Game looks to launch during the Fall.

Ubisoft, today announced that its new flight combat title, Pacific Fighters, will launch this fall.

Backed by the Oleg Maddox team, Pacific Fighters allows players to
participate in the Pacific air war on either the side of the conflict, including U.S., Japan, Great Britain, or Australia. There are more than 40 flyable aircraft, including the F6F Hellcat, Japanese Zero, and the UK's Supermarine Seafire. In addition, for the first time in the 1C: Maddox game series, players will have the option to take-off and land on aircraft carriers during combat.

Players may choose from a variety of bombing missions, including torpedo attacks, dive bombing, and high altitude bombing. Targets include amphibious landing craft, realistic coastal fortifications, and a wide selection of ground vehicles, each built to an even higher level of detail than in the previous 1C:Maddox Games flight sims.

Players will be able to target enemy ships, vehicles, airfields and aircrafton one of the 16 new maps, including Guadalcanal, Pearl Harbor and Singapore. The online multiplayer options allow players to engage in livebattles ranging in style from free-for-all dogfights to cooperative campaigns.
