Downloading the demo as we speak.
It is going to be an exciting weekend :Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

I just downloaded it and played really quick and it looks promising. Keep in mind the sonar diagram is NOT relative to your ship but it’s actually on true north. So if you have the submarine off of your nose it’s not necessarily straight up on the sonar diagram. It’s a little confusing.

So far I like it but it seems like the submarines are super aggressive. In real life they would be trying to hide from the destroyer but in the simulation so far they press the attack on the convoy while you are actively pursuing them. Maybe this can be an adjustable realism setting?

Congratulations on your victory Lanzfield!

Over on the Discord channel the devs just posted that relative bearings are indeed are going to be in the final design ...

"it is already in the design The sonar station will allow you to choose between True and relative. We simply didn't make it in time And Yes, we also have voice messages for relative already recorded"

Thank you! I did indeed sink the submarine after two passes. It may have been luck because I just eyeballed it. Yes it needs a few tweaks but I am having a lot of fun.

I like that. In my first few runs I used the sonar station incorrectly, assuming I was using relative bearings. Like the option to switch.

I've just broke the system.

Want to save your convoy?
Just ram merchant ship!

I installed the demo and messed around a little before I had to go to work. I am now home and I am about to take a deeper dive into it [pun intended].


So far: I really like it! However, I did have a couple of problems - but those might well be user error. I could not seem to draw a line through the target's positions on the DRT, no matter what mouse button I held. And I could not pan around the DRT when zoomed in. But this might be an issue with my scroll wheel button, IDK. I will report back ASAP.


Thank you for making this available!!!

Looks like it is well worth checking out


I hope the final game comes with a well written manual as this looks a bit complicated
