Raging Thunder!! A subsim without the words "Wolves" or some kind of metal.


From the review:

Raging Thunder doesn't have any top-shelf pretensions. The interface doesn't resemble actual submarine equipment, and the lack of simulated sonar and target motion analysis gear reduce Raging Thunder to an arcade level sim. Realism, despite the number of submarine types listed, doesn't technically apply. All subs carry the same weapons--that means Russian Akulas with Harpoons. Even so, there are several things worth pointing out in its favor. The graphics are acceptable-- the ocean rolls to some degree and the enemy ships are fairly well rendered. The periscope view is quite good. RT is the only subsim I can name that factors in a little rain and weather. When the depth charges go off, the entire screen flashes white. And although the program is relatively simple, the gameplay is challenging. Enemy AI is good; the frigates are tenacious and capable. You'll find yourself replaying missions repeatedly to succeed.

No more talk, can you beat Subnuts to it? Or will he take you to school again? I'm hearing rumors of an alliance forming to man the forums 24/7 and a hotline to dig up the answer of Mystery Subsim #27 (which is just now coming to periscope depth).

Good hunting, commanders!
Neal
