PERISCOPE CHECK - U-55 GOES TO WAR - Episode 74 - Full Realism SILENT HUNTER 3 GWX OneAlex Edition

Welcome to a fresh Silent Hunter Campaign with the GWX OneAlex Edition Mod compilation, based on SIlent Hunter III.
You can find the GWX OneAlex Edition Mod compilation here:
/ discord
The Rules for this Campaign are:
- Dead is dead. When I die, the campaign ends.
- Full realism settings. Only the external camera is allowed for filming purposes
- Manual Targeting
- No recognition manual for random merchant ships
- Attempt to abide by the historical orders in regards to the London Naval Treaty, Operating Procedures and Restrictions

[@DerWeisskunig]

Whenever it is that this campaign does end, I hope that you will start another. Only you and Wolfpack345 play this on KZbin and I honestly enjoy your play style more.

[@thisherehandleIdospout]

Same - Now that I've seen Tonci's expertise in sinking merchants without using the recognition manual, I can't stand the fact that Wolfpack still uses it for everything, LOL 🙃

[@spartannell]

Today reminds me of a time just North of Scotland that I did a scope check before surfacing and saw a dot on the horizon at 6x zoom. Decided to play safe and just watch and check. 5 minutes a plane flew overhead with some sort of torpedo or something strapped to the underside. Never been so happy that I checked the scope first in my life. Incidentally, that career was later lost close to Freetown due to non-stop aircraft attacks in the middle of the night.

[@OtherWorldExplorers]

If you run out of diesel. Just rig a sail off the observation periscope. And break out the oars 😂

LOL HAHA I think Tonci needs a new pair of underwear after that plane just strafed his periscope haha, you got real lucky, haha i really thought it was game over there too....jeez i nearly shit a brick myself hehehe.

[@vipertwenty249]

I've had a go at identifying those seaplanes right at the start of the video and the ONLY possible candidate is the Vought OS2U Kingfisher. It is known that some were in service with the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy but I have been unable to find dates for that, or whether any at all were ever based at Gibraltar. At the moment, absent any better information, I think it is highly unlikely. They *_would_* have the range, but would not be able to carry more than 2 light bombs. Edit: Further reseach indicates a *_slight_* possibility they could have been present from 1943 onwards, but that is very much unconfirmed.

[@captainjonna1034]

I'm playing War on the sea at the moment and in that game the OS2U's can mount to small depth charges to the wings.

[@vipertwenty249]

@@captainjonna1034 Yes that would be do-able I'd think. Problem is I can't find any evidence of the OS2U in British service at that early date or of them being at Gibraltar in American service before 1943. One landplane example was evaluated and rejected in early war, and that's it until 1943.

[@altair_204]

The conning tower must have broached the waves, there's no way that floatplane would be there just to spot just from a periscope lol

The shadow of the submerged boat might have been visible from above

Lesson of today's episode:Don't skip periscope check!!It can save your life!Other than that i hoped that this patrol would end in this episode and have a new patrol next time but never mind.

[@ssmith5048]

Looking forward to the next installment!

[@seigiusjager5763]

I would genuinely say that if you have enough stuff to upgrade to a type 9 I would do it as soon as Operation Drumbeat happens

[@21owlgirl72]

Id be nice if there was a mod that could make it where planes arnt always heading straight forward, and there cool be a chance they dont spot you

We are back (with another episode)

[@AceDupuy]

Small floatplanes often carried small bombs or a couple of depth charges historically. I imagine they have a similar loadout in the game.

[@franknstein546]

Weiter so!

[@Camcolito]

As an Irish person I've very proud of our neutrality in WW2.

[@RM97800]

1. That's a weird thing to be proud of. I hope it's just because of the Irish hate for the Brits. 2. They were only neutral only on the paper and constantly helped the British. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_neutrality_during_World_War_II#The_Cranborne_Report

[@VinceLyle2161]

Equally proud about Eamon de Valera going to the German embassy to express his regrets over the death of Adolf Hitler?

[@assortedbile5381]

Neutrality! Come come, don't be so modest. After all U boats don't refuel themselves.

U 47 sank Royal Oak 🙂

[@captainjonna1034]

if your out of fuel in SH3 GWX OneAlex edition is it game over? cos last time i played I had to sail from wilhelmshaven and my Patrol grid is off the south coast of Ireland and i didn't want to go through the English channel and run the gauntlet, so i had to sail all the way around scotland Scapa Flow....by time i'd added all the waypoints together and included the journey home i started biting my nails cos by time i'd get back to port i'll be running on fumes if even make one bad decision in my efforts to chase down enemy merchant shipping.

[@Tonci87]

I think it is pretty much game over at that point, or abandon ship and hope you are rescued

[@MichaelEdwards85399]

U47 was not sunk by depth charges but if you read Gunther Prien and U-47 the book 📖 it says he may have been sunk by friendly fire instead!!.

[@Tonci87]

I only ever heard the version that he was sunk in action

[@MichaelEdwards85399]

@@Tonci87 I am historian so I do a lot of reading when it comes to the ww2 battle of the Atlantic, but I thought 💭 it may interest you to read the book and learn something new!!.

[@es7821]

The Royal Oak

[@enderdragon9307]

Ah yes, GREED, wanting to chase down something when you don't really have the need and low on resources. It will be the end of you one day. I personally would of ignored sound contact and just RTB in your situation.

[@Tonci87]

You might be right. I have to be careful

[@novazoid1717]

I do often wonder, did any U-Boat captains survive the entire war from the start? I can never find info on that.

[@phillipbriere740]

Listen on youtube or read « Iron Coffins ». Its a personnal account of Werner A Herbert, a WWII uboat captain. Theres a great series on youtube about him. He survived the war but he did call it Iron coffins for a reason.

[@Tonci87]

Yes, for example Schnee. But he was a Staff officer for a time, so it depends on how you define „survived“

[@Bizob2010]

Is it possible to 'save' Bismarck? I.e., if you torpedoed and sank Ark Royal right before she launched her Swordfish?

[@Tonci87]

That is a good question. I think it would still be sunk by the other warships coming for it

[@BeasantN]

Quick question? D you have the refulers set on i fso couldn't yo call into Cadiz to refuel to makesure yo make ith RTB?

[@Tonci87]

Yes, I could refuel in Cadiz

[@nurglessohn9234]

I would love to see a late war campaign.

[@Tonci87]

I hope we survive long enough

[@tahzib1451]

its sad that no matter what happens at sea, the game progresses historically...

[@dominikjankowski3040]

Ark Royal was sunk by U81 in 11.41

[@RM97800]

It appears he mixed up the names. I'm 100% confident he meant HMS Royal Oak

[@emperorSbraz]

can you hear planes on sonar?

[@Tonci87]

No. Sonar is for listening under water
