Once you get over the learning curve and you've gotten into the meat of the game, it's phenomenal. The settings allow you to be either a total novice and push a button to fire a torpedo, or to be an absolute wartime Chad and triangulate trajectories, ship speed, earth curvature, and weather conditions to find a successful shot (not to mention placement on the ship you're trying to sink, which is essential - hitting a Destroyer in the magazine can be the difference between life, or being dragged down to Davy Jones locker with your Uboat and crew after being depthcharged into oblivion). You can down everything from freighters and tankers, to little fast-attack boats, to gigantic, massive battleships and huge carriers. The game has a cohesive storyline that follows the events of WWII. I'm not sure how it ends yet as I'm enjoying my time earning medals (I'm like maybe 80 tons away from the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oakleaves, Swords, and Diamonds as of this posting - yep, I've got the itchy throat, I need me them medals - got my Knight's Cross after I sneaked into Scalpa Flow and blew up the HMS Royal Oak at anchor, lost with all hands). Can't recommend the game enough. If you like wartime games, playing as WWII-era Deutschland (with phenomenal German voice overs) and simulators, either easy or extremely difficult ones, you can't go wrong, folks.

I lost navigation and maps, then I hit english beach at night without map, then I followed unknown boat just to discover it was another ally submarine. Didnt sink any ships and went home. 10/10 experience

This is some serious next level strategy, easy to play (kind of) difficult to master...but when you start getting good what a dopamine rush it is when you sink that first destroyer. good stuff

The ocean is huge and probably quite like a U-boot it means "hours" of boredom/frustration at not being able to intercept a ship/convoy and them suddenly action stations! I like this game. A bit of a learning curve compared to say CoD but really satisfying when it comes together. Listening for the noises from ships screws, trying to plot an intercept, sorting out a firing solution.
