Let's play Silent Hunter 4 (TMO) Patrol 4 Pt.1 - Shiny New Boat!

[@keimahane]

@11:14 "Man, I love that sound effect so much." After 28 years in the US Navy, Destroyers/Frigates mostly, that sound makes my stomach twist every time I hear it, lol

[@stanstenson8168]

Followed shorty by "I hope they didn't detect us"

[@Jetpusher]

On any ship it’s scary. Stationed on a carrier here and hearing it makes me think we might be on the receiving end of some anti ship missiles.

[@keimahane]

@@Jetpusher Thank you for doing what needs to be done. I know the life can be harsh, so again thank you!

[@wildrootsfarm1975]

Glad I found these, after 10 yrs, Im back at it again myself. Keep them coming!

[@Wolfpack345]

Welcome back captain!

[@jacobhill3302]

The escort to merchant ratio is accurate because the supply effort of the IJN was mainly conducted by destroyers for their speed. Get up and down the slot faster with less time to get attacked by US aircraft.

Andrew Jackson May (June 24, 1875 - September 6, 1959) was a Kentucky attorney, an influential New Deal-era politician, and chairman of the House Military Affairs Committee during World War II, infamous for his rash disclosure of classified naval information that resulted in the loss of 10 American submarines and 800 sailors,[1] and his subsequent conviction for bribery. May was responsible for a major release of highly confidential military information during World War II known as the May Incident.[4] U.S. submarines had been conducting a successful undersea war against Japanese shipping during World War II, frequently escaping their anti-submarine depth charge attacks.[4][5] May revealed the deficiencies of Japanese depth-charge tactics in a press conference held in June 1943 on his return from a war zone junket.[4][5] At this press conference, he revealed the highly sensitive fact that American submarines had a high survival rate because Japanese depth charges were exploding at too shallow a depth.[4][5] Various press associations sent this leaked news story over their wires and many newspapers published it, including one in Honolulu, Hawaii.[4][5] After the news became public, Japanese naval antisubmarine forces began adjusting their depth charges to explode at a greater depth.[4][5] Vice Admiral Charles A. Lockwood, commander of the U.S. submarine fleet in the Pacific, estimated that May's security breach cost the United States Navy as many as ten submarines and 800 crewmen killed in action.[4][5] He said, "I hear Congressman May said the Jap depth charges are not set deep enough. He would be pleased to know that the Japs set them deeper now."[4][5] A report from the U.S. Navy's Pacific Submarine Fleet determined that Japanese anti-submarine warfare (ASW) forces failed to uncover the maximum test depth ability of U.S. fleet submarines during the war.[6] However, the report made no finding as to whether or not Japanese ASW forces altered their depth charge attacks to deeper settings as a consequence of May's revelation to the press.[6] - Google

Yeah I am pretty happy with the way they are turning out! Also in response to your other comment. I am indeed from Texas. I think my accent is more noticeable than I would like. LOL.

Thank god i found someone with long gameplay and and with normal comment. I remember when i played this game as a child and i was so scared to look at boat from outside when i was under water, i got creeps at 6.30 xDD

Thanks!!

Me sitting here yelling at the screen because the 3rd torpedo is doing a circular run, and I foresee imminent doom. Him sitting there calmly: ''I don't know what went wrong. They weren't going that much faster.''

[@BernardLangham]

he timed them for 2 minutes, instead of 3, so they were actually going quite a bit faster than 8 knots. likely 12 knots,.

[@clevercat5844]

Beautiful graphics! Good hunting!

[@Wolfpack345]

Thanks!

[@ianirwin9480]

Doesn't matter if your aim is way off, you're using American torpedoes anyway

Missing with your first fish, welcome to my world!

[@howardfortyfive9676]

The *Voice* calling the crew to Battle Stations reminds me of the voice of *Captain Dale Dye (Ret.)* What do *you think?* I REALLY LIKE the recording here of the call to General Quarters. It stirs one to action.

[@Wolfpack345]

Yeah I love that sound effect as well. Honestly alot of the sound effects in this game are so awesome. The voice does sound alot like Captain Dale Dye! I don't believe it is tho..

[@Cg23sailor]

@@Wolfpack345 that voice is from an actual recording of a GQ alarm so its an actual unknown sailor. However you should make out the voices of Harvey Keitel and Bill Paxton during the diving the boat audio sequences. (Taken from the film, U-571)

[@Wolfpack345]

That's awsome that it is a recording from a real General Quarters alarm. Thanks that information!

[@Fastbikkel]

After seeing your movie on SH4, i decided to install those mods you named in the description. However, i will either need to investigate more or abandon it. The graphics look like crap on my side. The sailor standing on the bridge have a shine around them as if they are glowing. The nights are also very weird in their appearance, i see weird shapes in the sky and the water turns blueish/purplish. I really like how it looks on your side, so i wanted to replicate this. I will try again tonight, i will just reinstall the whole bunch from scratch.

[@Wolfpack345]

Yeah the see through watch crew in sh4 is an issue. Turning off volumetric fog seems to help a bit. Hope this helps!

[@Fastbikkel]

@@Wolfpack345 Thanks ! In the meantime i did try and find something myself and it turned out that my gamma was causing trouble and i in fact fixed it. My installation folder however seemed a bit of a mess and i reinstalled the lot. But now nothing works, when i install TMO it fails when i run the sim, i keep getting a list of errors claiming files are not found. I will try again tonight and look for info on subsim.com. Thanks for the reply man! I like your movies.

[@Fastbikkel]

@@Wolfpack345 I have everything running again, so cool. Tried a bit myself.

[@williamsamuels1165]

Lol, that isn't a new boat. SS-192 Was originally named the USS Squalls, this boat sank of the east coast in 1939. It was later recovered and renamed USS Sailfish in 1940. Congrats the Navy has gifted you a condemned boat.

[@Gearing-s8q]

Sailfish still went on to be successful during the war

[@moalzaben5554]

12:17 can u actually call for backup in this game, like u literally said call in b-17s from Guadalcanal to bomb this convoy?

[@Wolfpack345]

You can send radio messages and sometimes air soupport will come

[@moalzaben5554]

Wolfpack345 damn, now that would be cool to see! 😎

[@moalzaben5554]

@@Wolfpack345 hey Wolfpack, what do u think was the fate of that convoy? Did the B-17s destroy them?

Have you ever tried a close fwd tube attack, then dove deep to cross under the track then engage with stern tubes?

[@moalzaben5554]

Hey wolf after that failed torpedo attack on the convoy near Bougainville did u actually radio their last position and after that did B-17s actually destroyed the convoy? Edit: I bet u those B-17s have destroyed that convoy

[@whitewolf1298]

B-17's could not hit ships during the war.

[@moalzaben5554]

@@whitewolf1298 yeah that’s true, I mean just look at the battle of midway when B-17s attacked the Kido Butai

[@OdeeOz]

Question; Did you have trouble with torpedoes going very wide when only set 2 degrees on close shots?

[@Wolfpack345]

Hmmm No I have not had that issue.

[@denniscompton8485]

i was freaking out that my SH4 doesn't look anything like your videos.. then i realized you had mods... graphics are completely different... where do i get the mods and do they cost anything..?

[@stanstenson8168]

Dennis he puts his mods in the description, if you expand it. I think you have to install them in in the order he has them listed. Pretty sure they are free. I think they are at SUBSIM. Might have to get the google machine going 'cause I don't remember for sure..

[@kk6aw]

I play wolves of the pacific v5. Im too old to sit for hours to make a kill. I use easy mode fuel and battery are max. Just click on ship and all info automatic select torpedos, speed , contact or influnce. Open outer doors shoot. My entire war tonnage 41-45, 8,800,000. Tons. Every ship in inventory war and merchants. I even sunk a Sub but wws not given crediit as it wzs just in port and not listed as one of the listed ships. Sunk a ton of destroyers but also due to a glitch hit many on bow and stern didnt even slow them down.

[@johnstringer4439]

Should do a series with the Updated TMO by BH 1980. Really takes TMO to a new level

New Georgia sound there’s an old name during ww2 iron bottom sound

[@Garryck-1]

Looked to me as if you timed them for 2 minutes, not 3.. so they'd have been going more like 12 knots than 8. Not surprising that you missed, then.

[@Wolfpack345]

Yeeaaahhh that will do it haha good catch! That stopwatch is so damn small its hard to tell sometimes!

[@alexandervamp1]

No way the escorts hear anything but the thundering herd front escorts to close and the rear is deaf, dumb and blind! As long as you use scope disaplein your golden.

Can you play Silent Hunter online against players that control the destroyers

[@phillipfleming518]

New Georgia Sound, AKA Iron Bottom Sound!!!!

[@Cg23sailor]

Nope. New Georgia Sound is not Iron Bottom Sound. Iron Bottom Sound is Southeast of New Georgia Sound. The area off the north coast of Guadalacanal . Between Guadalcanal, Savo Island, and Florida Island. Sailed the Slot in '93 and took part in a wreath laying ceremony in Iron Bottom sound on the anniversary of the battle.

[@necrontyr5258]

Where did patrols 1 - 3 go? Edit: 6:08 "faster the our S-Boat" Ohh, that's where patrols 1-3 went. ok, good to know I'm not missing anything critical then. Playlist binge ahoy!

[@e.kent.d9561]

By the way, did Captain Kirk write the intro here?

[@Wolfpack345]

Haha that was definitely the feel I was going for;) I plan on haveing an intro like that for every episode.

[@jacksongibbs8998]

He’d definitely write the intro for the CV-6

TARGET for TODAY

[@alexandervamp1]

Go under the merchis and hide in the sound.

[@tropicthunder131]

Type 7c dived in roughly 25 seconds.

[@Wolfpack345]

Yeah it depends on alot of factors tho mainly the crew and weather ect. 25 seconds seems really short, though I don't doubt that a well drilled crew could crash dive in that time. For example in 'Thunder Below' Flucky talks about being able to dive his Gato class sub in about 35 seconds. When the Standerd was about 60 seconds. Dive times are funny things however. The numbers seem to be all over the place.

[@deno202]

What is the name of the mod where you can walk freely?

[@Wolfpack345]

Trigger Maru Overhauled let's you do it. Or you can press Shift+F2 and you can walk about the sub freely.

[@havan56]

Just started [laying again myself after a two year hiatus. I find that the game is great when something is happening but the realism extends a bit too far into the real tedium of war when playing it myself. It's actually more fun to watch someone else play it on You-tube.
