But though those are the basics, there are a number of complex systems you'll have to learn to manage in order to make this all happen. When you spot an enemy, you'll have to determine the best way to engage them and the best way to escape if you're detected. First, you'll need to set a course, running fast along the surface at night and creeping below the waterline during the day when spotters are more likely to see you. You can opt to begin in 1939 when the U-boats first began to attack Allied shipping or start later in 1943 once the tide of war had turned against the submariners.Īs the commander of the submarine, you'll be responsible for a variety of tasks. You play as the commander of one of these U-boats in careers that span the whole length of submarine warfare. Though submarines have fought in numerous theaters in numerous wars, the German Wolfpack's operations in the Atlantic represented here is the most classic image of submarine warfare.ĭeveloped by Ubisoft Romania, Silent Hunter III wonderfully simulates these battles for control of the Atlantic. In a way, sub sims play like Hitman you just never want to go toe-to-toe with your enemies. After finding and following their prey, the U-boat crew has to fire off their torpedoes and then sneak away before the target's escorts can counterattack. Silently stalking a merchant ship, the U-boat crew has to be smart, patient and exacting. The new game Silent Hunter III recreates that world in as exciting and exacting a way as any submarine sim before it.
But that doesn't mean that the life of the submariner doesn't make for a thrilling simulation. With all due respect for the deprivation and danger inherent in being a ball turret gunner or an OSS agent, the life of the submariner wasn't likely to inspire envy.
If you had to order all the possible assignments during World War 2 according to comfort and survivability, submariners would be right at the bottom of the list.
