I have Dangerous Waters (DW) and it allows you to enter the roles onboard a ship, submarine, ASW helo or P-3 Orion. A lot of the sensors are included, and I am impressed by how many of the sensors are simulated and how close to reality they have simulated them (well… to my limited impression of how they work in the real life that is)…

humm yes iv heard of that game its more of a individual ship control game i think.

Dangerous waters is made by the same crew who made fleet command.
It is more focussed on individual platform command rather than overall fleet or theatre command. Think of it as an individual ship simulator instead of a strategy game. It has an active modding community AFAIK.
Sadly, with the cancellation of Harpoon IV there just isnt a game of the scope of Fleet command made since. If you want a less graphically attractive, but more accurate game of the same kind, you’d do no wrong in looking at one of the iterations of Harpoon. It has been kept up to date with new platforms etc.

I used to play that aswell. People on a brasilian military blog I go to often talk about about a thing called “Dangerous Waters” but I never gave it a chance. It looks very similar for the screen caps I was able to see…
