Silent Shark
Tactical map-based Pacific WWII submarine simulator

Silent Shark is a tactical WWII submarine simulator focused on realistic map-based gameplay involving bearings, geometry, and command decisions. Players track enemy ships by hydrophone, manually classify targets, solve firing solutions using authentic instruments like stadimeters, and manage torpedo attacks. A free browser-based alpha is available, with a full version planned that includes a Pacific War campaign, progression, and multi-platform support.
Players use real WWII submarine methods — hydrophone bearings, stadimeter rangefinding, manual targeting geometry — to track, intercept, and attack enemy ships in a tactical map-based interface.
