Sub vet
From a former submariner (quartermaster Chief) this is a good game balance between reality and fun is good.Well worth playing. Harder levels get a little unrealistic but still good.
Silent Service
This game is very close to the Silent Service game that was played on the Omega with the card overlay on the PC keys. The training bit is well worth doing. The hardest bit in training was AA guns. If you want a game to test your skills on give it a go.
Improvement ideas
This is a great sub sim that’s tons of fun. Some ideas for features to add:
1. Add submarine tenders: It would be cool to be able to rendezvous with a submarine tender in order to repair, refuel and reload the sub. Submarine tenders such as USS Bushnell operated in the pacific during WWII to support US submarines.
2. Friendly ports: It would be nice to be able to start a mission departing a friendly port (ex: Mare Island or Pearl Harbor ).
You could also enter a friendly report and dock in order to repair, refuel and reload the sub.
3. External camera view of the submarine to include when submerged: I know this is easier said than done but it would be really cool.
Thanks for this superb sub sim. Keep up the great work!

Good game
Love this game.Its down to hard work with no pay to play.
Really fun
Good graphics and fun to play.
WORTH THE MONEY
This game is great! I love how dynamic this game is. You can play it for hours and not get bored with it, the upgrade system is great and I like how you can manage the crew. I think in game random events would be cool like if a crew mate was caught steeling from the mess or maybe two crew mates got into a fight, then you could choose the consequences and your choice could affect the crews mood. Also it would be cool if when your crews been under high levels of stress (depth charges for a long time) that they could begin to rebel or not do their job as well. Also, dev I hope you see this, a PT boat game just like this would be amazing.

Excellent Game
This is the best sub simulator app that I’ve found, and I’ve tried most. When played on the more difficult settings it is HARD and requires a lot of strategy and a little bit of luck to stay alive. It is well worth the price, and has no adds except occasional self promotion when opening the app. Gameplay is never interrupted. I’ve had hundreds of hours of fun and still enjoying it.

Best game ever
I’ve played this game for as long as I can remember. Played the same missions again and again. Love love love it. Pretty nearly a perfect game.
Best sub game ever
I have been playing sub games for years about 35 and i still love them I have been playing this since it’s come out and im still playing now and I still love this game. I’m buying a mac book neo at Christmas to play this game on can’t wait. It really is a first class game. Well done !!!
Highly addictive
Definitely worth it
Love This Game!!
Bought and after playing a few times I knew this was a keeper. Jumped on the additional DLC to support the dev and already completed the main campaign and started on DLC. Excellent games.
AA Gun Cannot Be Aimed
Apparently a known but unfixed issue, the AA gun cannot be aimed. This aspect of the game is, according, entirely non-working.
I am running an iPad Pro with the latest upgrades to both the OS and the app.

The best sub sim available on iOS
I’ve been thoroughly enjoying Crash Dive 2 for quite some time; this is much more a simulator than most of the arcade-style games you’ll find. The detail, different levels of difficulty and save options are really good. If I have a criticism, it’s that some of the pick-up missions from a coastline are near impossible, with depths so shallow that you can’t get to the coast without surfacing (and even then, some run you aground) with patrol vessels sat a few hundred yards away. And why, at every downed pilot rescue mission, you’ll reliably find two sub-chasers just sailing up and down. That’s frustrating and very unrealistic but everything else is very good indeed.

A Submarine Veteran’s Review
As a former submariner, I have to say that Crash Dive 2 is one of the most enjoyable submarine games I’ve played in a long time. It strikes a great balance between accessibility and realism. While it’s not meant to be a full-blown simulator like some of the older PC classics, it still captures the tension and tactical thinking that make submarine warfare so fascinating.
What I appreciate most is how the game makes you think like a submarine commander. Managing depth, battery levels, silent running, and torpedo solutions creates that familiar feeling of hunting while trying to remain undetected. When destroyers start dropping depth charges and you’re slipping deeper into the ocean hoping your hull holds, the tension feels surprisingly authentic.
The controls are intuitive and the interface is clean, which makes it easy to jump into a patrol even if you only have a few minutes to play. At the same time, there’s enough depth in the mechanics to keep things interesting over many patrols. Convoy attacks, night surface engagements, and trying to evade determined escorts keep every mission engaging.
Another highlight is how well the game captures the atmosphere of submarine warfare. The sound design, sonar pings, and the sudden shock of nearby explosions really add to the immersion.
As someone who served aboard submarines, I find myself coming back to this game often. It’s simply fun. If you enjoy naval history, submarine tactics, or just a good strategy game, Crash Dive 2 is well worth your time.

Recent updates
Game has always been fun. With latest updates the game has become even better.
Fantastic
This is far more depth, pun intended, then you would expect for a mobile game. Everything from crew management to torpedo aiming and evasion, damage control, etc. with customization based upon how involved you want to be or how casually you want to play. Honestly it’s probably the most fantastic Sub game. I think I’ve played on a mobile device with single engagements or full campaigns and various levels of difficulty and realism. Fantastic

Great game!!
Great authentic sub simulator game, reminds me very much of old pc game called silent service. Game ai performs well enough to keep gameplay challenging and fun. I added an expansion pack I’m liking the game so well!Panic Ensues makes great games that don’t require you to be online yet are still engaging and fun in my opinion. I highly recommend this game to anyone that has to be in places with no signal, makes a great boredom killer for sure!! I have every game they offer on both my devices. Do the tutorial that has a check list and check off each topic before you play and you will be able to fully understand and play. Learn the time compression and fast travel functions and the game play won’t get boring on you. It’s as authentic a ww2 sub simulator you’re going to find I think!

Great game!
Great game , reminds me of an old pc game I used to love and is the best sub simulator I have found for mobile. Now that you have made this game, you should consider making one just like it from the German perspective where players command German u-boats trying to sink allied shipping. I would buy that game as well. Unless you could do it as an expansion pack to this game or something. Either way I would buy that.

Well done, best sub warfare game I’ve found
Well done, best sub warfare game I’ve found
Great sub game, great developer
I love this game. Everything is just as you would want it, the interface is so well designed, the sound and everything is great. Not only that, I had a question about the sub detection and the developer got back to me the same day. The mod section allow you to turn off the enemy cheats which is used for game balancing.
