Our take on Sub Command
Rather than placing strategy players over armies or squads, the game confines command to three submarines and their onboard systems. Its missions revolve around detection, tracking, underwater movement, rescue operations, and missile launches, replacing the usual broad battlefield view with naval command procedures.
What is Sub Command?
Sub Command is a strategy game about operating three submarines—the Seawolf, 688(I), and Akula—across two campaigns.
Players use sonar, radar, and Target Motion Analysis to find and follow enemy vessels, then engage them with submarine weapons or launch Tomahawk missiles at inland targets. Missions also include rescuing disabled submarines and surfacing through polar ice to relay information. The game covers transit, diving, and surfacing, with crew automation and straightforward controls for submarine management. Its presentation uses 3D objects, including Russian trawlers and Mirage fighters, alongside sound modes intended to represent torpedoes and other combat events.
