Can i play solo?

Is the "Bots to replace absent players" future feature a true thing? That´s the only way i see buying/playing this game. The main reason is that after the initial hype, the comunity of this kind of games/simulators tends to zero players online. Sorry to say it, but that´s the reality. Thanks!

A: It is possible to launch the game alone. It is not impossible for a single player to man the U-boat at this point, but it is definitely not optimal since it requires a lot of running between the different stations.

We have decided to put rudimentary bots at #1 on the To Do List since this feature gets requested reccurently. However, Wolfpack is designed for co-op, and we hope you give the multiplayer aspect a chance. Our Discord Server is full of friendly and very devoted people, so don't hesitate to join it.

Same here. I wanna be able to play solo, being "out there" at the sea for weeks without having to care about online-connection, server-status and the good-will of other people.

bots yes please, otherwise like others echo the game then is just going to be a for a few people who have the time to play for for extended hours at a time, and not like for the most of us who have to juggle family, work and differing time zones
either bots or just a means to have universal control of everything from maps and UIs would be fine too

Sub sims these days are such a niche, I just can't see this game surviving as a multi-player game only. I would love to play this with my dad, but if we can't play it solo-offline as well, then there is absolutely no point.

After attempting a few Solo plays.. I noticed so far..the only thing needed to "me" is a key command to lock that darn dive bubble before walking away..:) it seems to be the hardest part for me in single solo player.. I set it.. I go checkout the Hydrophone and before I return my boat is on the top of the sea for all to see.. if it would just hold fast with some key command, as if someone was there holding it..I could run around the rest of the boat and do what is needed.. maybe the same for the rudder..just some lock to setting key command.. I understand the reasoning they drift for "realistic" immersion and if crewed it keeps everyone busy. but not everyone plays well with others..:) Other than that..I know it is Early Access and I really enjoy what is available so far.. keep polishing this Diamond!!

Nothing "wrong" with having a normal and realistic setting in a game..

Unfortunately, MP, CooP is 80% unplayable. UNFORTUNATELY.
(When I have time, the rest of the crew sleeps and vice versa)

And a random crew? No thanks.
As you can see in many games BOTS are often better. Dependable ;)
A random Crew can not exist as functional TEAM.

CooP is a good idea.
But only for kids and people without work, family :/

The SIMULATION itself is TOP !!
Wanted for a long time. (still missing a tank simulation)

Missing the German language. So that the atmosphere is right ;)

Yeah it's solo play for me too. I will keep an eye on this game though.

Check out "Armored Front" here on steam or "Tank Crew - Clash of podaghorsk" (or whatever that is spelled).

That's a good description of what a single player option with a dash for dive, helm, and some basic sonar info would do for the game.

Seems all the cool games these days are MMO. Once single player is viable then I'll buy. If there is one thing I hate about PC gaming in the 21st century .... it's MMOs.

You can play solo with some practice. I got three merchants yesterday by myself. I was running in 1939 and there are no escorts though. I haven't tried with them yet.

As far as your sub rising. Keep about 1/2 a notch of water in the negative tank. Better to have a little too much than not enough so you will slowly sink rather than surface. Best way to test your fine buoyancy is to come to a complete stop and adjust your negative tank. It's 1/4 to 1/2 a notch of water in the negative tank with both forward and aft tanks full.
If you want to have more control to ascend more rapidly using the negative tank to control your ascent and descent, put about one notch of air in the fore and aft main ballast tanks. Then you put about 1.65 of water in the negative tank. This gives you more room to let more air in the negative tank to rise faster when at a complete stop and not using dive planes.
