Released! The first review please!?
 

Buy or not to buy?
Any opinions? The first reviews?

:Kaleun_Salute:

I'm with you, waiting on a review or Two before I dive in.
I'm itching to press the Buy button though, not sure I can hold off much longer lol

I've only been through the training missions covering the torps, missiles and navigation, but I'm really enjoying it! Quite fun driving the boat around even though I wish there was an option to just order depth, course etc. Maybe with a few simple evasive manoeuvres built in. Looks really good with meaty explosions. No crew voices though, but I'm really looking forward to jumping into the campaign.

I too am waiting for some more details, especially concerning control of the sub.
Are you saying that you actually have to drive the boat like with WASD and you cannot give a heading and depth setting like in Dangerous Waters?

I am getting conflicting reports on that on the Steam forums, no surprise there of course but if you could clarify that, that would be very helpful.

Thank you sir!

Waiting as well.

Mixed reviews on steam.
I'm worried about the longevity.
Will it get boring quickly?

Or is there enough in there?

Controlling the boat
 

You change the angle of the planes and the rudder up and down in steps of 5º using WASD, X will centre everything.

E & C add/remove bouyancy (flood/blow)

Q & Z step up and down the levels of engine power (stop, 1/3, standard, full and flank as I recall)

To me this makes it more fun than just ordering a depth , course or speed as the skipper would do IRL. It gives you more to do and keeps you busy (it's very easy to broach if you don't concentrate as you come shallow, as you may have seen Neal do in his video)

Ahhh ok. Thank you sir that is helpful.

The other thing I had read is its got built time compression that cant be set to 1:1? Is that correct or has that been changed?

Thank you very much for your information. Very helpful before making up my mind on this.

I am waiting on a review and hoping to see discount keys available thru the usual places like G2A or the other vendors. Probably won't be able to hold out until later tonight and will take the plunge so to speak. Somewhere I read the developers said they would add the ability to issue course/depth orders if there were enough requests for it. So if it is not already there I think it will eventually appear in a patch.

The speed multiplier is at the bottom of this options screen, as you can see it starts at 1.0

Great thank you!

As for the option to be able to just give orders. I hope they do add that or the modding community does. I will keep an eye on this.

I really want to support these guys but I am really not looking for a game where I have to "drive" the sub. I know that might seem like a small thing but for me its a thing. We will see though.

Thank you all and I will keep an eye here for more info before deciding.

I've found the easiest way not to broach is to use the ballast options (E and C).
1 think I don't like though is that PD seems to be 50ft for all playables ?

More reviews...please?
50 foot P.D. Across the board? Not a deal breaker but not a good sign either.

Disclaimer: I did buy it, but I have yet to play it.

Reading some of the negative reviews, it seems some of those complaints are comparing it to other games/sims like Dangerous Waters or Fleet Command. I think they're missing the point that its intent is the "successor" of Red Storm Rising and (in my opinion) should only be compared in kind to that game and not others. Just my two cents...

Get in there Slick and give us a few paragraphs!
:k_confused:

Nope its not, but hopefully something that can be changed with time.
