![]() ![]() On the Steam forums for example you find lots of people saying it's not ready for full release because crew management has been automated so much there's nothing to manage anymore, then ignore that those same fans whined about crew management constantly until the devs put in all that automation (why are the sailors tired? Add a shift scheduler! Let me just make settings and avoid needing to directly control things). It's pretty feature complete today, no game breaking bugs, not much more will be added besides ambience and they've even added small quality of life tweaks after people complained about certain micro around crew management (automatic pumps, etc).Īside from their publisher (Playway) being a red flag for everyone, there's nothing that should give people the idea that it's vaporware or a gamble, but everyone still talks about it that way. Not to you specifically, but I see UBOAT definitely has this reputation (still) in general and I can't understand why. I see a lot of people like the sub play in Cold Waters for example. There's a bunch of others that are naval themed and have subs, but they're just another ship type. Sub Command from 2001 is also a good one that lets you play Russian ones (which these games usually don't). The manual is super thick but will teach you everything you ever wanted to know about how subs work. It's an oldie but if you really like modern subs, Jane's 688 Hunter/Killer is the best of the lot. There may be something similar that's online only but I forget the name now. It can be played singleplay but really designed around coop (hence the name) of hunting convoys with friends. The grognard community at Subsim put out a game called Wolfpack. It leans more heavily on crew management than any other sub game, and sacrifices some of the mechanics around the actual tech limitations of the time (simplifies target calculations and torpedo settings essentially) but there are realism mods to crank up the difficulty. ![]() I think 4's reputation has recovered a bit, but never played that or 5. I personally stopped at SH 3 (tons of mods available as well), but they made 2 more after that weren't so well received by fans. Great series, still unmatched in terms of realism and difficulty. If you find that Barotrauma is something you’re into it’s currently on sale for 75% off its normal price on Steam until October 20th.You're thinking of Silent Hunter.
