Default Dangerous Waters, Sub Command & 688

Hello there.

This question might have been asked but I've failed to find a thread about it, so...

I bought the Complete Naval Pack from Steam in order to get Fleet Command.

Thing is that I already own Dangerous Waters and never tried the two other sub sims.

My question is simple, as I love to play subs and stuff should I continue to play Dangerous Waters or go over to 688 or sub command? Thanks!

Just realized that DW didn't even worked on Steam anymore... Noice... I Guess?

So, if any of those two games going to give me the same experience?

DW is somewhat more complex and won't run on win8.

As all of these games are simulations, then DW is better I would assume. It also has a superior mod selection if you go that way.

With 688 you have the ... well 688 only. With Subcommand you have a Seawolve and Akula also. Subcommand is the successor of 688, so generally speaking it is 'better'. And DW comes after Subcommand, with even more playables, even flyable and a frigate. But there are no doubt simulation details that are different. How you handle torpedoes and other weaponry and sensors. As the years past on the simulation fidelity got better, but that is a personal choice as to what feels more real to you.

If you get both, simply play both.
