Official description

A.D.S. recalls the main naval engagements of World War II during which the DESTROYERS of the Royal Navy played a major part. The missions you will have to carry out will take place:
1 - In the Mediterranean, from the allied base at Malta located in a zone occupied by the opposing forces.
2 - In the English Channel, from the allied bases: you must evacuate allied forces gathered in Dunkirk.
3 - In the North Sea, your mission is to sink the non-alliedvessels which are hiding in the NORWEGIAN FJORDS.

Sole master on board, you will have to manoeuvre to perfection to avoid sinking. Every fire and piloting post of a DESTROYER is reproduced in A.D.S. so it is up to you to make the best use of them when the situation calls for it.

To fight the opposition, you can chose between 18 available missions already set with each time a precise target or with a DELTA mission: in which you are the one to chose your target in an environment and date which differs each time. The Admiralty and Admiral Walkirie are always on your side to report any ships spotted by the R.A.F.

You have the possibility to alter the intensity of realism given by the simulation, so that younger players may also enjoy A.D.S. We advise other players not to change the parameters so they can experience the true sensations of the simulation.
