## Silent Depth Submarine Sim Description
Welcome to Silent Depth, the first real 3d submarine simulation for mobile devices. Being a member of the Silent Service of the US Navy you take command of a Gato/Balao class submarine and go on extended patrols in the dangerous waters of the Pacific in world war II. Your task is to attack Japanese merchant ships without being caught by destroyer escorts either using your torpedo weapons or your deck gun in a realistic environment. Control your submarine, use your strengths and find the weak spots of your enemy. Only that way you have a chance to survive this thrilling 3d simulation. Run silent, run deep!

No ads, no in-app purchases, just the full game for one price. Free updates for the life time - and there will be much more content to come! Attacking war planes, medals, achievements, missions to name a few.

## Silent Depth Submarine Sim Reviews in United States

### ****- "Issues"
I tried “App Support” but no Contact Us there. So… I get these generic “Ships” that move at “0 knots” when I’m pretty sure they are supposed to be warships. I get them where there should be an escort mostly. Or when a cruiser and destroyer might be traveling together. But the worst is when they show up in a battle group. There will be a carrier and a battleship and “Ships” that do nothing. So the carrier/battleship are just sitting ducks. Hope you can help. Otherwise, a fun game.
-- Morton O’Kane, 2024-12-23

### ***** "Love the game on my iPad"
Game is tons of fun 
Some ideas
Needs a pause button in menu 
Every once in a while there are still ships that are going zero knots and can’t be sunk and you can’t escape the game
No way to see the deck gun remaining ammo in the information screen
Please keep on updating the app !
-- lefty38_wa, 2024-12-05

### **--- "Not worth it"
I want to like this game.
Starting out, driving the sub out of harbor, so exciting. But the excitement quickly ends.
You sail towards your patrol area, and will suddenly encounter a small target. Not only in the middle of nowhere, but technically in US waters. What is this freighter doing way out here?
When you do encounter a ship, suddenly they are barely 2nm away if not closer. The game takes away the entire skill and thrill of stalking a convoy.
And the graphics! The “map” view, has glyphs for your sub and other contacts, looking wildly out of place for a WWII simulator. It should look like grease pencil markings, instead it looks like a modern naval simulator on top of a cheap reproduction of a map.
The worst part of the map view, is it doesn’t show the torpedo tracks! So while it shows accurate glyphs of each ship, you have no idea where your torpedoes are.
Then the worst part, which should be a celebration, is when you sink a ship. *Nothing happens*. You check the map, the red glyph is just gone! XO not gonna confirm the tonnage sunk?! He confirmed every single rudder change saying “rudder amidship” but when you finally sink something he’s weirdly silent? The single moment you are playing the game for, and there’s zero recognition or celebration.
And it gets worse!
If you are stupid enough to keep playing it, you literally run out of targets. It’s as if there’s a fixed number of ships in its universe, and after 4 or 5 patrols, they are just all gone. I’ve driven patrols around Japan without a single contact.
And *over* Japan. 
You can just directly sail over Japan. Why worry about where there is land? Just sail right across!
And I can keep going. The “toolbar” at top is weirdly complicated. Separate buttons for periscope view and top of sail view. Should just be a single button. And a pointless 3D view button - looks great, but doesn’t make sense, how is this 3D view even possible? I have to carefully set every throttle and rudder and depth setting, but somehow I can freely fly around the ship with a 3D view?
To fix, it’s really not much:
- map view should look more like an actual map, with grease pencil markings for ships and torpedo tracks
- scratch the 3D view
- only a single “binocular” view button in toolbar, which goes to periscope if up, or sail view if surfaced
- ship systems button is pointless, certainly not needed at top toolbar
- binocular and deck gun view are wildly difficult to keep on target. Need an ability to keep locked on
- engage

### ****- "Medals and Game Saves"
It took me a while to figure this out….but this is a game where you MUST NOT DIE, or you lose everything and literally start from scratch. 
So if you’re even close to being killed…,close the app and start your saved game again. People claim that getting medals is impossible. Not true…but you won’t get them if you keep getting killed.
-- Pico Hernandez, 2024-05-07

### **--- "Game play"
Bad equipment false data but over all the game is ok
-- Sniper1234&7($8, 2024-02-13

### ***** "Good game"
It’s a good game but I think it needs a graphic overhaul and being able to go below test depth because the fleet submarines could usually go below test depth relatively safely
-- raid feid fan, 2022-12-08

### *---- "Bug. Game resets"
The game resets to the beginning after getting passed 2 months. I paid for this app so please fix it
-- Scott804, 2022-12-01

### **--- "Good Concept, full of bugs"
Paid 5 bucks for this game as it made me think of Silent Runner, an old console game. This could be a great game if it were not full of bugs: ships that don’t show on the screen, inaccurate distance indicators, ship not turning when rudder is full right or left… often I had to restart the game, lose progress to continue game play.

Game could also benefit from improvements such as target zoom, ability to attack docked ships, AA Gun….

As it is, it is not worth the “investment”.
-- aramos6469, 2022-07-28

### ****- "Great game, but could be better."
I love this naval combat submarine game, but however, it would be a lot better to have infinite reloads for the deck gun on the submarine, especially missions to escort allied aircraft carriers and including other friendly vessels like allied destroyers, battleships, cruisers and allied submarines, attacking enemy aircraft carriers, enemy cruisers, torpedoing enemy battleships, battling against enemy submarines, destroying enemy destroyers and infiltrating enemy naval ports.
-- Charly Dat Duc Lai, 2022-06-28

### ***-- "Good, but could be better"
In addition to the comments others have made, I have experienced encounters were none of the ships are identified. They are clearly destroyers and light cruisers, but they are identified in the game as simply ship. When sunk they go the correct tonnage. But it worse they don’t attack. They usually accompany carrier and battleships in the large targets, but I have had it happen in medium too.

Another fix is that sometimes the crew will not reload torpedos. I have had to run from large targets because I empty the FWD and AFT tubes, but it won’t reload. There are usually a couple more destroyers to sink and I can do anything about with torpedos.

Great start to a game, but needs many fixes.
-- VictorRavenloft, 2022-03-15

### ***-- "Good game… but…"
This is by far one of the better WW2 simulator games I’ve played on a device. I love that I don’t have to calculate exactly when to fire the torpedoes based on distance speed and trajectory. However a few notes

1) I feel like the patrol zone should change every time you return to port to refuel and rearm. Half the time when I’m supposed to patrol a zone on the other side of the map, I use up have my fuel getting from Wake/Midway Islands just to the patrol zone. I even engage some ships as well, making my stay in the zone even shorter. 

2) Some of the large Japanese fleets that I’ve encountered, numbering around 10-12 ships, glitch. To the point where it doesn’t even identify what type they are, it just says “ship”. It also doesn’t give a speed reading, it says “0 kts”. Which is fine I suppose but when I try to sink them they won’t go down. 

3) Air cover. I recently attacked an aircraft carrier in the game in broad daylight. I was even surfaced. And I sank it easily (minus dodging defending destroyers and cruisers). One addition I would like to see is the addition of Japanese planes actually attacking. Whether from carriers, or, if the patrol zone is closer to Japan, then from the sky. This would incorporate the use of the anti aircraft gun on your sub, instead of it just being there and us not being able to use it. 

4) Decoys. Decoys were a staple of submarine warfare of that time, so maybe and additional button for us to launch decoys in case we get swarmed too heavily by Japanese ships would be a plus. 

Otherwise, awesome game.
-- Benjamin Rike, 2021-10-09

### ****- "Please fix"
Love this game a ton and play it all the time, the only reason I stopped playing was because when I set a certain depth, the sub went down but when I tried to re-surface it would not do anything. It’s a glitch maybe? Please fix
-- Superseth7, 2021-04-06

### ***-- "On the verge of greatness."
Game play is very good, aided by good graphics and sound. 

Launchable counter measures, oil slick and debris decoys, and more specific, more limited, more targeted missions could improve the experience.

The only major software glitch is frequent uncommanded, instant, excursions below test depth or to the surface, both of which happen at the least opportune moments.
-- KAPRock, 2020-11-01

### ****- "Please add a Battle of the Atlantic campaign"
This is a very high quality & realistic sub sim in my opinion. Everything from the physics to details is impressive as are the 3D views.

Please add a Battle of the Atlantic campaign. 
Keep up the great work!
-- Chippin16, 2020-10-25

### ***** "Update Needed"
This game is great overall but an update is needed to fix the submarines you command in war patrol so they can be actual to real us subs used in the Pacific during World War II
-- Stevenvanb, 2020-09-17

### ***** "To developers"
Could you please add first person so you can walk around the submarine as you do in the PC game Wolfpack and please keep the 360 button while you add free roam
-- 9:30 pm, 2020-07-29

### **--- "Could be a lot better"
Not what I expected game to slow graphics not very good not sharp ,not real ,had a game called Silent hunters was a great game  graphics were excellent and was fun to play ,this can’t wait to get over ,or punch stop.Sorry Chris12 also wish I could get my money back.
-- screw it 12, 2020-07-25

### ***** "AI are kind of dumb"
First this is a good game keep up the good work. But the AI are like not that smart. and most of the time I just stay on the surface when there’s a destroy.
-- Bullsharkseven, 2020-07-18

### ***** "What’s with Japanese base"
Can you add Japanese submarines
-- TiffaniLanting, 2020-07-15

### ***** "Still the best"
This is the only real sub game in the App Store Crash dive is good but more of an arcade game. This game will have you playing for years .:I don’t bother attacking small or medium targets only large because the map is to big and I don’t want to go back to resupply my sub taking on a large group ( carrier) with destroyer escorts will test you every time it’s never the same , this is the only real sub game I love this game and I’ve been playing since it came out I end my night every nite playing this game
