I bought DW recently and I must say - wow, this game is simply amazing with the level of detail it offers (it reminds me one of the 1st games of its kind - "Red Storm Rising" that I played on C64 many years ago - probably the first one which simulated thermal layers!). I've just printed DW manual (it almost killed my cartridge :-?) and started my first mission on 688... now it's learning time ;).

Yeah, I already saw this campaign was available from your site and I'm going to give it a try, this is certain! But first I'm going to learn the basics and play the stock game missions. Thanks!

I bought this game about a month ago and am still feeling my way around. So far I do like it quite a bit though the graphics are pretty weak by today's standards. But the game itself isn't really about graphics and eye candy so from that standpoint I give it a 100%.

(As an aside, after I bought DW I also picked up the Naval Combat Pack. While I prefer WWII subsims I have come to appreciate the complexity and knowledge needed to play modern subs. In another words, I love 'em now, too!)

Basically, DW is a challenge...and that's an understatement to say the least. That's why I like the game. I like to be challenged.

DW has some faults. And you can say it's a lot of things. But it ain't no arcade. And I LOVE that in a Naval sim.

I learn by playing "quick missions" on 688 sub with manual sonar & tma. Very challenging but gives a lot of fun. Especially TMA can be frustrating ;)

You should try and use paper and pencil then i normaly do all my solutions on paper.

Well, I suspect it may be very time-consuming if you have multiple contacts... On the other hand, the TMA screen leaves something to be desired, i.e. it's hard to use if LOBs are very close to each other and you have to zoom out & scroll & zoom in a lot to find the solution (and unfortunately, you can't scroll by mouse drag). BTW, is this screen modelled after real TMA displays?
