Don't forget the forthcoming Order of Battle: Kriegsmarine. While not a sim, neither are some of the other games mentioned. And OoB is turn-based so there's that (positive!).

hey guys, im very interested in naval history especially in world war 2 as well as the European navies. So, are their any games that are like Gary Grigsby's WITPAE's naval involvement?
Or is there a game being made by Gary Grigsby or being made in the style of Gary Grigsby that has a naval war at sea in the Atlantic?

The Witp AE engine could very well handle this. Convoys, escorts, raiders, BBs, CAs, armed merchants AMC. Air patrols (land or CVEs). And of course the submarines.

+ the daily turns + the intel. Everything is there (except the tactical part).

Yes. The WiTP:AE engine could be-seemingly-well adapted to something like this. I think the convoy system would have to be more clearly fleshed out and-perhaps-more flexible to player-derived actions. Either that or have tonnage goals and just give you the ships and let you do it as you see fit.

absolutely.... its called Atlantic Fleet... its a port of an Android game but man is it good... fantastic graphics..

check it out on Steam.. not expensive either.. very immersive

Got this from steam for $10 - great deal. It's a fairly simple game to start - choose ships, choose gun, select elevation then fire! But the graphics are very good, the ship models are fantastic. Very well researched with every ship available.
I am fully engrossed in the battles as there is no level repay in the Campaign (or else I'm too stupid to see it) so if you lose a precious ship its GONE [:(][:(]

And I cant begin to explain how gratifying it is to watch the enemy ship SLOOOOWLY sink with the underwater cam.

For $10 it's highly recommended.

It's a fun little game.
