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.
