Silent Hunter II gives the player the command of a U-boat during the Second Battle of the Atlantic.

 SUBSIM Review - SH2 Innerview part 1
Yes, we realize that the upside to Silent Hunter II is not going to be on a sales level with games like Starcraft, etc., but we feel there is a place for the sim in the market.
The sub tour is already done, and is very different from the one in Silent Hunter I. You now have the ability to jump down the hatch and use the mouse to view the interior of the U-boat in first person.
As an example, in Silent Hunter I you could set the TDC to auto to calculate torpedo firing solutions, or you could switch to manual and calculate the mast height from the ID book and Stadimeter, angle on the bow, all that stuff.

Silent Hunter II Tom's review: In previews, the developers at Ultimation and the producers at SSI/Mattel/UbiSoft assured us that it just wasn't possible to do a dynamic campaign in Silent Hunter II.
But the real tragedy of Silent Hunter II is that Ultimation's reputation has plunged from being one of the last of the sim makers to just another developer helping to bury the whole fucking genre under their half-baked crap.
