Take command of Depth Charge, an elite squad of submarine hunters. Use a variety of tools to discover the location of the hidden submarines and destroy them. HOW TO PLAY • This is a game of logic, arithmetic, estimation and triangulation. • Drop buoys in the ocean water • The buoys tell you how far they are from the submarine • Estimate how far that distance is from the buoy • Drag the measuring circle of each buoy to match the distance • The enemy submarine should be at the location where the measuring circles intersect • Fire a depth charge from your warship at that location • If you've estimated correctly the enemy attack submarine will sink • Find and eliminate all the submarines in the level CAMPAIGN The first level will familiarize you with the basics. After that there's an additional 39 levels for you to solve. Only the smartest will be able to get a three star score on all the levels. CHALLENGE MODE Play for a highscore on the Game Center Leaderboards. Should only be attempted by experienced players, that's why this mode only unlocks after completing level 15 of the campaign. Tools available to find and destroy submarines: • SONAR BUOY The standard tool for detecting submarines • RANGE BUOY Automatically places the measuring circle at the exact position No need to drag it manually • CAMERA BUOY Equipped with the U96 underwater camera. If the submarine is in viewing range it will show exactly where it is. • DEPTH CHARGE The standard submarine eliminating tool • TRIPLE CHARGE Three charges dropped in a triangular shape for maximum coverage, carpet bombing. • HOMING CHARGE When in range, always a direct hit!

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Gunship Operator 3D at 4.6 against Submarine Hunter Depth Charge's 3.4. Gunship Operator 3D also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (24K vs 14). Submarine Hunter Depth Charge's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gunship Operator 3D sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Submarine Hunter Depth Charge asks for nothing beyond the download.
Gunship Operator 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gunship Operator 3D has 24K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Submarine Hunter Depth Charge's written reviews are positive against 44% of Gunship Operator 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Submarine Hunter Depth Charge ships an update every 7 months, Gunship Operator 3D weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
