CARRIER AIR WING

''This article is about the game. For the naval unit, please see Carrier air wing.''
'''Carrier Air Wing''' ('''U.S. Navy''' in Japan) is an arcade game that was released in 1990 by Capcom. It uses the CPS-1 arcade system and is a spiritual sequel to 1989's side-scrolling shoot-em-up, U.N. Squadron. As with the original, players chose any one of three different jet fighters and battle their way through ten enemy-packed stages. Another idea carried over from U.N. Squadron is the shop, which allows players to buy weapon and shield upgrades for their jet fighter.

Plot


The 1990s was a decade of great change marked by growing friendships between old enemies and never before seen levels of co-operation between powerful nations of the world. However, in 1997, using new weapons designed in secrecy, the Middle Eastern country of Rabu threatened to destroy this fragile peace.

Aircraft



F/A-18 Hornet - The most balanced aircraft available. It can handle air-to-air and air-to-ground sorties.

F-14 Tomcat - Dedicated air-to-air fighter. Not as capable in air-to-ground combat but it is a formidable fighter.

A-6 Intruder - Principle ground attack aircraft. It is not well suited for air-to-air.
