Crash Dive

Have original iPad with 5.1 (unstable op);& iPhone 4 with 7 op. Keeps crashing on iPad, however, runs fine & stable on iPhone 4. Game looks impressive. Begin in Easy mode. Begins in summer 1942 in mid-Atlantic. Venture from Lorient to mid-Atlantic. Computer finds closest convoy & accesses convoy ship count. No escorts sighted in convoy - Attack. Swipe the screen for steering followed by tapping compass (located on bottom right to engage). Targets are computer controlled & so fire torpedoes. Usually 1 torp/ship. Designed to be arcade 1st & simulator 2nd. All the difficult aspects of steering, locating convoys, torpedoe/ship angles are computer controlled. Torpedoes always hit & detonate - no duds. Silent Hunter game for PC no longer runs on Windows 7 or 8. This is the next best thing. Given the limited resources on iPad/iPhone, this is the best U-boat game out there.

Greatest game ever

Check your maps, lie in wait, fire your torpedoes, dive, run, use decoys, hope the escorts don't find you, when the coast is clear try to pick off another. Repeat. You will love this game If you like WWII era submarine warfare and tactics. Graphics are nice, gameplay mostly easy and straight forward, easy controls. The biggest 'drawback' is that this is more game than simulator. It really leaves you wanting better SONAR modeling, weapons limitations and advancements, different boats, more advance AI and so on. But as a game based on submarines it is a great little time waster. I hope the authors continue to push it forward to more simulator like features

Wow. Could be a great game if it worked.

Buy it!......a lot of fun.
