One of the things I think you portray really interestingly is the boredom of war (punctuated by brief moments of utter terror).

[@bjornhellgate3985]

Having recently watched Das Boot, it felt weird hearing the sound clips i usually associate with SH3 appear in the movie

[@RM97800]

Having some of the YT comments included in your episodes' narration as "the thoughts of the crew" is a very cool idea! I wish you and your crew the very best chances of survival of this war!

[@spartannell]

Always enjoy seeing episodes - even if there's nothing that happens. It's easy to get frustrated at not finding anything so it's always good to see that no matter how good you are at the game, you can always have a bit of dry run. Besides, it's all part of the story of the boat and crew so it's good to see it.

[@kedishen5748]

100% agree. Release an episode even if you are only talking. Fantastic series

[@swaggaming2564]

I always love watching a good gunfight, especially when the enemy is shooting back. This episode beats out the previous 2v1 deck gun battle with the two coastal tankers by far.

[@Bingo551]

Yes without contact or sinking ships that was the reality. Days of Cher boredom highlighted by minutes of sheer Terror.

[@thisherehandleIdospout]

Yes, days in which one has nothing else to do but listen to Cher do sound *awfully* dreadful 😞

[@snakeplays398]

That Brightened Image thing is veeeery nice!

[@OtherWorldExplorers]

I echo the majority and saying if you have a dull patrol please release it. In fact you could use it as a letter reading for the crew. So we can get to know them a little bit better. Trying connect with them. Having served in the US Navy. I can say that's what Built brotherhood amongst the rest of us.

[@Tonci87]

A nice idea!

[@thisherehandleIdospout]

@@Tonci87 Yes, please - Read us our unpopular opinions! 😆

[@BretHiggins]

I heartily approve of you taking the time to look out for survivors and give them a chance. It’s a nice touch, mate.

[@Paludion]

Only in a sub series can we hear "it's a red flag" and assume it's a good thing. XD Edit : even if the torpedoes missed, it must be a relief for the crew and yourself to add some tonnage to your tally. Let's hope the next patrol is less buggy. ^^

[@captainjonna1034]

Jeez Tonci your deck gun knife fighters really get nail biting at times.....lucky that shell that got super close fell short and hit the water a bit too early, it must've lost most of its energy but surely it musta left a dent in the hull.

[@ar-taqarmando226]

Thanks for sticking out through the dry times with nothing but air bombardment! This was wonderful action at last!

[@BuckshotDragon]

Good Show. I always play. i am glad to see your adventures and relate to troubles or no ships anywhere......

[@RM97800]

I hope you feature more of the external camera following the torpedoes in your vids. It's always nice (although sometimes frustrating) to know you technically scored a hit, but the fish failed to do it's job. If you don't wanna do it for your sake (learning from known mistakes and not just guessing what went wrong), then maybe for the people watching this series...

[@ath_greek]

my favourite series

[@Tonci87]

Thank you :)

[@phillipbriere740]

Your calculations were good, I cant find any faults on your part, must of been 2 duds and 2 misses. You got them in the end, great video ones again. *Yes videos even without anything happening is great, take a break/ vacation with crew between patrols if ok if you want 👌

[@mineplow1000]

That surface gunfight; gripping stuff, man!

[@novazoid1717]

I'm definitely all for an episode with nothing going on. It makes it realistic in my opinion.

[@dominikjankowski3040]

Thank You Tonci . I love this game since 2005 . you're giving me childhood excitment again , Do You know any good manual targeting tutorial ? Pozdrawienia z Polski ;)

[@gvii]

The G7's pistols were still a little flakey at this point, but at least they aren't Mk14's. With all the issues that plagued those disastrous hunks of crap, you'd be more apt to sink a ship by assembling the crew on deck and having them scream obscenities at it as you passed by.

[@Tonci87]

Funny enough, both the German and the US torpedo crisis have similar origins

[@gvii]

@@Tonci87 Like a Quartermaster who held a patent on the impact pistol used in the torpedo who insisted everything was just fine until he eventually got tossed out on his rear? Well, technically he wasn't entirely wrong. The pistol did work fine in the previous torpedo model. It was the fact they turned it so the firing pin ran perpendicular to the direction of travel when they put it in the Mk14. His outright refusal to listen to the crew's complaints also kept it from being addressed. The fact that there were several other issues that all kind of masked each other didn't help either. Nor did the fact that the Navy refused to allow test firings since this was a time when the government actually cared about things like budgets. What a crazy concept, government sticking to a budget. Lol.

[@davefranklin4136]

WRT the torpedo misses, I can't definitively say it's a bug, but you have to be careful when you have a mixed bag of steam and electric fish. If you set the steam torpedoes higher than slow speed, even if you don't have them selected, the TDC seems to use the higher torpedo speed for the slower electric fish. I have seen my electric torps miss astern with this situation many times. I think you're past the timeframe where the torp malfunctions are likely.

[@patnolen8072]

Interesting - perhaps the TDC has a glitch in resetting between torpedo speeds.

[@ssmith5048]

Best sub streams ´- SH4, SH3 and Cold Waters. Always a pleasure to watch your series (as well as the Mius front etc etc!)

[@silentotto5099]

I don't mind episodes where you come up empty on enemy shipping. It's a part of the experience of a U-boat.

[@MrVercetti79]

Nice Toncil finally the bad luck fly away :D good guns duel!!!

[@obamabin-laden2420]

Do you have any sub mods installed alongside the onealex GWX mod? If so could you name them? i recently installed the onealex mod and noticed little things like the men standing on deck in your videos etc.. but didn't see that in my game. Great content as always! :)

[@vaggelissmyrniotis2194]

I am surprised you made a submerged night attack instead of the usual surfaced attack especially on unescorted targets.I suppose your previous experiences made you more cautious.Its a shame that all your torpedos missed but your deck gun crew saved the day(or night to be more precise).

[@richardprivate5568]

Excellent upload, loving the series

[@ssmith5048]

Another great episode Tonci!

[@nikbear]

As always, proper riveting episode, really draws you in! 👏👏👏 excellent 👌

[@DerredmaxTRIAX]

Awesome, can't get enough Thanks...

[@mikeymack6852]

Yep - so look forward to this series. Great job as always. Thank you👍👍👍

[@captainjonna1034]

Hey Tonci before i watch the video, is there anywhere i can get hold of prize rules mod that's compatible with the GWX one alex adition, also do you know of any voice command mods that works with SH3 i really miss be able to use my voice for commands, any information you have on these subjects would be greatly appreciated....and thank you for the hard work and commitment to continuing the Series it truly is one of best if not thee best SH3 series i've ever watched.

30:25 I think we just found a volunteer for toilet scrubbing duty with that comment.

[@seigiusjager5763]

I would like for you to reconsider UBOAT in the future. They're going all out on bug fixes and updates for the Release Open Beta.

[@derwinlu]

new uboat patch looking good. still feels a bit unrealistic difficulty wise but coming along nicely. would love to see you (long) take on it

[@Camcolito]

All those reichsmarks straight to the bottom!!

[@theroyalaustralian]

Where was the "Hello there" in this video?

[@cornfield755]

Caught up with the series so far yearday, and now a new installment? Is this a Third Happy Time? The title suggests not...

[@Sir_Los]

Captain complained about 100k in wasted torpedoes but would rather risk a 2.5m boat and full crew to have a gunfight. 😂

[@Tonci87]

War is wasteful

[@thisherehandleIdospout]

@@Tonci87 I think we found a volunteer for the next round of 'scuttlebutt reading' 😏

[@manuelkong10]

I guess I'm missing something....WHY do you want to cross over to the other side of those two ships ahead of them??

[@spartannell]

Because at the point that he's directly ahead of them - AoB 0 - he can mark where they are from his view and he'll be able to extrapolate out their course. At that point it becomes easy to determine how far away you are from their track (i.e. Range) and where they are on their track - therefore getting the Angle on Bow pretty much for free. At that point the only information you have to worry about gathering is speed.

[@Tonci87]

What Spartannell wrote

[@ExclusionGlove]

why sinking tankers become so difficult after 1942? They can withstand 2-3 torpedos

[@memyshelfandeye318]

Check the size ...

[@tacticalcalebgaming7264]

@@memyshelfandeye318 sometimes in well placed hit can break it’s back

[@codychapple9069]

Hey Tonci, on your second measurement I think that ship sped up to at least 13-14 knots based on its length and the fact it crossed your sights in 24 seconds. Would that be accurate?

[@Eelmaster]

What illuminatd keyboard do you use ?

[@Tonci87]

I use a Roccat Horde Aimo

[@Analog_Mind47]

I'd like to see the nothing represented in a montage, but I'd like to see Something happen in each episode even if that something leads nowhere. If you have a good idea to make an episode where nothing happens, entertaining & educational I'm all for it, but going forward I wouldn't want to see the last episode again

[@thisherehandleIdospout]

Just think, Tonks - The sooner you get a Type IX, the sooner you can have MORE battles like this, except in the daytime (if you want) and (likely often) without nearly as many air patrols to boot! 😉

[@tahzib1451]

when hunter killer groups go rampant, do you have any plans of attacking them?

[@thisherehandleIdospout]

That... sounds like a bad idea, friend 🙃
