Just got myself an iphone and love it..have installed some interesting apps, some useful, some cool, some silly and found this:

- Battle through 20 exciting missions in campaign mode with increasing difficulty providing a constant challenge.
- Select your level of difficulty at the start of a campaign to create even more of a challenge.
- Test your skills in Quick Battle mode against a huge fleet of enemy ships to see how long you can survive.
- Launch torpedoes at the oncoming fleet of ships using your finger to set the direction.
- Face several different ship types such as destroyers, battleships and carriers which have different point values when sunk.
- When destroyers are present during a mission, you may be spotted and have to evade depth charges in an underwater battle mode.
- Listen for the beeps of the U-Boat's sonar as they increase in frequency when you're spotted by an enemy destroyer. Prepare to face an underwater battle!

What do you think? Five stars, no tedious TDC calculations just point with you finger and shoot. :shucks:

Actually might be fun-heck if you have to evade dd depth charges might be less aracadish sort of "super lite sim arcade."

Hmm didn't scroll through the screenshots...ouch. :shifty: Bad research, ah well-I'll stick to Angry Birds or Labrynith on my iphone and Silent Hunter and Il-2 (and soon the new Oleg Maddox sim Cliffs of Dover) for my computer. :yeah:
