What players say
I've been playing this game for years. one of the best submarine games ever and I should know. SS-310 was my boat back in the day.
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
love playing sub games. i amable to modify the game. like having 4-5 Yamamato battleships to attack instead of only one.
The Medals are completely wrong. They are not even real American medals. Example, a successful patrol was rewarded with a purple wounded in action medal that almost looks like the Purple Heart Medal, but no one was wounded during the patrol. Silent Hunter 3 uses real German medals from WW2, but not this game, also no way to promote any of the crew. I have tried, and erased, then downloaded this game multiple times...
