Sub Command

This is the sequel to Jane's 688(i) Hunter/Killer but now under the flag of Sonarlysts. Most features have already been mentioned in my review of 688(i) so I will try to tell only the difference between these two: - Higher resolution and better graphics - 3 plattforms to operate (688(i), Seawolf, Akula) - Single missions and campaigns which can be played as US or russian. - Use your voice to command your ship...

After playing 688i Hunter/Killer, I was looking forward to the sequel. To summarize: The good: 1) More features than 688i. 2) More controlable subs (Seawolf, 688i, and Akula). 3) Each sub has it's own campaign line that shares the events of the other 2 campaigns. 4) Much better tutorial, though I still don't get the manual TMA system with the dots and the ruler. 5) The Navigation Screen (Map Screen) is much...

Sub Command is one of the dying breed of submarine simulations on the PC, where you command one of 3 submarines trying to accomplish various missions against various enemies while trying not to kil civilians. The graphics are not that good, but then in a sub you don't really get to look at the outside. Instead, you are looking at visual representation of sound, how to interpret sonar signals, and when to employ your...

Still a great game but you would probably be crazy not to get Dangerous Waters instead. The same submarines are featured in it plus surface ships and a couple of extra years of graphical development. The subsim community tend to develop campaigns more for Dangerous Waters than the older games I would imagine anyway, but the custom downloadable third party campaigns were always great back in the day. So I do recommend...

A good game, with some seriously well done SONAR modelling in the Sub-Sub dept., it unfortunately shows its age in occasional bugs (in campaign) and retains yester-decade's myths of how various weapons worked (No, 65-57 are not DP wire-guided; No, Shkval is not anti-submarine). All told, it is a game that is terribly overwhelming and satisfying all at once, and is worth getting alongside the other games in the...

It works in Windows 11 The interface improvements are undeniable, however the game as a whole feels inferior to the prior installment 688(I) Hunter/Killer. In 688(I) Hunter/Killer you had crew experience points, Sub upgrades, at the end of the mission you had to transmit an status report, and you also had a few live action videos. All those features are missing in this new game. The game has several issues, some...
