Customer Reviews

Cream at the top of a great sim series5 I came across the German U-Boat version, and enjoyed it very much. That game had a steeper learning curve than this one. The series allows you to set the realism/difficulty level that you are most comfortable with. This game ranges from full manual torpedo attacks to "point & shoot" from the periscope. I have had a lot of fun with this and highly recomend it. Even though I don't have a top of the line PC, the graphics and gameplay flowed smoothly. The best submarine simulation game.4 This is by far the best submarine simulation game available right now. It caters to both hardcore armchair submarine commanders and casual gamers who are attracted to the genre after watching Run Silent, Run Deep by offering a wide range of realistic settings. After trying the highest level of realism, I quickly admit that I fall into the latter category and revert back to the default level, which is a lot less tedious and more fun. The sizable hardcore fan community does have a positive impact on my experience, specifically, the availability of mods. Like most niche games, this title is bug ridden and poorly supported. The mods help alleviate some of the frustration. After some experimentation, I settle for the Trigger Maru Overhauled super-mod. It is frequently updated and relatively well maintained. The looks and feels in the game improve greatly as a result. I run the program on Vista x64. It still hangs the entire system on rare occasions, but I have been able to complete quite a few patrols with frequent saves. I am no teenager with twitchy trigger fingers, and this game requires just the kind of deep strategic and tactic thinking that I enjoy. The graphics are beautiful, contributing to an immersive experience that deserves recommendation. Great game, lots of different action sequencies5 This game has really great realistic graphics, and the action is intense, especially in the American campaign. The German patrols are also realistic in the amount of travel time in game. I recommend this to anyone interested in WWII Naval action games, this has it all; surface ships, aircraft and submarines.
