Coral Sea is a map in Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 1943. The map is mostly focused on dogfighting, although there is an atoll on which there are a few of the defense guns and flak guns, as well as some houses for cover. Both teams start with an unmovable Carrier and two plane spawn points where infinite planes spawn. There are no flags to capture, because the main objective is to take down the enemy's carrier, or, in Battlefield 1943, keep the enemy from gaining control of the middle of the map by having the majority of the fighters be of your team.

The map returns in Battlefield 1943 in the brand new Air Superiority mode. In this version the islands are taller and in the out of bounds zone. There are several buildings on the islands, and natural bridges which the player may fly under are scattered around the map. The spawn points are four static carriers, two on each side which spawn infinite fighter planes. Each carrier also has access to two 40mm Bofors Anti-Air Guns at the back.
