Danger from the Deep

Danger from the Deep (known as dangerdeep or DftD) is a World War II German tactical submarine simulator. The game is focused on being as technically and historically authentic, to try to recreate the battle of the Atlantic as realistically as possible.

The mission puts you in command of a U­Boat in the North Atlantic theatre with an objective to stalk and hunt Allied merchant vessels. You can choose between various submarine types and engage convoys and escorts of varying sizes at different times of the day.
