics and surprise attacks to be a viable strategy as well as adding the importance of using ships and aircraft for recon as well as attacks. With a full featured campaign and a variety of single play scenarios, Battle Fleet 2 will keep even the saltiest of sea-dogs satisfied.

Nice graphics, but unrealistic ships armaments unless you customize the battles - why are there not historical warships when there is plenty of available data. Mostly a game of guessing ranges without range finders. Hard to tell a ship's turning radius or expected placement after a move (inadequate distance/space markers on playing area). Really wanted s good naval simulation that did not require controlilng every aspect of a ship... this is not it. Very sad.
Easy to play and deep.
Fun game that isn't overly complicated, yet has some subtleties that makes for an interesting game.
Very enjoyable, and very simple, naval war-gaming for all ages.
Amazing game. Well-designed, very few bugs if any, and loads of fun. Easy to pause if work or RL calls.
Covering the campaigns of the Atlantic and Pacific during the Second World War, BATTLE FLEET 2 is a naval war simulator which gives us the chance to fight as the British, Germans, Japanese or Americans in either single battle or campaign mode. Obviously the latter is merely the former but on a grander scale via a map of our chosen theatre of war.
For campaigns, we create fleets at home ports with Industry Points, a valuable resource which increases each turn depending on what we control, and move these ships onto the seascapes until they encounter an enemy, when a naval clash takes place. This replaces the map with a smaller section of ocean where the fleets will attempt to destroy each other. We must then control individual ships, one by one, by giving them movement and firing orders. Battles, much like the campaign itself, are turn-based affairs.
Various ships can be built, anything from Aircraft Carriers and Submarines to Destroyers and Battleships, while Transports are required if we wish to conquer islands from opposing forces. Every type of ship only takes a single turn to complete, which seems rather unrealistic, as long as we have enough Industry Points to do so. (I remember playing the excellent EMPIRE - WARGAME OF THE CENTURY on my trusty old C64 back in the 1980's and that classic had different ships requiring various turns to create. While I would have liked BATTLE FLEET 2 to have been more like this to increase the realism and strategic thinking, on the whole it does not distract from the game too much.)
One nice feature is that we can modify our new ships with a somewhat limited arsenal. Do we swap a gun turret for another torpedo tube, for example, or instead fix on an anti-aircraft gun?
Battles can take quite some time to reach an outcome, especially when lots of vessels are present, due to having us control each ship. There is no option to toggle them to AI, perhaps with a pre-defined strategy, which would speed up the proceedings nicely. Still, any military mistakes we make are thus our own and the enemy is always quick to take advantage!
Movement is carried out simply by setting a direction and speed, then our vessel will head that way for as far as it can go. Firing is similar but slightly more complex. We set an aiming direction for our shells and then a range for them to hopefully hit a target. As a guide there is a circle radiating outwards from our ship showing maximum range and we have to estimate exactly where our shells will fall within it. For example, if our armament range is 3000 metres and an enemy is sighted within 2900 metres, we can safely assume that the range to fire at will be just within the circle. This seemed a little confusing at first but soon becomes second nature! Torpedoes are much easier as we just aim them and they run their course until either they hit a target or reach their maximum range and sink. Bear in mind, however, that various armaments have different range patterns. Hence torpedoes have a very limited bearing and often turrets at the port or bow of a ship cannot traverse to shoot in the opposite direction. This only adds to the strategic feeling of the game and often it is wise to check a firing arc before moving a vessel if we want to fire a certain armament. Some guns may fire several salvos per turn.
Aircraft Carriers have 4 air wings onboard and each turn a single wing can be given orders. These include various sorties for reconnaissance, combat or defending the mother vessel in case of enemy air attack. Once a sortie is over the surviving aircraft land on the Carrier and several turns will pass (for refuelling and rearming etc) before another mission can be selected for that particular air group.
Scattered randomly around the map are Chance Cards, which if picked up by a vessel can be used on a later turn. These have various conditions, anything from repairing ships and added reconnaissance flights to temporarily disabling enemies, so are well worth the effort to collect. Sometimes they may even help turn the tide of battle, although the enemy will also be hunting for them too!
Damage to ships may destroy vital necessities, such as engines and armaments, which will reduce the craft's abilities for the remainder of the battle. These cannot be repaired during the encounter unless, of course, we are lucky enough to find a Chance Card allowing us to do so. Once a ship loses all of its Hit Points it will sink and be removed permanently from the game.
Graphically the game is fine with a nice level of zoom. Sound effects include a theme tune while on the main screen, then a series of explosions and splashes, aircraft and engine noises while participating in battles.
There is an option to play Multiplayer battles but despite trying to do so on numerous occasions I never found an opponent so, sadly, gave this up as a lost cause. However, there is a Hot Seat mode for 2 players and this can also be used as a tool to learning the game after playing the helpful Tutorial.
BATTLE FLEET 2 comes with a fine array of options to fine tune the playing experience. There are 3 levels of difficulty, 4 languages available, 6 graphics quality and 5 interface sizes to choose from. We also have 28 locations to pick from for single battles, anything from islands like Iwo Jima and Midway to sections of the Philippines and Atlantic, so there is something to suite all strategic tastes.
Furthermore, campaigns allow us to use either historical fleets or a clean slate for us to create our own.
Players should expect to invest lots of time and effort into the game but winning both battles and campaigns is often very rewarding. Some may dislike the slow pace of the action but at least it allows for serious pondering of strategic moves at our leisure, a luxury often not granted in typical RTS games!
There are 17 Trophies to unlock, although some grind is required to do so, and despite BATTLE FLEET 2 now being somewhat elderly, in fairness the Developers do occasionally come back to it with improvements after listening to player feedback. I am delighted to see the game has not been abandoned even after all of this time. Highly recommended!
honestly this game has some major issues. playing on easy it gives you two range rings, you then have to guess the ranges to fire. AA does basically nothing so carriers are overpowered... move up a difficulty, you get a SINGLE range ring for estimating range, AA is absolutely broken (for enemy use, your carriers become useless). literally set one of my carriers to ALL 4 flight groups to defend, enemy still bombed me to death. honestly id rather have RNG aim the shots. im not putting enough hours into the game to get that good.. probably not any different than anyone else, seeing as of how less than 5% of players played long enough to sink 50 of any ship.... 26% played long enough to sink 10 enemy cruisers, that means that 26% of players played long enough to complete a single campaign (like i did) and only 5% continued to play...
Additionally, the game speed is EXTREMELY slow.. even at the max speed increase, a good battle will take upwards of half an hour, and a big battle could take an hour. just finished a fight of 15x18, and the fight took just under an hour. the enemy CONSTANTLY spam recon, which is an animation you CANNOT SKIP. so a single turn could take as long as 5 minutes, just for the enemy, not counting the time it takes you to maneuver, aim, and shoot.
First campaign on easy took me 10 hours to complete, and that was an absolute smash, i just blew through the enemy. started trying a medium difficulty mission, spent over an hour, and saw no results. managed 2 fights in that hour, and just gave up after seeing how the AA was handled (even a battleship with NO AA can shoot down your planes) and the range ring, making me have to range EVERY shot, usually missing 1-2 shots per ship, while the enemy hit at an astonishing 75%+ rate.
honestly, its a good idea, but its just a pain for any casual player to pick up and want to continue playing. maybe put in an option for RNG based shooting for casual players? its just infuriating to get a battleship, you get to shoot ONCE EVERY 2 TURNS, and i well over 50% of my shots with them at any range outside 3000.
