Maybe you guys can help me out since I found a lot of games that are kinda like this but not quite.
It doesn't need to be a full-blown simulation, but it needs to be convincing.
What I want is a game that puts me inside a submarine, looking at screens full of radar and sensor information, and letting me control the sub in a realistic manner, only with the information provided in the control room. It's okay if the game jumps to an external view just to show the ultimate consequence of conflict, but mostly, I should be in the sub looking at screens.
Is there such a game?
Ideally, I play on the Xbox. My laptop is a potato, so it's only good for very old or otherwise lightweight games (technically speaking, this could easily be a command line game... like naval
htop). Other kinds of naval simulation are good for this thread.Thanks!
