How it feels

A methodical and historically grounded submarine simulation with a classic feel and an emphasis on realistic naval combat.

What players say

Players praise the realistic World War II submarine simulation and tactical depth, but opinions split on whether the 1990 original holds up. Some find the keyboard controls frustrating and the game runs poorly on modern systems. A persistent annoyance is that reloading a saved game forces you to watch all news updates from Pearl Harbor onward.
