I like that game. Graphics are not the best and I acutally had trouble running it on Windows 11. But it works now on Linux via Proton! Its very technical with all the station and all that but its fun. I think its one of the best naval sims out there.

Might require some tweaking to get this to run on a modern system, but if you like the concept of Sea Power or Cold Waters yet find their simulational aspect too shallow (he he), definitely give Dangerous Waters a try. It's a much deeper (ho ho) game, though without a dynamic campaign.

Pretty good, but buggy. My hours are likely to stay forever 27, as after I open the game it doesnt say im playing, even though the game is running.

I struggled and googled how to get it working on Windows 10. I got it working. I also got the extensions to work and now I don't dare to download it anymore :D But there's nothing to do, it's the best naval battle simulator so far and there's no better one yet. As long as nothing is done to beat it, I'll keep using it
