The future of Submarine simulations

War thunder is set to add ships and naval warfare soon, its not yet clear if they will add subs or not.

Imo WT is actually a huge plus for WW2 simulation, that game is free and undeniably a massive hit and while its arcade mode is just that (arcadey) you still have the core fundementals of a WW2 flight / Tank sim in there - and it also has historic and Realistic modes with big rewards to attact players to part in them once they have got to grips with arcade.
In that sense its good tool for generating new intreast in WW2 simulation and great for 'easing' people in rather than just chucking them in the deep end.

It has potential to encourge people to see what else is out there in a similar vein and pick up something more hardcore.
Admittedly games have gotten dumber in general, but that is just a trend, trends can always change when people get fed up with them I suppose.
