Hey Folks its been a while! Task Force Admiral is a WW2 Tactical Strategy Game taking place during the first year of the Pacific war. It's focus is on the Carrier engagements that took place throughout that year but with some surface combat thrown in for good measure. ~~~WISHLIST THE GAME ON STEAM: store.steampowered.com/app/1281220/Task_Force_Admiral__Vol1_American_Carrier_Battles/ I have been granted early access by the developers to show off some of their handiwork and MAN is it impressive! This video is being done off the cuff so you'll have to forgive the rustic feel of the footage but I think it speaks for itself. Discuss it with me on my discord: discord.gg/krmNfDBUR3h
The AI in this game is phenomenal, there is definitely a real focus on playability without micromanagement, it would be impossible to get all ships to evade torpedo attacks manually for example. I think players will also be able to program their own patrols that then become automated, you can tell the game is intended to be played and enjoyed, rather than micromanaged and stressful.
Iirc, this game has been in development since 2019 or something. And theres only a few people working on it. Still much like other indy games, this is very interesting.
@@lonemarkkingoftypos3722 the game is published by mircopros which is a well known company in the strategy genre, i highly doubt this game will lose support for a while
I have never seen an RTS with aircombat that looked this natural and fluid....holy crap it even made the textbook mistake during the engagement against the formation...what kind of eldrich craft is this props to the devs for sure.
6:50 the U.S. is actually testing a weapon called "quicksink" which is essentially a GBU-31 JDAM with terminal IR/laser guidance where it aims to hit next to the ship to cause more damage through the huge pressure wave from the explosion rwther then with a direct hit
Sooo looking forward to this one, im patient i am really really patient especially for a game of this calibre and i just noticed vol 1 oh wow that means there will be more, oh boy calm im calm, no i cant hide it i am so excited for this i loved great naval battles way back in 1995 and the art in the manual and ingame was terrific i remember thinking i wish the game was like the art and now its here nearly 30 years later i will most certainly pick this one up thanks many miles away for the preview.
Looking more forward to Guadalcanal than this honestly. I played Task Force 1942 to death back in the day and I am absolutely stoked! FINALLY a game with World of Warships graphics but with realistic physics and damage modeling. SO HAPPY!!!!
The rarest of uploads 👀 So anyways I was diving on this yankee carrier group right, and I spotted this really thick one with just the most impressive deck. And I mean a really huge, shiny, hard deck. So I start going for her, cuz you know I can't wait to give her the old "Long Lance" if you know what I mean, and she just starts SWERWING left and right. What a tease. So yeah turns out I had a weak pull-up game, and that's how I ended up at the bottom of the ocean.
The demo is showing the battle of the Santa Cruz islands, in which the Japanese sank the USS Hornet and damaged the USS Enterprise while the United States damaged two Japanese Carriers Shokaku and Zuiho (not shown in-game)
The battle takes place in that area but is not a reenactment of that battle, i forgot to mention it here but the battle plays out differently every time the scenario is played.

Hope your doing well miles

Hopefully this gets more development than war on the sea and not be abandoned after a year
Yeah War on the Sea is almost entirely floated by its mod community but even then its rough...
Iirc, this game has been in development since 2019 or something. And theres only a few people working on it. Still much like other indy games, this is very interesting.
Everything I've seen from the devs says that it wont be, so hopefully that is the case
@@lonemarkkingoftypos3722 the game is published by mircopros which is a well known company in the strategy genre, i highly doubt this game will lose support for a while
the fact that aircraft have realistic flight models and react logically given the scenario alone has me sold
Nice to see a video of yours again!
This has been on my wishlist. I love how it looks. It reminds me of Battlestations Pacific.
Hopefully surpasses it!
this^ having a modern battlestation game is what ive been waiting for, cant wait
@@MilesStratton From everything I’ve seen in the video, it seems it will!
@laggindragon7166 You mean modern as in higher level of depth, graphics, and gameplay but not era right? Keeping it in WW2 is key.
@@greggblack8205 yes altho I wouldnt mind seeing a mod made that did just that
I would watch a series of battle simulations just for fun. Flak looks beatyfull
I'm absolutely hyped for this game. War on the Sea was such a disappointment.
Awesome coverage miles, As usual!
Looks Great! I'm ready for Task Force Admiral to contribute to my game backlog
‘Game backlog’ is real! 😂
TFA is shaping up nicely, can't wait to see just how much detail and micro the game will eventually have.
Cheers

Apparently all the planes have flight simulator flight models and the AI is programmed to make mistakes from time to time
He's alive!

Looks amazing and truly a good representation of what ww2 combat looks like.
Agreed, flak clouds looks straight from documentaries.
Excellent preview Miles. Agree the game looks very realistic, and just might be the quintessential naval warfare game.
Let's fucking go new Miles vid!
There is even ship voice acting! In recent videos we have seen the PA system on ships calling out air attacks
This game looks so BEAUTIFUL and so realistic !
Ayyyy your alive!!!
Back by unpopular demand, me 😅
This dude kinda based.
cheers for showing us around, I'll definitely be picking up a copy

Awesome. I can't wait to play this gem of a game.

2:03 World of Warships has many faults but the graphics isn't one of them.
9:34 Sending only 2 fighters, to fend off that many planes, was quite optimistic.
I need a flight sim like this exact same thing but with VR I wanna live this sh**
Wicked!
This looks awesome! Hope the dev have a plan to add fps/tps control... The game reminds me of battlestation Pacific!
Devs have no intention of adding that sort of control. This is much more of an RTS than a FPS.
@@MilesStratton Aww still gonna buy it 😜

CEASE
@@MilesStratton NEGATIVE
shut up mike🤣@@MikeGoesBoom
Same
There a hole in your left wing
I aint forget about CMPE
Its comin
Just a history note: USS Enterprise CV-6 never took a torpedo hit during the war. One of the reasons she survived and her sisters did not.
The demo is showing the battle of the Santa Cruz islands, in which the Japanese sank the USS Hornet and damaged the USS Enterprise while the United States damaged two Japanese Carriers Shokaku and Zuiho (not shown in-game)

Is this channel dead now? He hasn’t posted in over a year at this point
Wonder how you've been
i hope hes ok
Is that Game Planned to have/have maybe a MP or Coop?
Most likely just singleplayer
@@MilesStratton Allrighty :) As long if this works best for the game im Ok with it ^^
Iirc they are looking into it for volume 2 but it’s difficult to do that in a game not original meant for multiplayer
I miss your streams 😥
Time constraints unfortunately.
3:21 nice bug :-)....plane would not survive that
Why not WT mate 👀
I left WT over a year ago
This looks like a rog version of war thunder
🙀 What's with Demon Eyes on your meme ??
They're inappropriate, disturbing..
1 volume admiral carrier task battles force american
Dead channel Sigh....
WoWs has better ship graphics
I dont consider WoWs in the same category, they both involve ships from the period and thats where the similarities end.
