4:28 fun fact: WW1 torpedoes were so unreliable that uboats rather used the deck guns as much as possible, at the end of the war it was a bit better but only during WW2 were torps as reliable as today. If I were you I'd fired 2 torpedoes. Yes it's more expensive and has less available for next targets but at least the ones you DO fire at is more likely to die

Submarine crew just preferred the deck gun over both world wars. Not only was it more reliable Torpedos were just insanely valuable due to the limited supplies.

The Abwehr giving you bad intelligence is 100% historically accurate. At best, they were incompetent and constantly outplayed by the British at every turn - to the point where Nazi agents landing in Britain were immediately recruited by MI5 or SOE as double agents - and at worst they actively collaborated with the Allies, as chief of the Abwehr - Admiral Wilhelm Canaris - secretly opposed Hitler and was one of the few German officers who genuinely resisted the regime, ending up imprisoned in 1944 and executed for treason in 1945, shortly before the end of the war.

ok pro tip : 1) use HE rounds on the AA for planes and AP for ships 2) when plotting attack, have your commander with 2 crewmen on the attack periscope because it speeds up the data collection, extends aiming range etc 3) have an officer on the Torpedo Data Calculator 4) Go to crew skills and pick specialisations for your officers. Choose the one for the engineer that has him primarily occupied with torpedo maintainance when attacking. That way you'll have torpedoes at the ready. You can even assign a second engineer to torps if you have one 5) if manual aim is difficult, let the crew do it. Select a ship-> target-> choose whoever is on the attack periscope + the hydrophone. idk why but the officer operating the hydrophone can also target a ship, but i think that it a skill available on the skill board
@soldiersPL2 ай бұрын
Guess imma give few of mine 1) HE shells works fine-ish on ships but got different target, you want to aim APs close to waterline (don't bother hitting just the waterline, its nearly damn impossible to do it consistently), and HE on superstructure (tho close to deck), mostly to cause fires 2) Get second Engineer and Leader ASAP if you don't have them, sacrifice research if you need to, having both of them allows you to rotate them to always have someone working their stations during patrols 3) Don't bother manually doing AA with machineguns, AI is much better at it, go on a cannon instead, it has surprisingly large range of motions and aircraft usually fly at you in straight line so in most cases you should be able to hit it in 1-3 shots 4) Don't bother with T2 torps, they are slow, fairy short range, and depending on version of the game, have 30-40% BASE chance of being a dud regardless of piston, use them ONLY if you are doing early-game port raid/scapa flow since devs finally implemented AI being able to easily track from where T1 torp was shot (due to steam trace), if you're on open ocean and doing long range shots T1's are honestly a go-to even when you have access to end-game torps and pistons 5) Try learning how to do at least basic manual aiming, this is game-changing because it allows you to do even 10km shots, FAR out of range of your AI officer's visibility, and its fairy easy on cruising convoys since both their bearing and speed (early on its always ~7 knots) will remain mostly static across whole convoy 6) You can do most of manual calculations while game is paused 7) Most if not all of escorts tend to peel off convoy to go on hunting mode if they're alarmed and then take their time getting to what continued sailing forward, so you can use either AI uboats as bait, or firing from extreme range and then going flank speed to catch up to transport boats and sink them all while they're defenceless 8) You're running out of some stuff but base/milk cow is too far? Try checking abandoned transport boats, their holds can hold stuff like food or cannon/machine gun ammo, sometimes even useables like coffee

That is an interesting question - I’m not too read on the C3 I’m afraid. But what I do know is the Emergency Ship Building program was focused on the liberty both because of size but also speed of building (literally it became a competition who could make a liberty ship fastest). Indeed the C3 would be larger and even faster but it seems like that a bit over 200 were made in the years during the war. But it looks like they were modified and redesigned to specific tasks like escort carriers and submarine tenders. So I would assume the C3 were not as disposable (as cheap to make) as the liberty class was. Liberty ships being able to made by any ship building company so fast was because it easy and cheap to construct - and it’s why they are able to make so many. That said a good portion of this is speculation after some brief reading up on the C3.

12:50 yes.... Genuinely only 10% of all convoys were ever attacked and only 10% of ships in them sunk. That means that you'd have a 99% chance of surviving the crossing as a merchant ship, obviously people made more than one trip mostly, hence why people eventually did experience being attacked, and sometimes it was multiple U-boats hitting multiple cargo ships and wiping out a whole convoy, but that just meant 9 other convoys slipped through unmolested. At only 2 times in the whole war did the Uboats sink the amount of tonnage (for a month) they estimated they'd need to sink continually for about 1 year, and that estimate was lower than the amount they'd actually need to sink because their intelligence didn't account for things like the WarAg increasing domestic food production. BBC documentaries and British historians like to catastrophize and over exaggerate for dramatic effect how close we were to surrender, but when you compare it to the siege of Leningrad the people of the UK were doing perfectly fine during WW2, in fact the Germans came closer to starving out Britain in WW1 with Uboats and that tonnage war gets largely forgotten. Even without the Americans entering the war and building their own cargo ships the British shipyards were outproducing cargo ships compared to how quick the Germans could sink them, similar to how during the Battle of Britain the problem was not a shortage of planes but rather a shortage of pilots, the main difference being that Britain (as an island nation with proud naval history, and seafaring being much simpler than flying) had no shortage of people to work on cargo ships, and yes, ultimately, if push came to shove, trained Naval Officers would have been removed from escort ships and those ships left at anchor, in order to keep massive numbers of cargo ships going across, even if it meant unescorted. And convoys coming in to "Western Approaches" really did take two different theories the whole war, large convoys where the chances that something gets through are much higher and can be escorted by military ships AND lone vessels where the idea was that they were less likely to be found (ten individual cargo ships travelling hundreds of nautical miles apart rather than ten all grouped up next to each other) and even if found less likely to be attacked as a Uboat "may not want to waste torpedoes and give away his position when there COULD be a massive convoy coming along any day....only to discover nothing came and they should have fired when they had the chance"

Empire ships are easy, they just sink in one torpedo without much consideration for depth or magnetic pistol, no need to explain that a reasonably accurate shot is a guaranteed win on those.

Which is basically three times the total tonnage of the greatest uboat ace in WWII. I WANT MY MEDAL!!!

@@RonJeremy514 patrols in this game take a long ass time tho. Really depends on time. I had a lot of free time for an adult and I still only got to 1941 on 77% realism

"I do everything right", is why I gave up on the game. Because even with maximum easiness difficulty settings, I couldn't even move ammo from storage to the decks, and that's when I called horse manure and uninstalled the game forever. Or else I'd be getting rid of entire fleets of destroyers for jollies, so much that I start to realize that the game will spawn unlimited boats...which, again, would make me quit once I realize there was no getting rid of the Royal Navy when they can spawn literally infinity boats. In short, if there weren't all those bugs and no nerf of the deck weapons, I would be LOVING my time as the terror of the English Channel.

What was the song you used in 15:34. That sounds like a banger. (It was Try to Catch Me by Bonnie Grace)
