Game series
There were several games in the series, including:
- Joint Forces Employment - The original game that Real War was created from. It was never released outside of the United States military. Released on May 17, 2000. The game was, apart from differences in interface and unit statistics for balancing, (For example, the MLRS units in JFE have much longer range than in Real War) virtually identical to the Real War games released for civilian market.[2][3] Both the former Cold War ideologies former nuclear armed nations, the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R., comptete for ideological political theories between capitalism and democracy vs socialism and communism turn into global domination. Both sides have multi-role bombers.
- Bombers
- Both sides have multi-role bombers,known as carpetbombers,for strategic and tactical bombing. No nukes in the payload however. The U.S. used the B-1B Lancer, or the XB-70 Valkyrie bomber. On the Soviet side they use the variable wing geometry Tupolev-160 bomber, or Myassischev-18 bomber, the last bomber and the best one that were build during the Cold War. Both could carpet up to 240 free-fall general-purpose unguided bombs at once in the payload at 40 at one time in 6 times, like the GBU-39 small diameter bomb.
- Su-24 Fencer from the Soviet Union or B-66 Destroyer or B-45 Tornado were small versions of bomber jets, assault jets, or all weather-attack jets.
