Submarine game with realistic player communication
76In a co-op game like Wolfpack, communication is critical to success.
Being that a real U-boat is noisy and often chaotic, plus the players
can be stationed in different compartments far apart, there should
not be a clear ability to speak and hear each other at all times.
To accommodate this level of realism, the devs created an option
called "Realistic voice attenuation". With this option selected,
the players will not have a god-voice where everyone can hear
each other flawlessly. Instead, players can speak and hear each
other when they are in the same compartment, or if they are in
adjoining compartments.
If the players are apart, they can communicate by relaying the
commands, or by using the inter-compartment phones, or by
using the voice tubes. The voice tubes connect the bridge to
the control room, and the conning tower to the forward and
aft torpedo rooms.
If one player leaves the control room
and makes his way to the engine room, he will not hear any
discussion or commands from the players in the control room.
We feel this feature will add a significant level of tension and
realism to Wolfpack. Good hunting! -- Onkel Neal

Wolfpack is a realistic, first person, co-op U-boat game where one or multiple crews of players man the stations of a highly detailed German type VII U-boat during the Second World War. The crew will encounter large randomized convoys of merchants escorted by destroyers, sloops, and corvettes. Their objective is to intercept and sink enemy ships and escape undetected.
Each player mans a station in the U-boat, and the crew will need to cooperate in order to succeed in their mission. Unlike other submarine simulators, Wolfpack is designed for players to procedurally manage the submarine through direct, manual interaction with valves, levers, and instruments.
Each U-boat has up to five players: The captain, the helmsman, the dive officer, the radio man, and the navigator.
The radio man operates the hydrophone, radio, radio direction finder, and Enigma machine. The helmsman controls the U-boats heading and speed, and operates the torpedo data computer. The dive officer controls the depth using the dive planes, ballast and negative tanks and serves as a lookout and gunner for the deck gun and anti aircraft gun. The navigator calculates the position of the u-boat, and determines the best route to intercept enemy convoys. The captain is the commander of the U-boat, and leads the crew.
Wolfpack also features a single player mode where one captain can easily manage his U-boat solo. Plus, it is easy to start a mission solo and allow other players to join the battle in their own subs as part of a wolfpack. The captains can use the U-boat radio to communicate with each other just like the real U-boats did.
