24:22 No, that was not an impact on the target but a premature explosion due to the magnetic fuse. They were not really tested in all the magnetic environments on Earth, and worse, early WWII was an intense sunspot time, with a lot of fun regarding magnetics … The first U-Boat sunk in the war was sunk due to premature torpedo explosions that were shot at an aircraft carrier.

[@alfascav1754]

"The first U-Boat sunk in the war was sunk due to premature torpedo explosions" The first U-boat sunk in the war was detected due to premature torpedo explosions, it wasn't sunk because of them. It was Damaged with depth charges, and then the crew captured as it surfaced while taking on water.

I think you will find that staying not detected is the whole stick of a submarine - they could do away with all these batteries and electric engines and stuff, just cram in more fuel and stronger engines, and you have an upsized E-Boat that can cross the Atlantic and has a lot more torpedoes. And a top speed of 35-40 knots … But they would give up stealth. And die like flies.

2 "duds" towards a carrier would have certainly impacted morale. It's not every day a sub gets that opportunity. I was worried you were going to have used the last 2 before seeing the carrier, but what actually happened was even worse ;). You really need the bigger sub.

[@Wolfpack345]

Good to know

[@ltribley]

Tip to sinking ships more efficiently with deck armament: When you try to sink a freighter by a deck or anti-aircraft gun, target the stern toward the propeller, under the waterline as it is exposed by the waves. It will sink faster with less loss of munitions.

[@sharkman2857]

U-Boat uses a HP system for enemy vessels, I believe. Fairly unrealistic in that respect. You're likely thinking of Silent Hunter, where much more is simulated.

[@n00binatorCZ]

@@sharkman2857 hitting a ship in more then one location sinks it faster, hitting 2 eels in one place does not increase damage, so while there doesnt seem to be "systems damage", there atleast are sections

[@DreadX10]

*shell casings 20mm HE shells bouncing on deck is not as fun .... Although, we had a stuck shell 20 mm HEI in our Oerlikon. We stowed the barrel with the shell in it on deck so that EOD could dispose of it in port. While talking to the EOD tech, how to get the shell out and contemplating having to say goodbye to the barrel as well, I lifted up the barrel and the shell fell out onto the deck. The [British] EOD tech said "Job well done", took the small shell and was off.... Chuckles all around.

He is on automatic HQ research so he has to wait for the realistic historical dates for research to be available.

[@saureco]

1. You can sink ships with your deck guns faster if you hit at or below the waterline of the hull. 2. Magnetic pistols are intended to hit ships when striking at non-perpendicular angles, but they are very faulty. Simply get better at taking shots that will hit with impact pistols perpendicular to the target. 3. Be mindful of your crew's shifts if you want them at their best, especially if you want them all on shift to hit at night. Run the gyrocompass during the day, then turn it off while one of your officers does navigation at night. To close the gap of officer fatigue, use coffee. I often keep 12+ coffee on every mission. 4. If it's a big convoy, I try to reserve my torpedoes for the escorts, and once they're dead I use my deck guns on the largely defenseless merchant ships. Be sure to keep extra ammo in your ship storage.

I think the officers not providing an echosounder reading is a bug. The workaround that's worked for me is to click in the empty space somewhere to deselect any officer, then click the sidebar commands option for an echosounder reading. One of your noncom sailors will then perform the reading and call it out. My skipper has NEVER called out the reading, nor any officer currently working the hydrophones; it's only ever called out by the non-commissioned sailors in my games.

[@OzoneGrif]

There's a reason they never used magnetic triggers during WWII : because they were incredibly unreliable.

[@JustPeasant]

"Let's roleplay and say they were faulty eels." My thoughts exactly. Still a fresh game (as a full release). The game itself and the mods need some ironing out. That ship at the beginning looked very run down. Almost like a corpse.

[@jeffreyestahl]

I was going to say it was disappointing, but the KM was still experiencing some issues with magnetic pistols even in 1941-1942. Hopefully (assuming it was actually a defect and not simply a statistical result), it gets fixed soon enough.

[@radguy72]

I'd enjoy seeing some mods with new Uboats and other ships

[@Zadlo14]

Im not shocked about the torpedos. Even with being warmed up, the P1s are susceptible to premature detonation.

That unusual little Type II sub was more entertaining than it seemed at first glance, and quite a breath of fresh air Hoping the next series will be with another seldom-featured sub!

[@General_Dane]

The reason I think those torps fired prematurely is because the earth’s magnetic field is different in different places, and since torps were usually tested with live ammunition in one place (American Marc 14 in zero places), they didn’t really catch that. There is a story from both the second and third battle of Trondheim, where German torps exploded prematurely. In the third battle, if the torps had detonated where they were expected to, HMS Warspite would likely have been sunk.

Cant wait to see a new Uboat! Maybe mention to the devs how grindy it is to acquire one? Im honestly surprised you never obtained one with all your hr's sunk in (pun intended) sad your unable to sink the carrier, definitely would been the cherry on top to end the series.

[@tewsgcdcfgechk908]

In situations like with the carrier i tend to go at least 1 impact pistol with every magnetic pistol strike. So for 2 torpedos it will be 1 impact, 1 magnetic. Its just my way of somehow balancing the risk magnetic pistols bring, especially in northern waters.

[@_Skitter]

Seeing the early detonations was heartbreaking. My immediate thought was the magnetic pistols being too sensitive and being faced with like 10 times the metal? Having one as an impact fuse would have been my go-to

I havent even tried this game yet but if it is similar than Silent Hunter 3, my recommendation for a torpedo attack during rough seas and/or fierce storm is to set torpedoes to run shallow and detonate on impact.

If you use the H.sie fixes in Sh3, you don't want to set torpedoes at shallow depths in rough seas.

"Two torpedoes...is that going to be enough?" Yes, it will...the Ark Royal herself was mortally wounded by a single torpedo. But WHY did you not use IMPACT exploders?!?! God, that was a dumb move to go magnetic!

[@cl13amongus]

if only you were onboard so you could give your excellent guidance

[@jeffreyestahl]

Actually, the result against the historical Ark Royal was a fluke and the result of using magnetic pistols. When taking on large ships, it was always recommended that mags be used so the detonation occurred underneath the ship, vastly increasing the probability of sinking.

I was only firing two torpedoes at a large target, I wanted the torpedos to explode under the keel of the target, causing more damage.

The current balance for a zero to hero run in this game is broken. If I’m going out and sinking 50k tons of merchant shipping in a single patrol in a type II A or D, there’s no way I’m not getting put in a VII. Especially considering the IIA never officially saw combat and sank one ship in a fluke of luck. I did find a workaround, you can edit the game parameter spreadsheets, including the campaign rewards. So I added a blueprint to one of the campaigns. Since there’s no way to achieve alternate promotion, and it takes an unreasonable amount of time to get out of the Type IIs, since you can’t skip the D and go to the VII, I feel like it’s a better workaround. Only other method I saw was to use console commands which disables achievements. My method doesn’t disable them

[@RonJeremy514]

Yes the early game is harsh for not giving a blueprint so easily. But going to the Mediterranean grants one easily. Black Pit too I believe, not sure Happy Times and Norway escort campaign. but later on you get more than enough blueprints to the point that you have surplus of it (I guess it will make more sense when the Type IX is released).
