    I haven't enjoyed a naval simulator this much since "Silent Hunter II." A great title!

    I agree with Mirko T. The graphics, interface, simulation of the subs' controls and sounds are very poor. The sounds of enemy ships'; guns are like some third-rate Hong Kong gangster movie. The graphics looks like some DOS game similar to "SSN" some years back.… Expand
