Das Boot: German U-Boat Simulation

Das Boot: German U-Boat Simulation puts you in command of a 1941-era Type VII U-Boat during World War II. Deep beneath the icy waters of the Atlantic, you lead your submarine against Allied forces at sea, on the surface and in the air.

Submarine warfare

You use torpedoes to attack Allied submarines and surface vessels, and rely on the ocean’s depth to protect yourself from aircraft. You can also surface to ambush ships with the deck gun, or use the 88mm deck gun and anti-aircraft batteries to attack Allied planes and ships before diving to safety. A hydrophone detects depth charges, enemy submarines and surface threats, while an onboard code-cracking machine helps you decipher transmissions and keep enemies in the dark.

Four torpedo types are available: Contact, Acoustic, Looping and Magnetic. You must also dodge depth charges as you outmaneuver and overpower enemy combatants.

Missions and difficulty

Multiple missions take you from the Strait of Gibraltar to the coastlines of Norway. Three difficulty settings maintain the challenge as your warfare skills increase.
