Good fun, tutorial was lengthy but informative and as an avid sub sim fan it's a nice change to have a surface ship to command, gameplay is quite similar to the silent hunter series which i appreciated immensely, made picking up the navigation between stations easier to get used to i think. Straight out of the tutorial i sucked lost my convoy and eventually crashed into another escort but second time around i managed to sink my target and even with a lot of the stations set to automatic it still gives you that satisfaction of getting your first uboat kill.. I mean even with the sonar and radar stuff done for you; there's still a lot of trial and error when it comes to hitting a sub with depth charges as they don't just sit there and wait for you to kill them they are actively evading giving you the whole cat and mouse feel as you're needing to adapt your speeds and course changes trying to guess which direction they're going to head next as you have to drop the charges ahead of them.. if you're into sub sims and love evading destroyers as much as I do, you'll enjoy trying to trap the uboats with your surface vessels just the same, as the lead destroyer you have limited control over other escort ships in your convoy as well as aircraft sometimes. If you miss your mark and have to catch up with the convoy after losing the uboat you can extend your search area using one of your subordinate vessels or utilise the aircraft search.. Great game, limited content as expected in Early Access but so much potential.. Already have it listed in my favourites, can't wait to see what the devs bring in future updates :)
