Silent Hunter 3 - Mediterranean Career || Episode 35 - Damn the Torpedoes

[@1092midnight]

I'm always ecstatic to see another episode in this series! I hope you don't give up on Silent Hunter after this concludes I still rewatch the type IX and Type XXI series' from time to time

[@davidsmith8997]

If he makes it much farther! The Med becomes increasingly deadly pretty quickly.

[@Tonci87]

Sometimes duds happen at the worst of times. Sadly luck wasn´t on your side today....

[@JakowFomiczWariennikow]

Look who's here. Love your SH3 series, Tonci ❤

[@thisherehandleIdospout]

Tonks! *WHERE'S MUH SH3 CONTENT?!?* Please, *I need more* 😩

[@nicklindberg90]

If Wolfpack didn't have bad luck, he'd have no luck at all

[@antibrevity]

7:20. YT compression means that we can't see anything at all. Good thing we're not manning the periscope. I love the SH3 and UBoat series.

[@bubwal23xifan]

Caught this on a refresh and clicked so damn fast. I love the SH series.

[@BellaZuikaku4785]

29:08 Lady Luck was on RMS Aquatania “Ship Beautiful” side this time. I’m actually kinda happy she wasn’t sunk, if 345 got her then it’s another Lusitania disaster

[@tugboats79]

I think he got it in type IX series...

[@Zadlo14]

Bigger than Lusitania disaster. Largest troopship sunk by U-Boot was Laconia which carried 2732 people. Aquitania could've carried ~4500 soldiers as a troopship.

[@tugboats79]

@@Zadlo14 In real life yes but wasn't Laconia passenger ship and not a troopship at the time of her sinking? 🤔

[@Zadlo14]

@tugboats79 No, it was troopship and carried Italian POWs at the moment of her sinking

[@Deadlock-g4t]

Laconia is a man dark history indeed

[@JustPeasant]

That's a shame. You did sunk Aquitania two years ago east of Africa, close to equator. In U-571 (Typ IX/40). Struck by three eels (one prematurely detonated). HQ awarded you a sword with oak leaves.

[@thisherehandleIdospout]

...EAST of Africa?? Wow, he really was in a Type IX, wasn't he? 😄

[@huskergator9479]

I like how the quiet dripping sound kept going during the close of battle. Rather fitting for the situation. Great as always. Thank you Wolfy!

[@traffictraffic]

I dont comment often but I enjoy your silent hunter and u boat gameplay. They are my favourite especially with how you tell the story at the beginning.

[@jadefang9301]

Win some, lose some! I'd say it's balanced, I remember some miraculous shot directly into the bow of an oncoming destroyer early in this series!

[@chessell256]

Hello WP! Love this series! Very rotten luck with those three ells at the end. The RN wasn't even aware that you were about! Lucky Tommies on that ship for sure. Love this content and keep it coming!🍻

[@jw8943]

For your next SH series, have you ever considered the Soviet Waterways mod for SH4? It's got the Baltic, Arctic and Black Sea theatres and has an English translation. The threat environment especially in the Baltic plays very differently from German or US campaigns, with short and often deadly patrols in Soviet boats

[@pikke2010]

Welcome back in La Spezia! You may wish to forget your disappointment about that last attack with a bottle of Candia wine and some wonderful fried fish. Thanks @Wolfpack345, I always enjoy your videos!

[@hemichargerrt01]

Merry Christmas WolfPack345! Love your videos! Thanks for all you do!

[@Yamato-tp2kf]

For a moment I though that the title of this episode was quoting FDR with his in his famous speech "Arsenal of the Democracy" where he says, "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!"...

[@Plombo_5]

Such an amazing series! Thanks much! Looking forward to some more!

[@beardedphobos5211]

Thank you for such great content and having a new SH vid on my b'day can't ask for much more thank you my friend

[@ChaosphereIX]

Yes my fav series, love the story WP

[@WoodlandsArchive]

Merry christmas Wolf! Great stuff as always.

[@maxh0077]

Ah yes, my favorite Sunday series just updated with a new episode

[@madkyngehenry4401]

Know the frustrating thing about some torps "going their own way". On a Type IXB in Aug, '42, and torps bonking off hulls, both US and UK. Cannot wait for more T3's to come out.

[@fancyjets4390]

You win some, you lose some, Wolf. I could feel the pain in your voice when you were talking about the torps for Aquitania, LOL. I understand, homie. I think we’ll do good on the next patrol.

[@AndiKoehn]

Favorite series of yours! Hoping you keep going on. Cheers and happy holidays!

[@JeromePatton-v2o]

wolf pack 345 it's good to hear you again it's always amazing to hear from you and see your amazing video's I mean they are amazing thank you keep bringing more videos

[@antibrevity]

Someone's getting an earful back at dock.

[@loginlover]

What rotten luck with those torpedoes! It's so cool you can actually hear the duds impact the target vessel though

[@vaggelissmyrniotis2194]

Those aquitanias are everywhere, especially in the med.I sank one of them in my current career in the atlantic playing in1943.Normally you cant catch up to them since they move faster than the top speed of a uboat unless they are escorted or the seas are rough.Personally i prefer impact detonators especially against those liners unless the angle is bad or zigzagging.

[@RealSamski]

Thanks for the nice video. Still your best series

[@ricardomorais6687]

C´mon patrol n.º 6..... excited for what to come next!!! Keep up the good streams!!

[@RemusKingOfRome]

Good one, Merry Xmas and happy 2025

[@michaelbedinger4121]

Great video, thank you very much for sharing. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 and happy new year 🎉 😊

[@thisherehandleIdospout]

To actually catch the 'thud' of the torpedo bouncing impotently off the hull... *BRUH* 🫠

[@mikhailiagacesa3406]

I'm simulating Italy in HOI4 invading Greece(yeah), so I'm thinking all things Med. I wonder why the Tommies never got to land a division or more on the Libyan-Egyptian coast. I guess they heard about you, or are building the desert railway! Don't worry about the scathing letters to BdU about torps; as an XO I'll do it. 😉

[@BasmatiJones]

Could the duds and possible malfunction have been due to "not maintaining" the torpedoes before use? It always seems you order torpedoes maintained before use, and that may have happened but simply was not included; however, a zero-for-three outing is just incredibly hard to believe given previous reliability. Thanks for a very, very enjoyable and entertaining series!

[@dereksherwood3794]

Coulda sworn I saw a splash against her stern. Looked like torp 1 hit but was a dud. Tube 4 though... that's aaaaaall you lol ;D

[@DieWitness]

Damn the Torpedoes....Full Speed Ahead

[@Go4Corvette]

Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

[@gorter23]

words in the title are thirty-five, numbers in the title are Episode 34. thank you for this youtube

[@Anamericanhomestead]

I was like, "why is he setting those to 15 meters deep???" Those fish sailed right under her.

[@thisherehandleIdospout]

It's also possible that one of the two that missed ran even deeper because of a malfunction. Heck, BOTH could have - Such unreliability wasn't unheard of. The sea state was also atrocious, so a lucky wave could have made all the difference, even if he had set the depth markedly shallower, AND used impact pistols to boot. And even then... one torpedo, with an impact pistol, against that behemoth? Maybe... but he apparently wanted to go for the kill with a magnetic detonation under or close to the keel. Captain's prerogative 🤷‍♂ And in the end... it's all just Monday morning quarterbacking anyways 😉

[@calebcornelius8669]

Aquitania got lucky this time around. I remember you sinking her in the type ix series.

[@gebus5633]

Engage gunboat mode, surface right next to them and blast with the deck gun. Of course on the other side from the escort ship. I would have been pissed off enough to try. Alternatively, could have trailed them and attack with calmer seas, but that's hindsight speaking.

[@williamharr1325]

YOUR SH3 CONTENT IS ONPOINT AND MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE! HOW CAN I PAY MORE ON PATREON FOR MORE OF THESE!?!

[@jbeckley6849]

If you took out the escort, you could have decked the two troop transports. Other than AA defense, troop transports do not carry heavy guns.

[@jmaniere]

it s really a radio related mission as can t really see anything in y tube on the scope during night attack with poor visibility ...

[@antgiat]

Dong!!!a merry x-mass to you!🎉

[@MrRespectable-gw2xd]

Great video even though it was a dark one.

[@darkpast2177]

Dude i just finish watching Das Boot i finally understand some of references 😂

[@drenunez9271]

Such a great series

[@bashplatewow6969]

I Imagine someone would differently would try to sink that escorts using torpedos only to use the deck gun on that big troop transport ship I mean i would differently try my idea 😂

[@swatb2719]

That sucks about the duds. Is there any chance of seeing that ship again later? (Doubt it but thought I'd ask).

[@4santa391]

and with such a juicy target as well

[@TurboMcAwesome]

Aquatania is still in her civilian paint scheme.

[@jimtownsend7899]

Sometimes reality even creeps into virtual reality. Or art imitates life?

[@arthunterns]

Just what I need

[@geofftottenperthcoys9944]

SH3 is out cheap on Steam at the moment too!

[@mrbannon0]

I think you have a saboteur on board.

[@buckduane1991]

Ouch… Plot Armor wins again.

[@arthurcrego8297]

Hit shappens Wolf

[@silentotto5099]

I feel your pain....

[@robertbailey592]

Silent Hunter is a cruel mistress

[@Commandergree143]

Wolfpack why don’t you play the Wolfpack sub game?

[@beedalton9675]

I usually fire without the settings wait till the arrow turns green and fire ..... I never miss I do 900 yards or 1200 minimum

[@crowsbridge]

The Titanic survives!

[@user-he5me9td1t]

Yea, I find SH never lets you bag the heavies...always a torp malfunction when you see a carrier or other high value target...the game sucks for that.

[@piotrwrobel7795]

Anyone here knows the guide how to install the mod to do Mediterranean?

[@qqqrwa]

jest kampania normalnie w grze mi się wydaje

[@piotrwrobel7795]

Nie ma opcji żeby złożyć transfer do floty na morzu śródziemnym

[@justforfun4103]

Those duds were a let down.

[@Ragefps]

Topedoes so good the American Bureau Ord copied them😂

[@ericstearns170]

Clunk. Clunk. Clunk. Better luck next time.

[@Go4Corvette]

Bad luck ☹️ 😪 😕

[@jeffgriff3837]

Sorry bout your eels . Rtb

[@Elmer_Buckwhistle]

No target nationality identification......humm.....were Italians with the Germans at that time?

[@2polev355]

Nice, I'm early.

[@KoyOrtega]

First hahaha

[@Iberis_Haze]

Early

[@knightmare8083]

Looks like the crew requires some training on torpedo maintaining. Lol

[@tiagoflanker828]

SH series is the best submarine simulator.. And i say this in 2024!
