The Hunted: Twilight of the U-Boats, 1943-45

Players command individual WWII U-boats on tactical patrols against Allied convoys and capital ships during 1943–45. Gameplay simulates torpedo attacks, positioning, and resource management as crews attempt to sink merchant and warships while avoiding escorts, air patrols, and depth-charge counterattacks. Missions proceed through multiple patrols; boats may start as different models and can sometimes be reassigned to newer types, but most crews stay in the same vessel until it is sunk or they survive to the end of the tour. The game emphasizes risk management and survival as much as tonnage destroyed, with high difficulty in completing a full tour.
