I remember that one - played it in the late 1980's. That was the 2nd Sub Sim game I got after "Gato"; SBS was definitely a step up. From what I recall, in Gato, you could only shoot straight ahead, so SBS was more sophisticated in allowing you to choose the gyro angle (which I had no idea how to set - most of my shots were "down the throat"). Unfortunately most of my love for the game was probably from the lack of "Silent Service II". By the time I got that game, I had less time for gaming and never learned how to play it. I played the German side more than the American side, because the Japanese shipping losses meant that later USN/PAcific patrols were less eventful than Kriegsmarine/Atlantic patrols.
