Our take on Silent Hunter®: Wolves of the Pacific U-Boat Missions
The campaign adds new boats, crew abilities and strategic resources, but the online modes are no longer available. That leaves the expansion's additional operations as a single-player offering rather than the multiplayer experience its feature set might suggest.
What is Silent Hunter®: Wolves of the Pacific U-Boat Missions?
This expansion for Silent Hunter: Wolves of the Pacific covers the German U-boat campaign in the Indian Ocean from July 1943 to May 1945.
