Never had a Submarine sim before but I saw a TV review of it and it looks good, appears to be all 3d realtime like being able to walk around the sub, issue commands and of course sink things.

Anyone got it or tried it?

Excellent. Have you seen a demo anywhere on the internet or on a cover disc?

Got this now. Very good, just like Das Boot

I've been trying the missions, I'm currently chasing the HMS Illustruious Carrier battle group in the Atlantic, but they have a speed advantage over me

Anyone else playing this.

Currently it's 1am and I'm sitting on the bottom of Scapa Flow whilst 2 Royal Navy Destoyers are doing a surface searchlight sweep and occasional ping. They're not sure where I am or if anything is there, silent running and everything shut down. I have a target I'm going for, HMS Revenge which has moored up but I have to get past these 2 first. I may be some time, it's all a bit Das Boot at the moment. They'll give up soon and then I'll start my run

Check out the Museum to have a look at all the lovely things you can sink

I managed about 1.5 hrs most in one go, not much, but then I speed up time function a lot when moving.

Runs fine on mine - 2ghz CPU. 1GB RAM, 256mb GfX card.
