Dear Players,

The Carrier Fleet Major Update is out now!

Get ready for multiple carriers per team, HOTAS controller support, air support cannons, and more!

Allied Carriers

This new update introduces multiple carriers per human team! Coordinate your carriers, and get ready for some really big PvP battles.



HOTAS Support

We have reworked controller support, so now you have new controller binding options as well as absolute-mode for throttle inputs! This means you can set up your HOTAS controller to pilot your vehicles.

Air Support

We have added a new turret, specifically for aircraft! This turret is a gimballed cannon (for use on the gimbal camera slot), allowing you to fire rounds from above. This means you can set your helicopters up as gunships, or even use gimbal control on your fixed wing aircraft!



There are also several fixes and improvements. See the change notes below for full details!

Thanks for all the players who have shared their thoughts and ideas to make this update possible.

Much love
The Carrier Command Developers

Dear Players,

Major Update 5 will be released on 17th March 2023 at 5pm UTC!

We are calling this major update the "Carrier Fleet Update" (multiple player controlled carriers per team!) but there is actually much more, actually several new big features! Please read more below...



Allied Carriers

Multiplayer games will support multiple carriers per team, allowing players to cooperate and coordinate between crews, and teams can have many times more fire power. Team communication is greatly improved with the new text chat option, including team and global channels.



HOTAS Support

We have made some big improvements to our controller support and bindings, and added support for HOTAS controllers. This is something that players have been asking about for a long time, and provides some very immersive piloting simulation gameplay!



Gimballed Air Support Cannon

We are adding a new cannon for aircraft... mounted on a gimbal! You can now provide rounds from the air from winged and rotor aircraft, in a similar way to the cannon on a real world helicopter gunship such as the Apache or Hind. Again, this has been a very popular player request and we are really excited to add it.



Gameplay Improvements

We are also implementing several other smaller player requested changes such as air-boss controls to hold take offs (to assist take offs during heavy waves), changes to torpedo behaviour, etc.

This major update will be launching on Friday 17th March so please do join us for the launch then!

We also have minor updates including fixes and improvements in the works and due for release soon.

Much love
