Agrajag, you make some good points, and I agree with you. Yes, Crash Dive is not a simulation on par with Silent Hunter 3, 4, 5. I would contend that it is comparable to SH1, though. Not as simulation based, but not too far off. Although it is not a "serious" simulation, I think it does have much of the same feel and gameplay as SH1 and Aces.

The fuel is consumed during a war patrol, there is a status bar at the top of the map screen that shows its state. I would argue that the resupplies are too frequent--real U-boat skippers usually did not resupply 3 times in a patrol, so going back to base and ending the patrol is right.

Definitely agree, would love to see more variety. BTW, Scott, what is a Clickitat class tanker?

Again, I agree. There are areas such as this where the AI could use additional attention, but I would still say the overall AI rates good. Not great, not perfect, but perfectly playable.

I hope this does not come off as argumentative, I appreciate the feedback.
