Leading Aerospace Company Boeing To Use Air Assault Task Force!
Realistic Real Time Strategy Game To Power Next-Gen AAR Software!
Boeing, the largest manufacturer of commercial and military aircraft in the
world, has commissioned noted modern warfare specialist ProSIM Company to create
a custom version of their latest title, Air Assault Task Force. The Boeing
specific Air Assault Task Force edition will be used as a hyper-realistic ground
combat simulator in conjunction with a intelligent tutor/after action review
agent application that Boeing is developing.
The final product will "watch" a player as he games, providing
recommendations as the scenario is being played based on a knowledge base of
tactical analysis tools. At the completion of the scenario the application will
then provide extended feedback and suggestions for how the player’s performance
can be improved.
Pat Proctor, President of ProSIM Company said, "We have always felt that
computer wargames are the future of training and planning tools for military
applications. We are delighted to see the defense industry taking an interest in
commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software for these applications. We look forward
to working with Boeing to raise the bar in the field of computer-aided learning
and analysis systems. And we are honored to be helping to provide better tools
to America’s warfighters."
While Boeing’s custom version of Air Assault Task Force is being developed
the base commercial version is available right now for Windows through publisher
Shrapnel Games. For anyone wanting to experience a truly realistic simulation of
modern combat this is the game to get!
Air Assault Task Force lets gamers take command of airmobile forces,
showcasing the pivotal air assault battles of the past forty years in Vietnam,
Somalia, and Afghanistan.
Additionally, a mini-campaign set at Fort Polk’s JRTC will help virtual
commanders fine tune their skills and a full featured scenario editor allows
players to continue the fight well after the last campaign ends.
Played in command (real) time, gamers will discover that real time does not
always have to equate to dexterity driven clickfests. Terrain is based on real
world digital maps down to a few meters, allowing intelligent battlefield
tactics to be used and making possible such things as true hull down
positioning. Combat is just as detailed as the terrain, taking into account
individual weapon destruction, radar modes, munitions effects, and much more
thanks to a massively detailed weapon platform database.
All the combat modeling in the world doesn’t help if you don’t have a decent
foe though, and Air Assault Task Force’s AI delivers the fight quite well. Using
decision point tactics the AI will brutally challenge the player. Friendlies
likewise take advantage of the superb artificial intelligence, allowing players
to actually command a military force instead of babysitting. Air Assault Task
Force is also perfect for multiplayer, allowing gamers to challenge each other
in a variety of ways including online.

why Larry Levandowski of Armchair General feels that "Air Assault [Task Force]
is a great way for players to experience some of the danger and challenges of
conducting an air assault without actually participating in the real thing."
