Cold Waters: Tactics & Tips + printable key reference

[L16Electech]

I purchased the game as soon as I saw some of the "lets Play ______" videos on YouTube.

As a former Submariner during the 1980's it really piqued my interest, particularly since one of the videos featured my Qual Boat.

I like the game, with reservations:

The stats for the 688 class are simply wrong. The test-depth is incorrect, as is the periscope-depth. Even on elite seting the reload times are ridiculously short. There's no built-in lag for having to back-haul and store empty TLAM/TASM cannisters, which we had to do IRL.

I could go on.

Still, better than anything that went before it and there appears to be an active and vibrant modder-community, so I'll wait for developments and continue honing (or, perhaps, re-honing) my ship-handling skills......

Keep in mind this isn't a full simulator. It's an Action game with simulator elements making it have a solid "real feel" while being approachable.

Honestly I was wanting a new Sub Command, basically. Realism is immersive and I love immersive.

Just - after so many years in Sub Command, I just can't get over how great it is to see these modern nukes in modern graphics.

DW had better models, but the textures were still bland, to the point that the graphics weren't a lot better than SC's, despite the much higher poly count.



But long reload times would still be approachable. Doesn't make the game more complex, just realistic. Possibly more difficult - but only maybe, since longer reloads should apply to enemy subs, too. But admittedly that doesn't help much if you're badly outnumbered...

Dangerous Waters used the same models that where used within Sub Command and most of those where from Fleet Command.
The only real difference was the new stuff they added with each game.
The model encoder and converter is the same for all 3

When there is possibility, that enemy sub/ship wont hear your torpedoes being launched. It's good idea to set them to passive, and point them few KYD to the left or right from your sub. And then onto your targets. Also when ending mission while being on reverse, you'll start new encounter, shallow, running on reverse. Campaign map speed doesn't matter cheers

Perhaps you could mention (within non-disclosure limits) those corrected values? That would be immensly helpful. Thanks.

If you can not disclose these, for whatever reason. You could changes those in your local settings. Enjoy!
