Well-designed user interface with better textures on the instruments, which allow you to make more accurate calculations; The inclusion of instruments that enable you to hunt efficiently on 100% realism and not have to rely on crew.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Love the time compression mechanics (where it goes to 1x automatically if a plane or enemy ship is spotted).
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
They were authentic, their difficulty levels were customisable according to your play style and their replay value was increased by offering users more than 1 vehicles to use.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game is perfect, it has slightly older graphics, but it has great AI enemy mechanics and sea combat mechanics, which makes it, at least in my opinion, the best submarine game ever made, in which you can go through the entire WW2 in career mode and explore the technology of German submarines.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its dynamic campaign system, detailed simulation mechanics, and immersive atmosphere combine to create a uniquely authentic depiction of World War II naval warfare.
