A new genre to me, but I'm intrigued. It seems very thorough - though a few omissions are apparent- the most serious in my view is the lack of oceanic currents. It should be impossible to sail submerged out of Gibralta against the in-flowing current. The other issue that I miss is navigation, the navigator should only make accurate fixes of position when surfaced. The sub-merged map position should be prone to innaccuracy, especially when the sky is cloudy for days on end. Nevermind- whining about a game doesn't help, it's got enough virtues to be quite intriguing.

The whole naval culture thing is a world in itself, the terminology has pervaded the English language.

Just released patch 1.4b; 1.3 was a bit of an erronious release, it helped a few things, but the Sonarman stopped working properly. Now it's ok, torp notification is welcome too. I look forward to Milchcows & wolfpacks. There are still some bugs ( infact- some were removed in v1.3 but are back now). Choosing "surface cruise mode" causes the program to crash to desktop, and reloading saved games can leave the crew on watch - while underwater !
