You're free to ignore them completely and do everything yourself, but they're there if you need a helping hand with anything from fighting enemy destroyers to getting back home for repairs, upgrades, and a celebratory bratwurst. Not comfortable with torpedo firing solutions? There's a guy for that. You of course are on the Axis side, as the captain of between one sub and a whole flotilla, with a team of NPC officers at your beck and call. The setting is the Atlantic, between 19 - a version based on actual Kriegsmarine maps. (More realistic than a German U-Boat commander with a British accent, anyway.) If you're going to be restricted by technology, at least this is realistic.
More than the other games, it showed the limits of the technology with a 3D view apparently restricted to a small periscope, though that doesn't matter too much.
Like all of Ubisoft’s recent online announcements, Silent Hunter Online is a free to play game that runs directly in your browser and, like the Justice League Unlimited episode The Great Brain Robbery, is based on Flash.
Silent Hunter Online is a cut-down version of the experience, but looks to make up for it by letting you bring friends, and taking the F2P route to putting the You Bastard into U-Boat. It's your job to hide, literally, under the radar to hit your enemy when they're least expecting it and be away before swift retaliation arrives to send you drowning to Davy Jones' endless locker. There's no such thing as playing fair when you're the captain of a submarine.
