tried it.. found it way to complex for my liking.. it's not just "point and shoot".

It's a WW2 Submarine Simulator that's why it is so complicated

It's not so bad but It's a little boring and makes you tired after a while

Yeah just exited the game and loaded this post!

Amazing graphics; lots of rewarding but optional depth; dynamic campaign, what sux is the under-documented stuff.

Of course, this is still not a game for everyone. It won't have as broad an appeal as a typical action game would be the perfect sim to gradually learn by keeping a comprehensive spiral-bound manual by your side (see . It requires patience and a certain amount of inquisitiveness, as it's not very well documented. It sorely needs a better manual or a more informative tutorial. If you have a question about what this dial means or what that setting does, you're not going to get much help in the actual game. This is a shame, because Silent Hunter IIIDangerous Waters for an example of this). It's got the flash required to hook a new player and the depth to reward a long-term investment, but it doesn't have the documentation to teach you what to do. Whoever was responsible for shipping this superlative game with its 50-page manual did it a terrible disservice.

I bought it.Before I went into the USAF I was really torn between The Navy's "Silent Service" and flying.I chose flying.{No,I was not a pilot but a weapons oficer on a B1B Lancer}At 6'3" & 240ibs. I was a bit too tall & Large to meet pilots regs.
