Rising Squall is a campaign driven by an intricate storyline and intense conflict. While striving for a smooth learning curve for beginners, with missions that progressively become more difficult, the campaign pays heavy attention to the gameplay atmosphere and experience, with professional voice-actors and background music respectively, complementing them.
The story takes place in N.E 053 in the INVERTED world. The discovery of Chunium-500 seemed to be a solution to the energy crisis. However, it has also become an uncertainty that once again has intensified the competition between nations.
The DCS: Persian Gulf Map for DCS World focuses on the Strait of Hormuz, the strategic choke point between the oil-rich Persian Gulf and the rest of the world. Flanked by Iran to the north and western-supported UAE and Oman to the south, this region has been one of the world’s most dangerous flash points for decades. In 1988, it was the location of Operation Praying Mantis, in which U.S. forces sank or damaged several Iranian naval vessels, and destroyed two armed Iranian oil platforms.
Featuring southern Iran including the major naval port of Bandar Abbas, the map also includes Qeshm Island, northern Oman and large stretches of heavily-contested sea that are well-suited for combat aircraft carrier operations. Covering 77,220 square miles, the map is roughly the size of Nebraska - or slightly under a third the size of Texas. From land bases in Iran, the UAE and Oman or from the deck of an aircraft carrier, the DCS: Persian Gulf Map offers a wide range of realistic and thrilling combat missions in which to prove your mettle.
Orbx proudly presents the DCS: Kola map, which covers northern Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the Russian Murmansk Oblast and parts of the Karelia region. The map also includes large areas of the Barents Sea and Norwegian Sea to the north and west, ideal for aircraft carrier operations. The Orbx DCS: Kola map is represented in its current-day state, with some allowance for late-Cold War military features and functionality.
The Kola map spans about 1,400 km east-west by 1,000 km north-south, with more than 575,000 sq km of land and a total coverage area of ~1,350,000 sq km. Its southern boundary roughly aligns with 65 degrees latitude, meaning most of the map area falls within the Arctic Circle. The Kola map covers various natural landscapes, from the dramatic fjords and island chains to vast forested areas with myriad lakes and wetlands, to rugged mountains, to the Arctic tundra. Cities, towns, mines, ports, and infrastructure corridors, all have unique characteristics determined by their location and cultural association.
