Nice update to a classic
As suggested on the game box, the system requrements are somewhat steep. The suggested minimum of 1 Gig of memory is realistic and you will need a good video card to run it. Those with integrated video or no means of adding a video card are out of luck. First the pros: The graphics are somewhat improved, ships show realistic damage from torpedo and gun hits. Crew members man lifeboats and rafts when thier ship sinks. The effect is striking and goes a long way towards justifying the recommended system requirements. The crew no longer needs to be micromanaged, as there is a battlestation command in the game. When this option is off, the crew is automatically rotated out of stations
Cons: The sound meter is missing, so there's no way to tell how audible your sub is to enemy ASW ships. The water effect doesn't quite look right, with too much reflectivity. The manual, though informative, seems incomplete.
