While the game may actually be an apalling sub sim (how should I know, I have never seen more than pictures of subs), it does a very good job of expressing the atmosphere of modern underwater combat. You need to act on incomplete information and are rewarded when your educated guess on the class of the sonar target is correct, with better knowledge of its location. The mechanism for dodging or decoying torpedoes may be inaccurate, but you know that you are trying to have the torpedo listen for you where you are not.
It is a very good game and actually more fun than 688 Attack Sub, by EA.
