The game is set in 1939 of an alternate universe, and thus combines technology of this period in the real world with a variety of futuristic lasers and weapons, without the "World War II-only" mode of the first game. However, the first playthrough is generally consistent with the historical World War II, while subsequent playthroughs feature more lasers and high-tech weapons, as well as a slightly extended ending.

|Description=When using hardware mode, various effects are visible through terrain, ships and other obstructions. These include:
|Description=Occasionally during gameplay 3D objects will appear to double causing the objects to become very fuzzy and blurry. This will happen randomly off and on.
:*Distance fog (appears as a purple band along the horizon)
|Workaround=Use Hardware Hacks/Fixes and set Skip Draw to 1,1
:*Bullet tracers, rocket/missile smoke and most energy weapon trails
*'''Comments:''' This seems to occur regardless of being rendered via software or hardware methods.
:*Explosions and fires
:*Flares
:Some animated models such as lighthouses and various shipyard props are also affected.
|Workaround=Use software mode.
