Deck Boss

You are the deck boss. Jets and helicopters come back low on fuel, orders keep coming in, and every square metre of the flight deck counts.

The USS Nimitz flight deck: the angled landing area, catapults, jets on deck and two aircraft in the holding stack

// what you do

Land, tow, arm, launch

Clear the landing area before the next jet catches the wire, and get every aircraft where the next order needs it.

Land before the fuel runs out

Aircraft circle in the holding stack and burn fuel. Clear them to land one by one, and keep the landing area clear.

Tow on fixed routes

Tractors tow on fixed routes and wait when something is in the way. When two meet nose to nose, you decide which one turns back.

Refuel, arm, load troops

Send each aircraft to the right spot for fuel, weapons or troops before its order comes due.

Launch on time

Catapults, ski-jump positions and helicopter pads: a ready aircraft launches when an order needs it.

Run the hangar deck

Send damaged aircraft down for repair in the maintenance bays; there is a lift under every elevator.

Handle emergencies

Fires on deck, MAYDAY calls, bolters, hard landings, arresting gear failures. Switch them off in Settings to practise.

// the ships
