Our take on Silent Hunter®: Wolves of the Pacific
The submarine-command focus narrows the game to a specific wartime role and setting. It offers campaign progression and crew development, but does not cover a wider range of military careers or combat roles.

Command U.
S. submarines and crews in the Pacific during World War II. Career Mode follows a naval officer’s progress through dynamic campaigns with varied objectives, events, and rewards.
