I'm honestly a little disappointed. I really want to love this game, there are good things about it, but it's a bit too gamey and a little bare bones mechanically and confusing in its realism. Like at 100% realism, distant hydrophone contacts will give you speed and heading, which you can then plug into the computer when you find them and fire with high accuracy from 2 miles away. It has good stuff in it, but yeah... animation is weird, UI is clunky and ugly, some graphical effects like depth charges are weird, AI is just dumb. Missions are a bit buggy and feel like on-rail scripted events.
I know it's still in development, but it feels like it will continue going into a more gamey direction and less in a sim direction. I played over 100 hours of it, but man, there's just stuff about it that feels like it falls short for me.
