First, let me tell you about this game. It was fun at the start even though I didn’t purchase anything except for the ad free addition everything worked really well but now it seems like they’re getting money hungry and want you to buy because they’re putting things in place that do not allow you to get your rewards and I will just list them here.1. Multiplying your award does not work. It always sends me off to a place where I don’t get credit at the five times I just get a white screen with options to purchase insurance or other things but never actually get the reward.2. You get to a certain place on the leaderboard, and if you don’t continue to play, you lose your place on the leaderboard3. Same goes for the game board they give you 15 fuel credits but if you stop playing it sets you to another place on the board where you have to use five fuel credits just to get back to where you were at.This was a fun game for a while but now it’s just becoming a problem because you don’t get what you are playing for even if you’re not playing for money and you’re living within their parameters. It’s still not worth it. It’s just a waste of time.

I have fun with this game b/c it’s an easy diversion. A few issues though. 1) why can you sink a Cruiser with one torpedo, but need a couple to sink a Destroyer, which is a more lightly armored ship? They didn’t call them Tin Cans for nothing. 2) It’s not realistic that the ships keep moving at the same speed once they’ve been hit, especially if you strike them in the rudder area, they would lose a lot of maneuverability. It might be realistic that the larger ships might not lose as much speed or maneuverability, the smaller ships certainly would. 3) I already built the Yankee port, and have been on the next one after this for several rounds now, but there is no rectangular button showing in the lower right hand that will actually allow you to build it. 4. Some explanation of what “Main” means in the improvements you can make. 5. Why can’t you control the sub’s movement to get around on the other side of the hospital ship? Once after I hit the big ship behind it a couple times, the hospital ship went in front of it and never moved off of the ship. I fired torpedos out in front of it and the rear, to see if that would cause it to move, but nothing happened. Had to close the app and start over. 6. Finally, sub warfare is most often conducted against a complex convoy, not against battleships, Japanese aircraft carriers (Flattops). 7. Finally some increasing level of complexity would be nice.

Update: I have decided to delete the game from my iPhone and the #1 reason is that is was become absolutely boring to play. Due to the incompleteness of the game, I don’t find it to be even remotely challenging anymore. With the free version, I spend more time watching ads than I do actually playing. I seriously don’t see why I should even consider paying money to play, even though the ads are annoying and repetitive. It was fun when I started, but I honestly don’t see any reason to keep going. I might check back in the future to see if it improves, but I’m going to look for another game on which to spend my leisure time. This is obviously an early version of the game, with additional torpedoes to be added for the player. For some reason, we accumulate points to build ports, but this only goes until level 25 because level 26 is “under construction”. Of course, it’s a challenging game when you’re a beginner, but it doesn’t become harder as you advance in the game. Defeating the enemy eventually becomes pathetically easy. I opted to use the free version because I don’t want to spend money on a game that’s really not in its complete version, despite being available for a year. Neither do I see any benefit in spending almost $10 for the “Premium Gato Class Submarine” at the moment. I understand the need for ads, since income will fund the development of the game. But, ads last longer than actual gameplay, it gets to a point where it just isn’t worth opening the app anymore.

I was working through the game, gold hammers, port storage and skip it’s were abundant and inexpensive. Then the gold hammers became a little harder to get. I have been working through the port storage and got up to level 400 (about 280,000 silver coins) and the next day the same level 400 is a paltry 44,000 coins! That is completely bogus! Your trying to get the silver coins to bolster your fleet (200,000 coins per click on the big locker) and now you have to play 5 times as long and all for just one locker of cards? If this isn’t fixed, I will be deleting the game! I buy skip it’s occasionally, weapon and new ships, but now it’s not worth the aggravation of clearing levels and playing the liberation and raid missions. You have to spend too much time and money to get what used to be almost free. Guys, restore the port storage and fix the card redundancy (for instance, I have several ships maxed out at 100, but I still get more of these cards! Cards I don’t need!), or many of us will stop playing and delete the game. Don’t pull the rug out from under us! Play fair!
