Silent Hunter Online is the latest game in the Silent Hunter series of games. It is being developed by Ubisoft. The game entered closed beta in the United States in September, 2013. It never left the beta phase and was subsequently shutdown in October 2016. The game will be a free-to-play. Silent Hunter Online (SHO) sees the return of the lovingly and painstakingly recreated array of historically accurate submarines that brought fame to the franchise, and invites players to command them online in new ways.At the heart of the game is “the Battle of the Atlantic”, an innovative and dynamic strategy campaign in which individual successes impact all other players through.
Due to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), we are under heavy load of retrogamers wanting to travel back to those old and safe times. Please choose thoroughly every game you download and share the bandwidth with everyone.

Description of Silent Hunter
Silent Hunter is a classic WWII submarine simulation that today remains one of the few titles that could give Dynamix' Aces of The Deep a run for its money.
Before the game's release, the best sub simulation that deals with Pacific theater in WWII was MicroProse's aging Silent Service II. Silent Hunter ups the ante in submarine simulations with great SVGA graphics, strong realism, and excellent gameplay.
As with AOTD, the heart and soul of Silent Hunter is the career mode. If you start your career early in the war, you will be assigned a S-Class sub with limited torpedoes, speed and depth. Surviving a few patrols in this submarine is a real challenge. If you do survive, you will be assigned new subs and equipment as they become available. If you are very lucky, you can play through to the end of the war, an unrealistic, but appreciated option.
If a career doesn't appeal to you, Silent Hunter allows you to generate your own missions. The mission generator lets you set the date, time, crew quality, convoy size, warship type, escort size, air cover, and weather. You can also set various realism levels such as limited fuel, battery life, ammo, visibility, and depth data, as well as dud torpedoes, realistic torpedo reloads, ship vulnerability, running aground, realistic charts and combat experience level. The variations here are enough to give the game almost limitless replayability. The mission generator is also very useful for setting up practice scenarios to develop the skills necessary to survive a career.
With outstanding SVGA graphics (although with arguably less realistic weather effects than AOTD), strong gameplay, and no compromise on realism, Silent Hunter is a must-have for every armchair naval commander. Two thumbs up!

Trying my best to achieve sound. Having a really hard time following those instructions.
Could we have a more detailed description or perhaps a video? Thank you.

For sound, I created a folder called INSTALL in de the root folder of the game. (Thanks ARNMAN for the tip!!)
I then created a .BAT file with following contents. I'm on Ubuntu:
mount d ./INSTALL -t cdrom
SH.EXE
If you're on Windows, it should probably be:
mount d .INSTALL -t cdrom
SH.EXE
Now it runs perfectly.

For sound
create an empty folder called 'INSTALL' that you can mount in DOSbox
then call
mount d INSTALL -t cdrom
Then run game
In Ubuntu I had to put the empty INSTALL folder in HOME

make another shortcut of your shortcut icon in the SH folder. and then move it to the DT.

I like it, except for the lack of sound and the inability to jettison debris. This was the first computer game I ever owned, it was put on by the friend who gave us the computer, and you could rig for red, jettison debris, and order the crew to man the AA guns. Perhaps someone could enlighten me there? I have not really done much with the other SH games, especially the ones where you are an Axis commander, I typically don't play where I fight America.

If you cant run the game its because you forgot to read http://www.myabandonware.com/howto/
simply extracting to your desktop will not magically create an icon and make a dos game run in windows.

The Silent Hunter series debuted in 1996 and immediately conquered the hearts of the fans of submarine simulators. During the fifteen years since then it received five full-fledged installments. The owner of the rights to the series, Ubisoft, decided that the title should be also released on internet browsers as a free-to-play game with microtransactions. Silent Hunter Online was developed by Ubisoft Blue Byte, a studio known for creating installments of The Settlers series, and by Sproing Interactive, the creators of the popular title Skyrama. PlotThe game takes place during the World War II.
The player assumes the role of a captain of a German submarine. He completes missions given to him by the virtual fleet command. He is tasked with impacting the outcome of the famous Battle of the Atlantic that took place in years 1939-1945.
MechanicsThe developers focused on staying faithful to the history. Ship models that appear in Silent Hunter Online for WWW, both submarines and the ones that sail on the surface, were recreated with much diligence. The developers also recreated ship’s military parameters (including armor, speed etc.). Similarly as in other Silent Hunter games, the most important gameplay mechanic of Silent Hunter Online is controlling the u-boot and managing its weapons. The player spends most of the time in the command center from where he observes various indicators and looks for enemy units via periscope.The game was designed for the MMO mode. Most of the missions are completed in cooperation with other players who together create the famous “wolf packs”. In addition to that, the individual successes and failures of each commander impact the overall situation on the battlefield and can influence all players in the game.
Technical aspectsThe visuals of Silent Hunter Online for WWW distinguish themselves among other browser games with high quality and effort put on details. The graphics engine generated 3D graphics by using the Adobe Flash Player 11 technology. A climatic soundtrack highlights the atmosphere of the battle on the sea as well.
