Just wondering if anyone else is playing this submarine simulation game.

I've not played any previous iterations of a submarine game to compare it against, so I can't say if it is better or worse than anything that has gone before.

I understand that it is fairly new so I don't think it is completely bug free, but I haven't found any yet that actually break the game. There are quite a few videos on Youtube already for anyone who wants to get a peek of what the gameplay is like before committing themselves to making a purchase.

In truth the missions you get, either singly or whilst playing through a campaign, are a bit samey but there is something about it that keeps drawing me back.

So far I have only played the 1984 campaign, so can't comment on the 1968 campaign option, but with less capable subs to choose from armed with less sophisticated weapons, I can only imagine that it is more challenging.

It seems there is a growing modding community as well, though I have only downloaded the Russian mod, which allows you to play all of the Russian submarines in the game, as well as adding a further handful of single missions to play through.

I'm not sure whether the developers intend to include a multiplayer option at some point in the future, but if they do, that would add a whole extra dimension.

The 1968 Mk37 is guided, but it's slow and I've seen a few being outrun by both subs and surface ships which is really frustrating.
