@12:15 How to get ship speed without the periscope speed tool: Point your scope at the ship's bow and time how long it takes the entire ship to cross your stationary crosshair. Divide the number of seconds it took by the length of the ship. You can look up the ship's length in your ship identification book. Multiply that by 2, and that's your ship's speed. Do this while stationary (or moving directly towards the enemy ship's bow when you start the timer.)

I just started playing this game a few days ago and one thing still boggles me, even after watching a bunch of your videos, other videos, and general online searches.... After I launch torpedoes at one vessel, I cannot seem to switch to a different target, no matter what I try. Even after impact and the ship has sunk, I can't seem to click on a different ship (in map mode or viewing the periscope) to select a different target. It's created some rather precarious situations for me in what would've otherwise been a quick couple kills and slipping back beneath the waves. Instead, I've been forced to have to steer my sub in a way the firing arc seems to be roughly where I want it to and hope for the best. Very much not ideal.

Used a FAT last night for the first time and set it to turn left (as that made the most sense, given the direction of travel of the convoy). Weirdly enough, it then proceeded to turn right after its initial run. No idea if that was down to the crew interfering with my settings - although that has never been the case for me with any other torpedo settings. Kinda wish U-Boat had the same visual representation on the map screen of the FAT's run and search pattern that you got in, err.. SH III, IIRC.

On October 31, 1941, the USS Reuben James became the first US warship sunk by a UBoat. While this was five weeks before the attack on Pearl Harbor, for some reason, it did not affect the US entry into the war, and the US did not go to war against Germany until Adoft Hitler declared war on the US on Dec. 11, 1941.

IIA is miserable boat. I was able to get 50k tonnage but I sank almost all the ships by scuttling using the engineer perk. That and dynamite. The optics on the II boats has to be the worst in the world. I would like to see if there is an expert submariner who can document the difference with the II, VII, and IX optics because I feel like the type II has to be 50% or less of the other boats view range. Generally this makes sense because the boat was built in 1935 while the others were years later. Also the Type II was a treaty boat rather than the others being illegal for the time. I do love the handling, interior, and the sailing of the type II, just can't stand that its a blind rat in the sea. The IID isn't any better other than a very decent range. I did the weather station mission in the IID and was able to make it to Rochelle. I think if they let you upgrade the IID I would keep it through the entire war, but because they limit the upgrades its not viable, especially its horrible optics. I haven't seen the hull coating tech either that block sonar. Hope its in the game. Great live streams, enjoy them.

I selected Forward 5, then immediately went to periscope depth leaving the locks. Later went down to sit on the sea floor. Survived with only minor damage, but had to wait quite a while for the aircraft to clear out. You’ll be screwed if you stay on the surface. At one point you had nine leaks. 😂

The house looks suspiciously large for a mere sailor on a U-Boat. War ships can also potentially detect T2/electric torpedoes by hydrophone, as all torpedoes make high frequency sounds while travelling. Your own sonar operator for sure can hear them. But does the game actually react to it?

There are a lot of things wrong with this game, but if I could only have them fix one thing, it would be to make all time compressions available all the time. Don't make me go slow just because I'm near land or in shallow water. I fully accept the risks. It takes me two hours to complete a mission. Let me speed up the game at all times. And my second fix would be to stop pausing my time compression every time I hear a propeller. This is a nightmare when I'm trying to speed past a convoy at periscope depth and all 25 ships trigger a pause.
