Silent Hunter II is a World War II U-boat combat simulation from Ubisoft for Windows 95/98/ME.
The game offers single-player and multiplayer missions.
In addition to some separate single-player missions, they also come as a string in the theme of "U-boat highlights", allowing the player to re-experience such well-known adventures as sinking the HMS Avenger as U-155, retrieving the war diary from the Bismarck and Operation Drumbeat against American shipping.
German World War II veteran and sub commander Erich Topp was one of the game's technical advisers, and a series of interviews with him appears in the game.
Silent Hunter II was developed with multi-player support as a notable feature. Players were able to connect with other Silent Hunter II players, and engage in sub vs. sub combat; also, connectivity to the separate game Destroyer Command (also released by Ubisoft) was available, which enabled sub and surface ship combat.
Silent Hunter II received "average" reviews according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.
