What is Silent Shark?

This single-player submarine simulator takes place in the Pacific during World War II and is played mainly on a tactical chart. You use hydrophone readings and periscope observations to estimate target movement, prepare torpedo attacks, and evade escorts. You can learn through tutorials, play standalone scenarios, or build encounters in the scenario editor.

For you if...

+you want tactical command without managing a submarine crew

Not for you if...

−you want detailed 3d environments rather than a map-focused interface
