Default New game: Crash Dive

Hey submariners! I was a huge fan of Silent Service when I was young, playing it endlessly on the Amiga. Recently, I’ve had the urge to sink some convoys, but couldn’t find any current games that offered quite that perfect blend of simulator and action.

So I made one.

If you want to engage in some tactical submarine combat, and have an Android or iOS tablet, you might want to check out Crash Dive, available now on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.

If you have any feedback, suggestions, or requests, I would love to hear them!

Regards and happy hunting,

Scott Goffman

Bought it and played a bit. The map is a bit too realtime for my taste and it just seems strange to have to turn the sub to fire torpedoes. Still entertaining, though.

Thanks for the feedback, Julhelm!

>The map is a bit too realtime for my taste

Can you clarify what you mean by that? Is the pacing too slow? If so, have you tried using the Time Scale control at the top left to speed it up?

>it just seems strange to have to turn the sub to fire torpedoes.

The fire arc is about 45 degrees (22.5 each way) from the bow and from the stern. When I tried higher values than that, it felt really odd to have torpedoes coming out the side of the sub.

>Still entertaining, though.

Glad you liked it, and thanks again for the feedback. If you have any more, I'm always open to suggestions.

Regards,

-Scott

Hey Scott I started a war patrol and the games is fantastic ref what I said earlier about the ship taking to many torpedo to sink that must have been the tutorial set up . Per other sub game this game is right on about the # of torpedo to sink the ships. keep up the great work regard Lewie

Hi Scott,

Heard about your game from elsewhere and grabbed it immediately (Android version). It's pretty great for what it does (quick tactical action on the go) and I'm *thrilled* to hear you're thinking of adding more simulation-style options as well.

I keep getting inspired by seeing games here (I'm working on a tactical subsim myself, played from the top-down view because 2D/3D art is hard ) and your submerged sonar view is very close to some of the concepts in my head. I'm thrilled to see someone execute so well on this, gives me hope that I'll have something as nice looking someday.

I've already gotten my money's worth; looking forward to the updates!

Thank you

Hey Scott!

I wanted to sign up and register just to drop this thank you post. I recently had a baby and have had lots of time sorta 'stuck' with the baby on my chest while trying to put her to sleep etc.... This game has been a huge form of entertainment during those long hours. The ability to play from my iPad is great.

I switch between this game and Pacific Fleet and just love 'em. Keep up the great work!

Also, the SubSim community rocks as well. Thanks for the all the informative posts!

Again, thanks a ton!

CJ

Great, glad to hear you're enjoying Crash Dive! A version has been released on Android that includes a "Sim" difficulty level; it will also be available on iOS once it finishes the slow crawl through Apple's approval process.

"Sim" mode has the same values as "Hard", but with these changes:
-dud torpedoes
-no computer torpedo targeting
-no ping visualizations (the rings and "bounce" graphics in the chart view)
-no search timer/indicator (so it's harder to tell what the enemy is doing)
-Longer enemy search times

Thanks to everyone for the great feedback, it's really helped me focus on updating the game in ways that will have the most impact for this community.

Happy hunting,

-Scott
