Well it depends. Surely Fast Attack is better than stock 688i, Sub Command or DW. Fast Attack has the better campaigns and the interface and sounds are more immersive.
However it also lacks at some points. The Sonar station is not as good as in DW lacking Narrowband and Demon display. Also in Fast Attack when deployed towed array the contacts are displayed in the same display as the Bow Sonar the contacts will only get clearer but no mirror contacts for TA and no possibility to switch between Bow Sonar and Towed Array. Also Fire Control settings are always set automatically.
No choice to set torpedo in active or passive mode. Also there are no mobile mines mk67 and no special forces in Fast Attack.
Compared to DW with Reinforce Alert the AI is not aggressive enough. RA also excels in Fire Control many choices of weapons and decoys and many settings for weapons.
Still Fast Attack is a Blast from the Past and I still like it very much. To put it short Fast Attack is more a TMA and tactics simulator while DWX excels on Sonar and Fire Control.
P.S. The Mods for Fast Attack on subsim are AFAIK the only ones.
