NEW IN UBOOTSIM MISSION "CROSS THE STRAIT" - Slip through the Strait of Gibraltar past the British watch, into the Mediterranean or out to the Atlantic. - In real time, with time compression up to x8 for the impatient. - The mission sets the clock: the day moves on, night falls and storms can blow in. - Real Strait currents: eastward at the surface and westward below 150 m. - Corvette patrols, lookouts on the Rock and searchlights at night. - Distinctions for crossing undetected, riding under the current and more. NEW BUTTON FOR THE IMPATIENT - Stuck on the mission? Unlock free mode from the title screen: see every ship, zoom the chart out and speed up to x32. Restricted mode is still available and is the only one that awards distinctions. GERMAN LANGUAGE - Game, voices and Commander's Manual fully in German. IMPROVEMENTS - The bow turns towards the locked target. Tap the locked target again to release it. - Compass button to set the chart north-up. - Silent running on the bridge. - Torpedoes now arm at 150 m, so close-range shots can hit. - Fewer pistol failures: now only 5 % of torpedoes fail to explode. - Fixed a rare crash in the periscope view.

NEW: NOW ALSO IN GERMAN The whole game and the Commander's Manual, in the language of the Kriegsmarine. Choose ES, EN or DE on the title screen. NEW: MISSION "CROSS THE STRAIT" Besides the free patrol, you can now choose a special BdU mission: cross the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean or the Atlantic without being sunk. You leave from Cádiz, Faro, Tangier, Málaga, Marbella, Tetouan, Melilla or Alboran Island and reach the other side. - Touch navigation chart: tap the sea to plot your route and the U-boat follows it on its own. - No aids: you only see what your periscope and hydrophone detect. - Real day and night, with storms that blow up and die down by themselves. - The Strait currents: on the surface the Atlantic flows in to the east; below 150 m the Mediterranean flows out to the west. Use them to your advantage. - Gibraltar, heavily guarded: corvette patrols, lookouts and searchlights on the Rock, and radar aircraft at night. - Sometimes a British aircraft carrier sails confidently towards Gibraltar. Dare you? - Trios of aircraft, random convoys and neutral ships with lights at night. YOUR REWARD FOR CROSSING - The passage chart: at the end, discover everything that was around you. Where the convoys, the patrols and the carrier went, where you were detected and who saw you. - Free mode: complete your first mission and you unlock, for good, a mission without restrictions. You will see every ship, zoom the chart out, speed up to 32x and shadow the carrier up close. - Six distinctions for your service record, kept for good: Passage completed · Clean crossing · Under the current · Inside the bay · Escort hunter · Carrier sunk. Can you earn all six? Also: more realistic horizon and distant coasts, the periscope stops where you tap the compass, and the manual has a new chapter on the mission.
