Warships / Submarines
Military ship or submarine simulators give the player the opportunity to become the captain of a surface or underwater vessel. Besides issuing orders, the player engages in other forms of management. Most often, missions are based on real events or rumors. Such a simulator allows the player to experience the full complexity of modern naval combat. Additionally, controlling a submarine or a warship can be part of some game, for example, a military shooter.
