Submarine simulations
A submarine simulation is a type of video game that simulates the experience of operating a submarine. These games aim to provide players with a realistic or semi-realistic portrayal of submarine operations, including navigation, combat, and various mission objectives. Submarine simulations often emphasize strategic thinking, navigation skills, and an understanding of underwater warfare tactics.
Submarine simulation games may be set in historical periods, allowing players to experience the challenges faced by submarines in different eras. Alternatively, some games may take place in fictional settings or future scenarios.
Popular examples of submarine simulation games include titles like the Silent Service series, Das Boot, Aces of the Deep.
