There are also different weapons available: the deck gun and the anti-aircraft gun. In the engine room you’ll check up on things like fuel and air, in the torpedo room you can switch torpedoes loaded in any of the four tubes and in the radio room you’ll receive and send messages. There are other rooms: the engine room, torpedo room and the radio room. This is an important room as a lot of information is accessible from here (such as ammunition stocks and depth), and functions like diving and raising the periscope are also accessed from this room. Tweaking these options allows you to change the difficulty of the missions, as well as the tactics you will have to use.Īfter selecting your mission and reading the briefing you’ll find yourself in the control room of the submarine. This last option involves setting torpedo performance, onboard repairs and torpedo complement. Regrettably there are only five of them, but each offers a distinct challenge, from a relatively simple crossing of the Straits of Gibraltar (which can be seen as an introductory mission) to a North Atlantic patrol in which you use all your skills to find, identify and destroy enemy convoys.īefore choosing your mission you’ll be able to set the difficulty, choose the type of submarine under your command (each having a different combination of top speed and weapon complement) and set the historical accuracy. Baltic Training can be seen as an arcade mode of sorts, in which you’ll focus on a single aspect of gameplay and try to get as high a score as possible. There are two modes of play: Baltic Training and the missions. You’ll be facing fighter raids, depth charges and cannon fire so you’ve got your work cut out. There are certain missions available, and it’s up to you to complete them, keeping your ship and crew safe while doing so. You are the captain of a German U-boat during WW2. Besides that, this is a simulator: sometimes many activities need to be performed in order to complete your mission successfully. I noticed little of the environment known from the movie. Although some of the missions bear some resemblance to the movie, they are not identical. This is the game Das Boot, and the first thing I’ll say to you is not to expect a reproduction of the movie. You will know the atmosphere of the movie, the panic and the claustrophobic environment, and the chances are that you liked it. Most of you will know the movie Das Boot.
