Not necessarily true to me

Silent Hunter 3 and 4 ( I don't have 5) are more of an experience sim.
It simulates being in command and operating WWII sub in a second world war. Atmosphere is important in this kind of sim hence nice graphics and all.

while

DW is more like a procedural(function or tasking) sim that is the simulation of modern procedures of detecting, classifying, plotting and engaging enemy. It's more of tasking sim than an experience sim. To be frank it's more like a [simplified] training tool than a game.


The other type of sim is a study sim(Falcon 4.0, Blackshark) but to make one for sub sim is ridiculous.

At best the merging of SH3 and DW gameplay and type of sims will give us that dream sub sim game ever.
