Cold Waters: Dot Mod || 1984 NATO Campaign || Ep.4 - An Aggressive Enemy

[@DaystromDataConcepts]

I really appreciate the detailed commentary you give. I've los my sight , so you allow me to vicariously enjoy those sub games I can no longer play and used to enjoy so much. Thank you.

[@burtonporter8437]

I love putting these on while I’m driving and just listening to wolfpack. That’s excellent that you get enjoyment out of it.

[@Smitsva]

If you like the game called rimworld, I recommend checking out Pete complete. He is awesome to listen to and gives many details.

[@Hunterstiq]

Man that Victor III fight felt like it was straight out a movie. From the almost baited first torp launch, to the net of retaliation counter launches, those evasive maneuvers and finally ending with a Victor sunk. Absolutely epic, bet even some those salted veterans in Narwhal were a bit queasy after that one.

[@entropiated9020]

Are people REALLY asking why the game is easier in one of the most cutting edge submarines with dependable, wire guided torps (that can attack both submarine and surface targets) compared to what amounts to a copy of a German WW2 era diesel sub with sub par weaponry and sensors? Obvious answer is obvious. And every time I watch one of these I get the itch to go back into the North Atlantic myself. SSN-705 City of Corpus Christi sank over 1.2 million tons of Red Banner tonnage at one point.. may be time to get her out of mothballs.

[@Strykenine]

Leave some for the rest of us geez

[@NichoTBE]

I asked if he was playing on easy because nearly every fight I have in this mod is like the last one in this video and he hadn't had a fight like that up until this point. Most subs that detect me launch 3 or more torps, they often don't exactly know where you are but spam the area anyway. Its nice to see wolf put under a little pressure for once.

[@memyshelfandeye318]

Guiding in the torps in external 3D view helps a bit, too ... how boring.

[@tarkalak]

@@NichoTBE Even on hard it is relatively easy to hide away and launch from outside their detection range. You have good sensors and can detect them quite far away, you have wire guided extremely long range torpedoes and you are hard to detect.

[@ToreDL87]

City of Corpus 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Atesz222]

What I love about Echos, Foxtrots, Golfs and other subs like that is that you can clearly see how the Soviets were thinking. "Here's Type XXI. Is good. We need it for this and this and that purpose. Let's reshape it here, cut it there, perfect. We have our own modern Type XXI"

[@PatriPastry]

8:30 imagine being that nearby fishing trawler and all of a sudden not too far from your boat the ocean just detonates a little. Would probably be a terrifying experience, lmao

[@patrickwilkinson7351]

USS Narwhal is at 15 kills after roughly five days of being at war. At this rate, the Soviet Northern Fleet will be gone within six months, give or take.

[@hphp31416]

it is close to ww3 estimates, question was if European NATO could survive this long with disrupted shipping lanes across the Atlantic

[@Dimitris_Datseris]

@@hphp31416 in a scenario in which one lucky US submarine sinks 15 enemy submarines within five days by itself then I don’t think the supplies will be disrupted.

[@tefras14]

The AI actually did something! I am proud of them

[@StevenMRA]

Wow - great "recovery" after: Torp wire breaks, Torp goes dumb & circular, Stallions come hunting, and you pulled off a snapshot that took him down. Got a bit sporty there - but well done.

[@Skwiyhedd]

The way you snuck up on that Echo II and put a Mk48 in it's screws reminded me of a DCS video where someone was going up against an F-22 but they couldn't detect it at all only to then spot it on their cockpit mirrors flying in formation with them.

[@querpa]

that was on GrowlingSidewinder's channel, i believe!

[@Skwiyhedd]

@@querpa correct!

[@DDayJayke]

I laughed a bit when the briefing said Wolf had to find a pair of Kilos and when he launched a torp at the one Kilo, he was surprised to see the other Kilo pop up. Silly Wolf, sleeping at the briefing again, I see!

[@darrellhartanto4428]

The soviet stallion is easy to evade (once you destroy whoever launches that), it can only target submerged subs so you can just surface your sub and suddenly you are invincible to their sensors. This applies to Soviet Helicopter Torpedo too (AT-1 and other ASW torpedos). Just remember to destroy whoever did that first so they don't just launch other torpedoes that can target both surfaced and submerged sub. Love your content as always Wolfpack!

[@Firebolt193]

Wait, seriously?! Holy shit, thanks for the tip, I hate those damn things!

[@billmuller6133]

Yep also works for the mk 46 - the airdropped and the one fired by surface ships. Does feel a bit cheesy to me but it does work

[@NichoTBE]

haha cool, i didnt know that.

[@darrellhartanto4428]

Yeah, also applied to US side (mk 46 and airdrop ones)

[@marinewillis1202]

@@billmuller6133 Its not really cheesy considering that this game throws you into situations that are simply un-winable sometimes. Like my current game...I have a go after some boomers in the Barents. Problem is that I keep running into groups of 2 surface ships. No biggie right? Nope. Even at a dead stop in the campaign map, going silent right off the bat, they still fire within 8 seconds of the battle loading. I have tried everything I can think of and zip. I barely even have time to pick them up on sonar and they are launching everything they have. I wouldnt really mind if I had some distance but they keep starting me on top of them. There is literally nothing I can do but load the save I have at port and skip the mission.

[@JustPeasant]

"Look at this monstrosity..." My exact thought too, Wolfpack! :))) But man. I do really dig that Soviet/Russian, low profile sail(s) on their nuclear subs...

[@keithy4129]

Wolfpack, I buy these games, I suck at them. I watch your videos and I learn a lot from them, thank you!

[@NichoTBE]

Jive Turkey (channel "sub brief") is another good youtuber (ex sonar operator) for really good tips on this game.

[@keithy4129]

@@NichoTBE Thank You!

[@videomaniac108]

I always fire from the edge of the detection cone of the target's baffles, run the torpedo perpendicular to the target's course until the torpedo is just shy of emerging from the opposite edge of the cone and then march the torpedo in, staying within the cone until shortly before impact. This maximizes the angular spread between my sub and the counter fired torpedoes and minimizes my chance of being picked up by the torpedo's sonar.

[@franktozier3184]

Nice to see an aggressive AI.

[@VuldEdone]

Exciting fight. Given the rodeo I hope the crew had solid stomachs or I pity whoever will have to clean up the floors... and walls. But yeah, the enemy gave its all.

[@GrimZJako]

I'm excited to see Typhoon class Subs in the mod. Omg.. Can't wait to "See Red October" haha! Amazing series

[@stuartdollar9912]

Typhoons do appear in the base game, but only in the final mission of the 1984 Campaign. Sank one just the other night in my own game.

[@jasoncox3344]

I used to play the hell out of 688 Attack Sub on PC back in the early 90s, which ramped up even more after Hunt for Red October came out. It also almost pushed me over the line into joining the navy. I haven't thought about that in nearly 25 years, but now I have the overwhelming urge to get back into submarine sims. Thank you for the vids! I've really enjoyed them.

[@jasoncox3344]

@@Ferro_Equus LOL! Well thank you for your service in keeping our Navy's urinals pube-free.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

Damn, Wolfpack -- that was one helluva job you did there! Not only did you evade, what, 4 fish from the Victor, but you still got him after one of your own MK-48s went dumb and in a circle. Just saying, that was some damned fine hunting you did there, Captain!

[@aussiegrif8729]

Imagine being a submariner onboard Wolfpacks sub. Just getting thrown around, up and down like crazy. Guess it beats being dead but it would be one hell of a ride.

[@AlanTheBest97]

One tip for you is that the active sonar detection works like a sphere arround the subs and surface ships. Its productive to put as much vertical space between you and the enemy to avoid active sensors.

[@mikoajjozwik6912]

Holy moly! Outstanding evasions in the end, Commander! Those torpedoes didn't stand a chance! :D

[@TheClumsyFairy]

I have been following these Cold Water's adventures for a year plus, and I have dabbled myself, and after getting into playing myself I have a LOT of respect for these videos. How you play, and talk through it in relative calm is impressive. When I have a board full of torpedoes, and my knuckles don't form when I want them to, no WAY I could comentate it. I mean I don't think I could even form sentances, all I manage is a lot of non Hugh Chube friendly words squeaked out through gritted teeth. This last episode was a great one, good bit of everything. I was half expecting another sub to show up from nowhere just at the end. Time to go berate myself for spending hours watching someone play a game better than me, and make it look easy.

[@andrewwillard5625]

Oh yes loving this series it’s like waiting for the next episode of walking dead when it was actually good

[@johnmaurer9143]

A trawler is usually always shadowing a sub. They have better sonar capabilities and work in tandem with the subs.

[@Minong_Manitou_Mishepeshu]

Thought you unsub'd?

[@brandipeltier2105]

I agree with a lot of others as I can see in the comments that your candor and comments are amazing and really make these videos and series absolutely addictive. Personally I understand that missions do kinda make the decision on what happens but I would love to see a more even mix of sun warfare versus sun versus ship as well to really show off more variety in the battles. Just a personal opinion.

[@Skoomaddict]

damn close to 100k, you deserve it, keep making good content man.

[@ironmanfanman4001]

Rewatched the old Skipjack series and after doing some research realized you sank more November class submarines than the USSR ever built lol. They only ever payed down 14.

[@all_the_moga]

Nice episode! That Victor 3 gave you a run for your money!

[@HunterTeddy010]

It seems easy 'cause Wolfpack is just that good. Simple as, right? Just look at those angles and dangles!

[@redpriest26]

Funny how medal inflation is a thing, imagine getting a Navy Commendation in the modern era for sinking 2 submarines. This is an end of tour award now!

[@gidiyi7326]

Keep on trucking with the series. Additionally I gotta say, that I find your response to the current news (war in Ukraine waged by Russia) appropriately nuanced and measured. Keep it up.

[@zanaduz2018]

If you're taking suggestions for next Cold Waters campaign, perhaps a '68 playthrough? The much lower capabilities of sensors and torpedoes of the earlier era might be a nice change of pace.

[@drtidrow]

6:11 Close to harpooning distance! 😀 Seriously though, if you're right behind them at or less than 1000 yards, you're essentially immune to counterfire - the torps won't go active inside of 1500yds.

[@DiehardMechWarrior]

If you fire a torpedo use the tube opposite your target, The body of your sub will help mask the noise of your shot.

Man it's spooky newer submarines topedos coming after you. I think I've finally changed my mind about being on a submarine, especially there at right before 9:00 mark 700 yards out they have like 15--20 seconds if that to try to do something but doesn't look like they even saw it coming.

[@robbiedecamp5023]

I'm pretty sure that the Narwhal can dive deep enough to crush those stallion torpedoes. I think they can only dive to about 1000 feet before they crush themselves . Never done it in a Narwhal but I have in a Seawolf.

[@thefamilydogs3213]

If you are looking for contacts the best way to find them is to dive to half the depth of the water. So if the depth is 1914 you would dive to 950. Sound is the loudest in this depth range. If you do this then remember that it does make it easy for surface contacts to hear you there as well.

[@christophervanoster]

Not gonna lie that victor at 22:45 turning and booking it for no good reason is giving me the idea that they somehow heard you, fired a torp and booked it away from line of bearing. You just didn’t hear the launch? I’ll probably find out in a minute that’s just my first impression. I don’t think a sun would just turn around like that for no reason

[@BeardsNBASS]

Headed to 100k! Great work bud! You made it look easy, until the next one, Cheers!

That intro music is intimidating. Granted, you're an intimidating submarine commander in command of an intimidating killer.

[@t4rv0r60]

damn this Victor III knew who you are and what you did to its comrades

[@Heldermaior]

The reason why it is also so easy is the Mk48. That thing is by far the best torpedo around

[@ryans1632]

Guh. You totally deserved that torpedo sh*tstorm with the Victor :D Your high speed run to avoid the initial torps was good, but you had more than enough distance by the time the third torp dropped in from above to dial your speed back and go silent. Almost guarantee you could have spoofed that counterattack. I'm half surprised you didn't attract your own initial Mk48.

[@Madlou]

You finally had a challenging mission! It was great. You need to only play all simulation games at their hardest difficulty settings. Most are just too easy for you. Now me, I get killed almost every time LOL!

[@jefferynelson]
