Can I Run Combat Air Patrol 2?
Sim155 Limited released Combat Air Patrol 2 in 2016. It is an action adventure game, published by MicroProse Software. The game supports a single player campaign. Only some of the game is mapped to a controller. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. It carries 352 Steam reviews, a small sample, so first hand performance reports are thin. At more than a decade old it predates every current graphics architecture, which helps compatibility and limits how well it exploits a modern card.

Why Combat Air Patrol 2 is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Combat Air Patrol 2. Nvidia GTX970/AMD Radeon R9 280 scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Combat Air Patrol 2 within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. The install is small at roughly 5 GB. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Combat Air Patrol 2 at the floor and Combat Air Patrol 2 at the recommended tier are not the same experience. System memory expectations are modest at 4 GB. Combat Air Patrol 2 needs 64 bit Windows.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Combat Air Patrol 2?
Combat Air Patrol 2 is light on hardware. Its minimum, Nvidia GTX750/AMD R7 250/AMD A10 APU, 2 GB RAM, about 5 GB free, sits below what an entry-level PC ships with today, so nearly any modern machine, and many older ones, will run it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 3.15x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 1.77x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.79x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
