It is difficult at first but once you get the hang of it you can't get enough.

I had high expectations when I first got this game and they were all met or exceded. The variety of submarines will not let even the biggest WW2 sub fan down. It has all the classics like Gato and Gar but also includes Porpose and Salmon classes. I don't realy have the patience for a mission so I start a campaign (which can take weeks) and insted of doing the assigned mission I run around Pearl Harbor distroying battleships and aircraft carriers. Trust me it is a lot quicker than a "quick mission" and your ships won't fire at you so you can blow them up without getting a scratch.
The graphics are so good I didn't believe it at first. The damage mideling is so good that when the side of the sub is bluwn off you can see the compartment inside! The game allows you to man each station on the sub from sonar to the conning tower to to torpedo control. At port on a campaign you can even outfit your sub the way you want it. ( I outfitted it with the biggest deck gun avaiable in addition to torpedoes.) You can even assign your crew to different stations and awrd them promotions. Note: I don't think you can make a member of your crew captain and just sit back while the ships go down. All in all it is a great game for the aspiring sub captain
