    Destroyer: The U-Boat Hunter - Supporter Pack
    Description
    Destroyer: The U-Boat Hunter is an innovative, cross-genre destroyer simulation which truthfully depicts the struggle of escort groups protecting allied convoys against German U-boats during the Battle of the Atlantic. Take full control of a Fletcher-class destroyer, using authentic instruments and attack procedures to fully experience the full spectrum of anti-submarine warfare.

    Destroyer combines the thrill of commanding an anti-submarine warship with the tactical challenge of managing a whole escort group protecting convoys against relentless wolfpacks. The game goes to great lengths to appeal to fans of realism and immersion, at the same time offering a great experience for beginners in the genre as well. 

    Whether a military sim veteran or a fledgling captain, immerse yourself in a cinematic naval warfare experience and feel the thrill of the hunt!

     

    Key game features include:

    • Procedural battle generation with randomized weather, time of day, and enemy attack patterns, allowing for a virtually infinite number of battle scenarios.
    • A detailed Fletcher-class destroyer model with 5 locations meticulously recreated in state-of-the art 3D: the bridge, the combat information center, the sonar room, the gun director, and the lookouts’ station.
    • Over 300 voice reports recorded by professional voice actors, navy school cadets and US Navy experts for unparalleled immersion and situational awareness.
    • A total of 10 different battle stations covering the most essential duties of the anti-submarine attack team, each complete with its key instruments and gear to give you the edge over the enemy.
    • 4 different convoy battle configurations (small, medium, large, and custom).
    • A dark, thematic soundtrack comprising 4 multi-layered pieces that dynamically adjust to the level of tension between you and the enemy.
    • Varied U-boat captain profiles: aggressive, sneaky, patient, or cold professional - each of them with an ace up their sleeve.

    Hunting Nazi subs is great!

    If you want to know what it was like to hunt Nazi subs in WWII, this is the game. Not an easy task. Note it looks like the Linux installer is out of date at version 1.0.3 while Windows enjoys 1.0.9. Hopefully this will get fixed. Note it runs with Glorious Eggroll just fine, but I would rather have a good Linux installer.

    It is so fresh!

    I haven't played Destroyer Command, a standalone addon to Silen Hunter 2 because it seemed so complicated at a time. I am so glad that, after watching Wolfpack345 streams, I gave a chance to this game. The game is highly customizable and at the same time it is not babysitting you. You can left management of multiple tools to your crew and focus on commanding the ship. And it is great, gosh, so great! It is still demanding, but there is no need for micromanagement, you can be the captain, not some omnipotent deity, I really, really recommend the title to anyone interested with naval combat or simulators. I also recommend reading "Cruel sea" for immersion :)

    For spare time

    Unfortunately I cannot recommend Destroyer: The UFO Hunter. I've completed it all in 50 hours and I don't want to play again. The graphics and the ambient is nice. The BSO is very well done, and it support dynamic music. However is always the same tune. The idea of escorting a WWII convoy is the reason I purchased this game again in GOG... Major problems: - The interface is very bad. You will be switching frenetically between screens which aren't well organized. I would join SONAR and COMBAT tabs in just one. It's annoying how TRR subscreen dissapear just when you need to DC. - Poor shortkeys. It lacks a lot of shorcuts, like rudder full left/right/centre or release depth charges. - Voice acting will saturate you soon with unuseful information. However, you won't get target depth/noise information as frecuent as you need. And there is no way to force him to tell you. You will need to use the TRR in automatic. - Uboots are like UFOs. Uboots make impossible turns from time to time. Also they are faster in surface than most of ships, I think they reach 35-40knots while surfaced (in real life it was 18 knots). But your Flower class ships, which should have around 17-18knots, however they max speeds seems around 8 knots. - UBoots always go full and noisy speed underwater and you don't have an hydrophone for fast location! - The AI of the escorts and merchant is quite poor. Do not thrust them! These bad things are minor: - The general campaign is a little boring with the same acting once and again. The animations are creepy - The explosion sound of the merchant is very ugly - I finished the 8th campaign mission with the scores S, A, S, B, and my final score for the mission was.... C??? - Pretty unrealistic to find too many suicidal uboots About stability. It crashed me two times.

    Having Lots of fun

    So far I'm having lots of fun with this. You can set the difficulty which is nice especially starting out. The only 2 things I have negative to say is that the tutorial regarding sub targeting could be a bit better. I would go more into using the DRT to line up your shot more before you get too close to the target. Also, I would have loved to voice act this. The voice acting is not very good, and with as much of it as there is, I find myself skipping it quite a bit. Other than those 2 minor issues, I this this game is addicting and defnitely worth a try
