I bought this game a couple of years ago as a change of pace from Silent Hunter. It is certainly not perfect. Quite frankly, I would consider it a rushed beta, as there are minimal sound effects and the hyper-vigilance that gets your scope busted so easily comes from apparent simplistic detection coding. There is a mod, Uboote Kurs West, which makes some nice changes, but the game really needs a megamod to finish what the developers started. After reading the credits and looking at what the developer has also produced, the game was obviously a personal project of a handful of people.
The biggest flaw that kills this game is the inability to save during missions. All missions must be done in one sitting. Without a save function, any long-term play is defeated. It is not a bad game, but it is certainly flawed.
