In 1941, the War had no Winners…
"Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, members of the Senate and the House of
Representatives: yesterday, December 7th, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - the
United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air
forces of the Empire of Japan."
- Franklin Delano Roosevelt (December 8, 1941)
The story of World War II is often portrayed as the triumph of good over evil, but such
notions have little to do with the bitter reality of the battlefield. Nations fought for
diverse reasons, and although the Allies’ cause was just, that doesn’t mean their
opponents didn’t have their own fears, joys and tragedies. This game is dedicated to
the service men and women on all sides who fought bravely for their countries.

Introduction
Attack on Pearl Harbor is an accessible flight combat game set in the Pacific Theatre of
World War II, featuring the conflict’s most lethal aircraft and many historically inspired
missions. The emphasis is on intense dogfights, daring bombing and torpedo raids and
exciting aerial missions.
In the Single Player game you can play as either the United States Naval Air Force
(USAAF) or the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Force (IJNAF). Just as in a real war, you only
get one chance to get it right. If you fail a mission, the campaign will continue
regardless.
You can practice aerial combat in the Dogfight mode, or battle for control of the skies
with other people in Multiplayer, either over a local network (LAN) or the Internet.
For news, updates and information on the game’s aircraft, please visit the official

Campaign Menu
1. Main Menu
Choose from the following options in the Main Menu:
Once you’ve selected a campaign, you’ll come face to face with your side’s Council
of War. Your options here are:
Single Player: Start a Single Player game. See Section 2: Single Player.
Fly Mission: Choose from the currently available missions.
Multiplayer: Start a Multiplayer game. See Section 5: Multiplayer.
Show Medals: Look at any medals you’ve won.
Credits: See the names of the brave men and women who brought you this
game.
Back: Leave Campaign Mode; your progress is saved automatically.
Quit: This will exit the game and return you to your Windows desktop.
Choose a Mission
After selecting Fly Mission, you’ll be presented with a list of available Missions. Click on
them to see a brief overview and find out the type of mission they are e.g. Torpedo
Bombing or Bombing Run.
2. Single Player
Choose from the following options in the Single Player Menu:
New Campaign: Start a new campaign as either the USNAF or IJNAF. See
below.
Continue Campaign: Pick up where you left off in a previous campaign.
Dogfight: Pick from three different modes to practice your dogfighting skills.
Back: Return to the Main Menu.
New Campaign
Here you can choose between the US Campaign, where you’ll fight for the United
States and her Allies, or the Japanese Campaign, where you’ll side with the forces of
Imperial Japan.
Once you’ve made your selection, you’ll be asked to create a pilot profile - the side
you choose determines the default name. If you’re signing up with the United States
(USNAF), your character’s suggested name is Douglas Knox. If you decide to join the
Japanese (IJNAF), the suggested default name will be Zenji Yamada.
Pearl Harbor features four campaigns, two for each nation. When you start a new
game, you’ll have to complete the first campaign for that nation before you can
access the second one.
The current date is shown at the top of the mission selection area, so you can keep
track of where you are in the War’s timeline. Remember, even if you fail a mission, time
moves on – just like in real life!
For an overview of your past mission performances, use the calendar option at the
bottom of the Mission Screen. This allows you to view your previous missions on a monthby-month basis. Simply place the mouse cursor over a mission to view its status and
outcome.
When you’re happy with your mission choice, click Next and select which aircraft you’d
like to use. Remember that if you lose an aircraft during a mission, it’s gone for good, so
choose carefully (however, you can earn additional planes if you bring down enough
enemies). Now click on Next again to see your final briefing.
If you’re unhappy with your choice of aircraft or mission, then simply click Back and
change them. Once you’re happy with everything, click Next to start the mission.
Good luck, Pilot!
Tip
Some missions are only available at certain times during the war, so choose wisely!
Once they’re gone, you won’t find them again in the current campaign.
Continue Campaign
Select the pilot profile whose campaign you wish to continue. To delete a game, select
the profile then click on Delete at the bottom of the screen.

4. How to Play
Mission objectives can range from attacking ships with torpedo runs, to protecting
bombers from enemy fighters.
Screen Layout
Success in a mission can influence the progress of the Campaign and make new
missions available. However, even if you fail a mission, the Campaign won’t end.
Remember, you’re not the only pilot fighting on the battlefields and your fellow troops
may come through even when you don’t.
Game Over?
A Campaign will only end if:
You successfully reach the last month of the Campaign.
You have no aircraft left in your hangar.
Remember, success or failure in individual missions will never end the Campaign.

If you fly too far from the battlefield during a mission, a red arrow will appear along with
a message warning you that you’re about to withdraw from combat. The red arrow
points in the direction you should fly, in order to stay in the battle.
If your aircraft takes too much damage, it might be best to withdraw from the field. The
damaged aircraft will then be fixed, refueled and put back into your hangar, ready for
service in future missions.
Mission Results
When each mission ends, you’ll be shown your statistics, medals and any new aircraft
that you’ve been awarded. There’ll also be a stamp showing whether you’ve passed or
failed the mission.
The summary screen includes your Service Experience, which shows what your superiors
think of your achievements. It also tells you how much Service Experience you need to
reach your next promotion. When you’ve finished reviewing the summary screens, click
Next to see the mission report sent to HQ.
Tip
Promotions are directly related to your Service Experience. Completing missions,
earning ‘Kills’ and being awarded Medals, all increase your Service Experience.
Dispatches
At the end of each mission you’ll receive a copy of the report from your commanding
officer regarding the success (or failure!) of your squadron’s mission.
If you’ve earned enough Service Experience, you’ll receive a promotion. An
exceptional performance in the field will also earn you medals.
If you crashed your aircraft, the report will indicate whether or not you survived. You’ll
probably find that your pilot is a born survivor...
Finally, the report will inform you of any important events taking place in the war. This
should help you judge which mission to select for the next month.

Start by selecting the aircraft you’d like to fly, along with your preferred camouflage.
Next, choose a location and the weather conditions for the forthcoming battle. Click
Next to continue.
3D Shadows: This checkbox turns shadows on or off.
Horizon Blur (DoF): This is a depth of field effect that blurs distant objects such
as enemy aircraft, in order to provide increased visual realism.
There are two game modes to choose from: Dogfight and Team Vs. Team. You can
also decide how many players can join your game and determine its length e.g.
unlimited time or somewhere between 5 and 20 minutes.
Once you’re happy with these settings, click Create. You’ll be asked to name your
game, so other people can easily identify it. Click OK to begin hosting the game.
Window Mode: This checkbox determines whether the game runs in full
screen mode or in a window.
Controls
Sensitivity X Axis: This determines how quickly your craft turns through its X
Axis (left and right). Reduce this setting if your aircraft is swinging about too
much, or increase it if the aircraft feels too sluggish.
Join LAN Game
Joining a LAN game is very straightforward: just pick your plane and camouflage, click
Next and choose a game to connect to from the list.
Sensitivity Y Axis: As above, but for the Y-Axis (up and down).
Tip

Sensitivity for the X and Y Axes will update automatically.
When creating or connecting to an Internet multiplayer game with a firewall, you may
need to alter some settings to allow the following ports access to your PC: 10005, 45001
and 11005.
Crosshair: Toggles the aiming crosshair on (default) or off.
Invert Y Axis: This determines whether moving/pressing Up moves your
aircraft’s nose up or down.
Create an Internet Game
Creating an Internet Game is just like creating a LAN game. Choose your own plane,
camouflage, game location and weather.
On the next screen, select from the Dogfight or Team Vs. Team game modes, and
choose how many players you’ll allow in the game. Next, decide how long the game
should last and then click Create. Give your game a unique name so people can find it
easily, then sit back and wait for the action to begin.
Configure Joystick/Gamepad: This button will open a window allowing you
to configure each joystick button. Press the Save button when you’ve
finished. The Default button restores the game’s original configuration.
Sounds
Sound Effects: This checkbox turns the sound effects on or off. You can also
adjust their volume with the slider.
