The soundtrack to Victory at Sea would seem like another good choice.

Any other recommendations?

Additionally, the menu theme from Jane's F/A-18 from back in the day is pretty good background music.

Generally, I've always got something playing in the background when doing some action or working in the editor. I love listening to soundtracks of movies and games I loved back in the days and still do so today. Kind of depends in which year and part of the world the scenario is set. Maybe some of these might be to fast-paced for others but again, depends what is actually happening ingame.

Here are some randomly picked examples. You should also check out the whole soundtrack of every single one of them:

The Hunt for Red October - Red Alert (You should go and listen the whole soundtrack!)

Grand Theft Auto V - Flying Theme (Infinite loop in Red Flag 2017)

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 - Main Theme

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqLArgCbh70 (Full spectrum fleet ops!)

Among others I like the soundtracks of ARMA II, ARMA III (seriously awesome!), World In Conflict (mentioned by ThunderCBR), Battlefield 2: Operation Peacekeeper, Battlefield 2: Project Reality, Battlefield 3, Battlefield 4, Rainbow Six Vegas (1), Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction, Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, Crimson Tide, Das Boot, Captain Phillips, and many more...

Hope you enjoy them as I do!

Supreme

The Planets, Op. 32, is a seven-movement orchestral suite by the English composer Gustav Holst, written between 1914 and 1916. Each movement of the suite is named after a planet of the Solar System and its corresponding astrological character as defined by Holst.

Adagio for Strings is a work by Samuel Barber, arguably his best known, arranged for string orchestra from the second movement of his String Quartet, Op. 11. Also in a corral version is very powerful…

I also like Hitoshi Sakimoto's compositions here, almost 5 hours of music while playing CMANO: http://youtu.be/Tgd9ajyAiIs

Unless you live in southern California you need to stream these stations but trust me these are the best public music stations in America.

There are long periods where you need to wait for something to happen or things are ticking along at a fairly slow pace. Mainly I seem to be listening to a lot of zombie fiction, Military SF - Honorverse, Ark Royal etc, urban fantasy like the Harry Dresden Novels or Monster Hunter International or detective thrillers. Oddly, I can't listen to non-fiction and play Command, but fiction is fine.
