- Nope!
- It definately didn't get any harder or more realistic. The old one is still
- enough - I think. The only real new items are:
- - you can choose your sub yourself now
- - you can play a campaign with several patrols in it throughout the war
- (and see the tonnage that you would have sank in a whole war rather
- than only seeing, what you could have done on a single patrol).
-
- Sounds/Graphics got better than the SS-I, but on the other hand the "enemy
- intelligence" became by far worse than in SS-I.
- (For example: Scenario "Cavalla" tried
- 10 times tried in SS-I -> 1 time victorious
- 10 times tried in SS-II -> 7 times victorious)
-
- So - save your money for another purpose than buying SS-II!
