WELCOME
Sub Command puts you in control of the most advanced submarines in the world, allowing you to
play single missions or the campaign from either a Russian or U.S. vantage point. Multiplayer
missions pit you against players commanding the most capable submarines at sea—whether you
chose to drive the pride of the U.S. Navy’s Submarine fleet or try your hand at commanding one of
the finest Russian submarines.
As commanding officer, you can delegate Sonar, Radar,TMA (Target Motion Analysis) and Fire
Control tasks to your auto crewmen or man all of the stations yourself.
Give orders to your crew via voice commands, use the handy menu commands from the Task Bar
or mouse commands in the Navigation Station.The Task Bar allows you to change depth, speed
and course from any of the ship’s stations.
Create your own missions in Sub Command’s robust Mission Editor. Information from the United
States Naval Institute is available for all military ships and planes used in the game.
