    WW2 Submarine Sims

    What's the best WW 2 Submarnie sim currently advailable?
    One of my favorite games of all time is Microproses ancient 'Silent Service 2', and I'd love to play its modern equivilent.

    The best WWII sub-sim overall (IMHO) is Silent Hunter: Commander's Edition. Based in the Pacific, you play as an American sub skipper against the Japs. It has a fully dynamic campaign game that never plays the same way twice. It was made in 1996, but the graphics and gameplay are amazing. I still have this game on my harddrive. If you can find this game buy it.

    Second best is Command Aces of the Deep: A WWII sub-sim based in the Atlantic. You play as a German sub skipper against the Allies. It also has a dynamic campaign, but the graphics aren't as good as Silent Hunter. Yet, it does have great gameplay. This game is available as a FREE DOWNLOAD from the Home of the Underdogs site in the "Simulations" section. The only caveat is that the game won't work if you have a Soundblaster Sound card.

    Hope this helps

      Sub Commander is pretty good also.Not WW2 though.
      Quite a high tech game.Unless you select auto-crew you need to attend a Naval Academy before playing.Its quite realistic.I'm still in Sonar:101

      ...and it has MP.
      The only thing that matters to me in a MP game is getting a good ally.Nothing else is as important.......Xin Yu
