Why isn't there a WWI sub game?

I agree that we need a WWI sub simulator, the childhood of the submarine. I can't wait till the Wolves of the Kaiser is released

Things were very different back then when it comes to sensors and weapons. Their 'listening devices' (they can hardly be called 'hydrophones') were very primitive, and we do not want to talk about their torpedoes. Often the boats presented their own crew with more dangers than did the enemy.

Also it would be an aestetic pleasure to watch the old steamers and Dreadnaughts from early 20th century cross the oceans. There is just something about that era...

The lack of WWI sims is evident throughout PC gaming...not just subs.....very little out there that is up to date in terms of gameplay and graphics. Too bad....it would be so refreshing.

It is disappointing. I used to play the heck out of Red Baron 3D. I can still hum the home screen music!
