Silent Shark changes
Silent Shark 1.0 launches on August 12! Wishlist now!
Here are some of the things you can expect in the full version:
Full Pacific Campaign
Take command of a US submarine and run an entire Pacific campaign, gathering reputation and gaining access to better submarines and technology improvements. Run patrols to commanded zones in the Pacific.
Historical events such as Pearl Harbor, Manila being overrun by the Japanese, Mk IV torpedoes being fixed, and many others will impact your gameplay.
Plot the patrol Plot your route and begin the hunt. Using an authentic patrol zone map, go to the area in your commands and patrol.
Listen for contacts You will want to set a diving schedule to stay out of sight of air patrols, and your hydrophone operator will be listening for sounds of other ships. Additionally you will be receiving (and sending) reports of contacts which will inform your routing decisions.
Set up the intercept
Using the same map tools as in the encounter mode, you can turn the contact data your hydrophone operator is providing into an attack plan—and decide when to commit to an encounter.
Build the firing solution Estimate the target position, calculate the shot, and line up the approach. Get into periscope range and estimate distance via stadimeter - stay hidden by keeping your periscope checks short.
Make it count Flood your tubes, check your torpedo gyros, and commit to your shot!
Cribbage - For long patrols, vary things up by playing some cribbage against a crewman. Your stats are stored for the campaign.
Lifeguarding missions - In later phases of the war, you'll receive orders to search and rescue downed airmen.
Full Scenarios
no more limits to one ship - strike large convoys in any weather or time of day, with differing difficulty levels, intelligent destroyers, and potential air support being called in to hunt you.
Achievements
gather 32 Steam achievements covering tactical feats, AOB training, cribbage, patrols, campaigns, and long-term career milestones.
