ADS - Advanced Destroyer Simulator - Atari ST
ADS is a naval combat simulation set in World War 2. It was the first one to use real-time filled 3D graphics. Its style and mechanics are reminiscent of Epyx's Destroyer (1986).
ADS simulates the H.M.S. Onslaught, a British destroyer of the O-class heavily armed with a sonar to detect and track submarines. In ADS, the Onslaught is not part of a flotilla.
There's no campaign, gameplay is mission-based and set in 3 scenarios (2 in the CPC version) with 5 mission each. Each scenario also offers an open Delta option where you cruise and hunt without specific objectives.
You navigate the destroyer in real-time with a first person view. ADS simulates ship combat as a close-quarter exchange of torpedoes and cannon fire. Near to enemy land bases, Air fighters can attack.
Submarines are tracked with the sonar and can only be attacked once they surface. Most missions are time critical. it may be necessary to dock in allied ports for repairs, to refuel and restock on ammunition. |
