The geometry involved in a WW2 torpedo attack is incredible.

[@Cybernaut76]

It was insane....but those days, you did not have homing torpedoes (except the last few years of the war) so that is what you had to deal with. Still, even General Belgrano in 1982 was sunk with non-homing torpedoes, I heard.

[@warriorcatkspfan6985]

[@Cybernaut76]

@@warriorcatkspfan6985 Yeah. Anti-ship missiles replaced the deck gun because the latter caused too much drag underwater.

[@tarkalak]

The ARB gui in SH3 has a table about taking time measurements at off angles. It is the Klairung table on the Attack scope. You then need to add (when going at the target) or substract (when going away) your own speed from the mesurment. At 45 degrees from your 0 or 180 you need to add or remove your own speed from the emasurement. If you go towards the target while measuring, your must add own speed, because your measurement will be longer. And you need to add it if you are moving away from the target's path.

[@Simon_Hawkshaw]

Incredible graphics and complex gameplay. Thank you so much for sharing this with us all. Very entertaining.

[@MrMezmerize]

The good old SH2 music at the beginning really set the mood 😁

perfecto wolf....it's been a while as i only like silent hunter & u-boat so it was great to see this uploaded & it didn't dissapoint, excellent hunting captain, im amazed any survivors were able to man a lifeboat from the 2nd ship under a suprise attack. looking forward to the next episode no matter how long to wait.

[@distilledmilk2441]

I love how you just sink these guys ship, give THEM stuff, and then just leave them in the middle of the ocean like nothing happened.

Realistically, there is evidence to show that u boats irl gave supplies to sailors they sunk because it's morally right

some interesting reading around those batteries in the torpedoes supposedly they needed charging every few days and could explode if overcharged,I wouldn't mind seeing that as a feature....if true

[@MichalProzac]

The Uboat series is very enjoyable indeed!

[@user-ve5ei2xe8h]

I still remember fondly doing a 360° crash dive blind aft torpedo shot, sinking the target. Don't even know anymore if that was in Aces of the Deep or Silent Hunter. I think I should buy that game.

only tankers blow up like that. any fire aboard can cause those explosions which are very often fatal.

[@michelemolfino5053]

Hi wolfpack, nice video, as always. You should realy make a tutorial video on targeting torpedoes, i'm always struggling with AOB solution and Gyro settings. Keep up the good work!

[@thedudeabides3138]

Yeah, I’d love to see this too.

[@stevenh.9535]

Been playing silent hunter 5 since I got a gaming computer at income tax time and finally downloaded Uboat from steam and by far this is the best sub sim I’ve ever played! Love the graphics and the realism of the crew! As always I’ve been watching your videos for years now and appreciate your dedication to sub sim games! Happy hunting!

[@_EVANERV_]

That ship did not look like a Ol-class tanker, it looked more like a Dale-class tanker due to the stubby funnel. Still an awesome kill though!

[@Hurricane2k8]

Yep, that does look more like the Dale. I'm usually not very good at ship recognition when watching these videos, but this time I noticed it too. edit: still two really good hits, she went down fast!

[@dammitdan1662]

Probably why his torps were hitting aft of the ship… choosing the wrong ID has significant effects.

[@emm4rmstrong]

Seeing as the model was the "Aldersdale" @8:30, which was a Dale-class Oiler, I think you maybe right.

[@snaks9572]

@@Hurricane2k8 it is 100% a dale class, you can see the funnel is low and imbeded in the upper part of the ship and not high and exposed like with the OI class. There also are 2 huge loading cranes/high points that are clearly not on the Ol class.

Silent Hunter III is still a firm favourite for me.

[@mikekoch9259]

I know this is gonna make me sound like an old man lol, but I would love it if this game had access to the music Klaus Doldinger composed for the 1980's WW2 U-Boat movie "Das Boot" it would make the game, to me at least, a lot more atmospheric and pulse pounding if used in the right places. in my defence my uncle Rudy was a Wehrmacht NCO during WW2.

ooh lord finally u boat i was waiting for so long

[@Lelouch7201]

I have to say your Uboat vids are my favourite.

[@RamblinRick_]

I've not played this game. My favorite sub game is Silent Hunter 4 (I never bought SH 5; too many bad reviews). I'm looking at this game during 2023 Summer Steam Sale. Couple questions: 1) Can you use the Dick Kane targeting method.? I assume so. 2) How do you compute target speed if target is not 90 degrees to you? In SH4, we use the Navigation/Targeting map. Take a couple distance readings. Plot target course. Calculate speed based upon distance the target travelled during that amount of time. Here, target speed is calculated using: (Ship_Length * 2)/time (in seconds). But this assumes target is 90 degrees to you and not travelling at an angle towards you. For any SH4 players, how do you like Uboat compared to SH4? I see there's much more crew management for Uboat. Anything else stand out? sidebar: I've been playing sub games since Gato on MSDOS. I'm a developer. A couple of my first games I wrote were sub games.

[@Pixxelshim]

Terrific graphics. And expert play! Thanks

[@JG52Gutted]

@ 8:00, you recognized the tanker as the wrong type ;)

[@StokedToker]

Loved the video, but I have to point out that you misidentified the tanker. It is not an OI model, but the next one on the pages of the ID book. I can't recall what type it was called. I can always tell by the short funnel. One of the tankers has a short funnel, the other is quite a bit taller.

[@nealboswell8786]

Enjoyed your commentary

[@anonymous-a6k]

I can't actually play this because its hard, like when aiming the target, but I really enjoying this game when Wolfpack plays it

[@wallyman292]

Help!!! I'm having some issues with crew mgmt. I've got 2 shifts set up, both with 7 sailors each. The 2 shifts work opposite each other on 12 hour shifts. My problem is I can never assign more than 2 of them total to help the officers. And when I mouse over the little icon at the bottom right of the screen, it says only 2 sailors (rather than 7) are active out of 14. If I go onboard and actually select a sailor who's not doing anything, the officer will re-ask for help, and the sailor will stand up, say "aye, aye captain!" and salute, but then just stand there without doing anything for a few seconds before he goes back to being idle! I've got the game set to intermediate (fyi). Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this is making it hard for me to manage everything efficiently. thanks!

[@ooler]

Tankers only need 1 torp to take a tanker down. 4 meters below water and secondaries go off

[@panzerssg3470]

Lol, Hunt for the Red October said that also

[@jacobb6788]

the tanker was not a OI class cause the smoke stack was more stubby than long.

[@Minong_Manitou_Mishepeshu]

[@TortugaPower]

Near perfect is just another phrase for failure.

[@willwallacetree]

I struggle a little with magnetic fusing. Is it possible to run them under the keel of ships that are at a bad angle and still have them detonate? If so, how much depth/distance will the torpedoes tolerate. Yes, I know the mag fuses are quite fussy, but haven't seen much info about how to use them. Thanks all.

[@downtwiist9919]

I love your U-boat videos :D

[@victormunoz8699]

What is that velocity by chronometer formula? I'm starting to play UBOAT so any help is aprecciated

[@charlez7416]

So I found a glitch in Silent Hunter 3 and I wanna know if other people had it. I play unmodded sh3 atm because I feel like it and I started in 1939 in Kiel and on my 2nd patrol while leaving Kiel and crossing Danish straits I found Type VIIB uboat just sitting there, I started a 2nd campaign and did the exactly same thing but uboat wasn't there and I tested it a few more times. That submarine doesn't move, it just sits there, if I sink it my game glitches out and ships don't move at all and just sit there and they can't but sunk no matter what. In only that one campaign there's submarine spawning and on other patrols it isn't there. The date I found in game was 1939 October 3rd 12.39 and I still don't know what's going on.

[@DaystromDataConcepts]

Love these videos, thank you. Just curious though. On both attacks you stopped the motors while already at low speed just prior to launching torpedoes. Wouldn't depth control be very difficult when all steerage way has come off the boat, complicated by the loss of thousands of pounds of weight leaving the boat during those torpedo salvos? I wonder how the game models this.

[@emperorSbraz]

i don't think torp weight is modeled at all. there is SOME control penalties when at all stop but it mainly just involves rare unplanned surfacing :) which is 99% preventable by having an engineer at the depth station; that 1% missing covers misclicks and the engie being tired and going to bed.

[@DaystromDataConcepts]

@@emperorSbraz Thank you for the info.

[@DieterVanHolder]

Oh wow is the waterproof clothes on the lookout a mod too?

[@Galejro]

Wish this game had a more spiced up espionage gameplay. When you approach lifeboats after sinking you may expect just being shot at by the crew being vengeful or thinking that you don't intend to take prisoners. When you board of a ship for inspection you should have a chance event this is an ambush now the delegation has to fight its way out. If it's a smuggler vessel and you go check the cargo it should be a possible fight cause the crew already knows the ship will be sunk. Fake friendly ship SOS signals to lure you into an ambush, or worse an SOS signal to a uboat in trouble... That's now a rigged booby trap. This game seems to easy and nice, you are the villain here, you should expect cunning and sometimes brutal opposition to yourself.
