You can also get used to saving a mission or campaign at key times.
This is how many people learned to beat the stock missions.

Also, there is no shame in playing a mission two or three times. DW awards experience, the more you play it the better you get.

Try to stick with the stock game at first, as Chazly said.
Once that starts to feel old, there are missions and campaigns you can download here. Just be sure the missions you download are for the version of the game you're playing. There is also the Mission Editor where you can create your own stuff.

Understand that people have been playing these Sonalysts games for years.

You have the entire world's oceans to play in. You can also develop your own tactics and play the game the way you want to play it.

There are also Mod versions of DW you may want to check out after you've seen and done everything in the stock game. The Mods change the look of the 3DO models and also how they operate. They also expand the number of Navies and ship classes. There are two basic mods for DW:

LWAMI- Available in two versions, 3.08 and 3.11. LWAMI expands the number of Navies and ship classes while updating some of the 3DO models. LWAMI was designed for single player and MP and adds some challenges by changing some of the sonar displays (this was done for better MP play-ability but also works nicely for single player use).

Reinforce Alert (RA)- RA is still being developed and adds newer 3DO models, more playable platforms, weps controls, sensors, etc., etc.
The database of ship classes and nations is huge.
The one downside to RA (IMO) is that it concentrates ONLY on MP, which makes it tough for newer players who are still learning the ropes. You can try to play the included single missions in single player mode but they are extremely difficult (basically, there's no where to hide in RA).
Hopefully, things will start to even out for single player mode as the mod develops (A-hem..).

Still, RA has a solid crew of modders behind it and they don't rush out new versions just for the heck of it. Its a stunning mod just to look at, never mind the game play.
