Most you will know film Das Boot. You will know atmosphere film, scare and claustrophobic environment, and chance are as though did you like it.

It's play Das Boot, and first thing I saythat the you isn't - expect reproduction film. Although some of the mission carry some resemblance to film, they are not identical. I'm noticed little environment known from film. On top it, that is malingerer: sometimes much activities need to be executed to could fill up your mission successfully.

Did you captain German near - choker during WW2. There be wrapped up mission accessible, and it's up to you finish is, possession your ship and crew safe at making so. You will face fighter raids, depth charge and fire ordnance so you have you got your work cut out.

There are two modes games: Baltic training and mission. Baltic training can be seen how mode arcade of sorts, in which the you target single aspect games and implore get how tall score as possible. Mission are actual heat price thing. Unfortunately there be but five of them, but every offers distinct call appeal for, from relatively simple crossing narrows Gibraltaru (which can be seen how introductory mission) to North Atlantic watch in which the you uses all your skills to find, identify azničit friend fleet.

Before picking your mission you will be able set difficulty, pick type submarine below your order (every have another combination greatest velocity and weapon adjunct to) and set historical accuracy. This last option includes setting achievement torpedo, on ship corrections and torpedo adjunct to. Cleavage these election allow you change difficulty mission, as well as tactics you will have to use.

After withdrawal your mission and read debate you find myself in command centre submarine. It be of consequence room how much information desk underlie from here (such as ammunition share and depth), and function as diving and prosecution scope are also made available from those rooms. There are next rooms: machine - room, room torpedo and radio - room. In machine - room you make sure things like firing and air, in rooms torpedo you can strain torpedo lading in some from four fatheads and in radio - room you get and inform.

There are also another arms accessible: weapon deck and flak ordnance. You can start torpedo while using scope or opera - glass. Diverse opinions are afloat look, look underwater and conned. Conned is bridge you will use at navigation while emersed. Afloat and views underwater are important to navigate mine field and escape deep mine gratuity.

Last feature, map, be too important. Upon this map you may see all participation in small flat about your boats, set waypoint and compress time.

There are a lot of news to sent and many of whom demand further information to be sent to later. I'm not sure whether all of these news in reality be of service purpose. You can only saythat the did you sink down enemy transporter and you always get same reply to, whether it's true or no. At send a message you'll have make up one's mind where to send it and keep in mind to coded it. You can also receive message. All of these news will coded, and if it is to tap the message you will have to decipher it themselves. In case friendly news ones from standard code will compress (triton, Diannu or riddle).

Operating controls are pretty simple. You use mouse to tampered buttons. Z conned or command centre you you can sink or emerge by using up and down arrows. In the above and views underwater as well as on conned generally you'll have full control of by boat. You will use key to sink down, slope up and drive. Plus and negative keys regulate the speed. While using opera - glass or scope you can print space to triggered torpedo. If did you manning one from arms space will burn out. That is all much straight forward.

In the end I thinkthat the this play be good enough. Play is merry making and immersive. Operating controls be easy to manage. There are a few negative points to play also, such as poverty of mission. There is also publication realism - you cut dead full wing fighters take off from enemy destroyer every day. Below bigots who love realism and wanted things to observe the time would may be recommended to avoid it play, but all others who this way genre drawing I'd advise you give those play examination.

I'm emptied high evaluation worksheet for your convenience. I advise st. tothat the you create new when you first start this play.This may be made be enough click on war diary in main menu, and withdrawal ' create it ' in error message that follows.

I'm tried it in Windows XP namely worked totally, but without any sound. In DOSBOX it dealt much funny and colours are blended, but sound be present, while VDMSOUND gives sound and orderly graphic art.
