Cold Waters is, for lack of a better term, an action sim (though it leans a little to sim than it does action) in the style of 1988 Microprose classic Red Storm Rising, which was based off the Tom Clancy novel of the same name. Unless you are a genetic marvel like Lynne Cox (who swam to Antarctica without a wetsuit), you probably do not enjoy swimming in cold water, let alone doing so for a long period of time. However, there are some situations where you may need to swim in cold water.Cold Waters is shaping up to be a fantastic game, but not all of its mechanisms are very well explained. In this guide I hope to add guides about many of the mechanics of this game, as well as general tips to help you improve your gameplay. Hope it’s useful!
Tips for New Players
1) Submarines tend to have more tubes than they have torpedos. This is mentioned no-where in the game, but you can find it in the files of the game at Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonCold WatersColdWaters_DataStreamingAssetsdefaultvessels and then clicking on one of the files starting with ’usn_ssn’. There you will find a part called ’weapon systems’ and a line saying ’NumberOfWires=X’. Let’s say this is 2 (NumberOfWires=2). This means that even if you have 4 wired torpedo’s, if you fire all of these at once, only the first two will be wired. If you want another one to be wired, you can cut the wire of the first or second one with shift-4 and then fire the other one.
Here’s a list showing how many each submarine has:
*Name: 1984 / 1968
*
*Los Angeles: 4 / -
*Narwhal: 2 / -
*Permit: 2 / 2
*Skipjack: 1 / 1
*Sturgeon: 2 / 2
2)Cold Waters Update Cavitation depends on depth. I’ll be making a detailed video on why cavitation happens, but basically it means that you are making bubbles behind your submarine, and this depends on both speed and depth. The in-game formula for this is ’Cavitation depth = 20 * SpeedInKnots - 100’. What this means is that for every 5 knots of extra speed, cavitation happens 100 feet earlier. This formula is currently the same for all submarines, but might change in the future, either due to the devs changing it or people modding it to more accurately reflect actual numbers.
3) If you’re like me and you don’t know all the different types of boats and what names they had, it can be hard to know what you are targeting if you don’t have visual on it. However, if you have a target identified with a certain name, if you then go to the ’conditions’ tab, you will see a small icon of your opponent. This can either be a warship, a submarine or a merchant. Bio (whales) do not have their own icon (yet?), but show up as an underwater warship. If you look at the signature, you can also see that some of these do not have access to passive or active sonar, which means that these will not be able to spot you as easily as the enemies that do have access to this.
4) Difficulty settings in this game do not affect the ai, but do affect a whole range of other things. See the picture below for the parameters it affects.
If you have troubles getting your bearings in this game, you can also go to options and deselect ’Hide low SOL contacts in 3d’. This means that even if you just identified a contact (and haven’t found a solution to their position yet), you can actually see them in-game. This is kind of cheating, but if you’re still struggling with the controls and how to play the game, it could potentially prevent some frustration.
5)Cold Waters By Debbie Herbert When you play the game, you can move the sub by left or right clicking. This has a big effect on encounters. If you start an encounter when you didn’t move (so the enemy attacked you), your initial depth is shallow and speed is 5knots. If you were going on patrol speed (right click in my game at least), you will be deeper and going at ~10 knots. If you are going at flank speed (left click in my game), you will start very deep and going at ~25 knots. This can have a large effect on whether enemies can find you at the beginning of the encounter, so it might be good to be careful.

Cold Waters is a game that is trying to tread a fine line. Super seducer 2 advanced seduction tactics pc. Whilst it stumbles in some places, for the most part it’s a game that succeeds in what it sets out to do -- even if the end result isn’t what some were expecting. You may know Killerfish Games from their last title Atlantic Fleet, a nice little turn based WW2 naval combat game. This time around, they’ve jumped forwards a few decades to the Cold War, or at least an alternate version of the Cold War where the US and the USSR got tired of simply eyeing each up from either side of the Fulda Gap and decided a good ol’ fashion conventional war was the only way to solve things.
Unlike Killerfish Games’ last foray, Cold Waters places you in command of only one vessel at a time. Specifically, a US Navy nuclear submarine of your choosing. The action is all played out in real time and you’ll be controlling your sub in third person throughout the entire duration. Unlike Silent Hunter, Sub Command or Dangerous Waters, individual stations (sonar, weapons control, conn and so on) are not simulated on screen. On the one hand, this cuts downs on the constant screen switching that often occurs in subsims but it also makes the game a lot less immersive. It’s here where one of Cold Waters make or break points lies in wait for it’s target audience: Killerfish Games haven’t made a hardcore subsim for die-hard fans of the genre nor were they ever intending to. Cold Waters is, for lack of a better term, an action sim (though it leans a little to sim than it does action) in the style of 1988 Microprose classic Red Storm Rising, which was based off the Tom Clancy novel of the same name.
Content-wise, you have two dynamic campaigns, some single missions and a group of tutorial missions that help explain the mechanics. Like most subsims, the tutorials only go so far explaining the game’s ins and outs, but luckily Cold Waters’ manual is available in game and it answered most questions I had. Whilst the single missions are a fun distraction, the real heart of the game lie in the campaign(s). You have the choice of beginning a career in alternate versions of both 1984 and 1968. Upon making your choice newspaper reports and World in Conflict style artwork will give you a rundown of how and why the world’s two biggest superpowers are now at war. Both campaigns take place in the same stretch of water, the North Atlantic, and are fairly similar. The key difference is that in the 1968 start you have less subs to choose from and due to the earlier time period sensors and engagement ranges are reduced, making it the harder of the two campaigns. After picking a sub and loading it up you’ll be given your first mission.
The campaign map gains points from me based on its simplistic visuals that easily convey information, but it loses a few of those points due to how you move around. You just click and drag your cursor in the direction you want your sub to move. It often feel a little unresponsive and maneuvering around land masses or through straits can be unnecessarily fiddly.
Once combat is initiated Cold Waters shows its depth. Whilst things like sonar haven’t been modelled to meticulous accuracy they serve well enough to be convincing. Players will have to keep an eye on things like thermal layers will obscure surface and submerged vessels from each other at a certain depth along with employing their subs various sensors to their full potential whilst also being aware of their drawbacks. For instance in one of my first mission I successfully located an enemy Victor class sub using active sonar and sank it with a wire guided torpedo. I’d forgotten though that active sonar has a shorter range than passive but can be detected from some distance away. I then had the joyful task of dodging two torpedoes before locating and sinking the November class sub that had fired them.
Torpedos and their modelling have to be one of Cold Waters’ high points and you have to be careful about not diving or turning to fast if don’t want to break their wires. For anyone reading who isn’t up on their sub knowledge wire guided torpedoes let you control them after they reach a certain preset waypoint. Torpedos can be fooled by noisemakers and smart piloting however. My proudest moment so far is when I managed to lure torpedo back towards the sub that fired before kicking off the engines to go silent and watching it sink its owner. Weapons as a whole are easy to use but take time to master. I have to say though that a few little tooltips explaining them in-game wouldn’t hurt. And would also stop me trying to use a TLAM on a Kanin DDG again.
Missions come in all shapes and sizes from hunter other subs, to inserting spec ops teams, to preying upon landing forces. For the most part their well balanced and I’ve yet to run into any that felt impossible or unreasonably difficult. That’s not to say you won’t be visiting Davy Jones a fair amount of times. Death will arrive swiftly and suddenly. I met most of fates at the hands of sub hunting surface groups.
Whilst in tactical combat you control your sub’s rudder, ballast, diving plans and speed manually and this leads to a bit of a double edged sword. During the delightfully intense moments when you’re conducting evasive maneuvers to outrun and outsmart torpedos it works quite effectively so long as you don’t get yourself turned around. However when you’re just trying to move into position or if you’re trying to do something else at the same time the controls become a little more cumbersome. I would’ve prefered two control modes one (like the current one) for evasive maneuvers and a second where you can simply set heading and depth like in Silent Hunter.
Cold Waters is a pretty enough game to look at though it does have its rough edges. Explosion can often look a little flat and lackluster for instance. For anyone running with an older or weaker machine though you’re in luck as Cold Waters runs on damn near anything. And due to the control scheme and general UI layout it can be played with touchpad and keyboard too, for anyone planning on playing it on the go (though it is a bit easier with a mouse).
At the end of the day, Cold Waters is a game I can’t help but enjoy. It definitely has it’s faults and some die-hards might be turned off by how simple it appears on the surface but like Atlantic Fleet the complexity hidden below provides a surprising amount of staying power. Due to how easy it is to dive into I would recommend it to anyone looking for gentler entry into the sub-sim genre and I would recommend to most people who are already fond of the genre to at least give it a try before writing it off.Available on:CommentsRelated Posts from WargamerUBoat’s attempt to be a more personable Cold Waters is admirable, but there’s still work to do28 May 20190Review: Command: The Silent Service13 Mar 20180Cold Waters HackFirst Look - Wolfpack24 Nov 20162FeaturedCold Waters Epic ModThe Wargamer’s Wife: Holiday Gift List 202008 Dec 20203Distant Worlds 2 enters beta in January 202104 Dec 20200World of Tanks Daily Deals - Advent Calendar 202011 Dec 20200Thirty years later, Blood Bowl gets a true ’Second Season’ - and it’s top-notch30 Nov 20200The Best War Board Games28 Oct 20201Upcoming War Board & Miniature Games 202030 Jul 20206Upcoming Wargames 202007 Dec 202014Top ArticlesThe Best WW2 War & Strategy Games03 Nov 202033The Best Naval War Games30 Nov 202026
