I will admit, When I first bought the game, I was thrilled! This game was great! Until I started completing missions. Graphics are awesome. And the Ocean is the best! Waves crashing over the conning tower, and your bow leaping from the water. Drawbacks are fairly easy to see. Lack of Dynamic Campaign, And the AI is querky, Sometimes they go right by, not even pinging with active sonar, other times, there is no escape. Not even 300m down on Silent Running. When your catching hell from a DD its really intense. On full realisim the game is pretty dam hard. Torpedos have a HUGE chance of dudding. What's cool is Historical Missions in campaign. Gunther Prien's Scapa FLow mission is crazy! and Drumbeat is a shooting gallery. I'm pretty close to ending the campaign. The big Bugs are pretty noticeable. Like no resupply. Other Bugs you cant even notice.
Destroyer Command has a lot more bugs i think. Once again no dynamic campaign. No calling for Air Support. Other than that its pretty neat. I only play this game online.
Online: You need a patch to play online, for both games. Horrible Connections. I'll host a game with 6 people, everybody will get dumped except for me and one other person. I will admit sometimes you have a good game, most of the time you dont. But when you do! Oh boy! Nothing like torping a DD 800 yards out steaming at 32 knots straight at you! You hit em' on a luck shot and you steer out of the way and he misses you by inches! Only to be Sunk by his buddies Ash Can's when you thought you might get away!
