Back in the 90's I had a great submarine simulator called Aces of the Deep. I spent many hours honing my skills and I remember that would prefer one of the earlier subs due to it's small size and agility. But I eventually got better at being sneaky and graduated myself up to the larger, more capable submarines.
@dondec4 жыл бұрын
I remember that game, and was terrible at it. I didn’t realize back then you have to put some time into these sims to improve. This game, BTW, was my 2nd SH5 post, but my 1st recorded. As you can see I hadn’t perfected my defense paranoia yet, haha! By the time I made my last one, I had things down to perfection. Check this one out if you have time.

I've found if after diving as deep and as fast as possible, well before they're on you, turn sharp at a right-angle away from their screws, and shut down the motors, maintaining silence with the stern showing the least amount of surface area, they will often search along your last known heading. As soon as they do that, slowly head deeper and away from them or if you are lucky enough to be in shallow waters, lay on the bottom.

Yes destroyers move and trun really fast and that's annoying to use torpedos
@malcolmrose33616 жыл бұрын
Is SH5 dumbed down from SH3? Why were destroyers firing deck guns when you had submerged, and why weren't they directly coming at you? And your response was wrong - when your officers first reported contact the right move was to dive deep and move away submerged. If you can get below the thermocline the water is more opaque to their sonar, both active or passive. Going quiet and creeping so that you maintain the smallest profile towards them - ie keep your pointy ends facing them as much as possible - should allow you to creep away. Active sonar works by reflecting soundwaves so the smaller your profile the smaller the reflective surface you are presenting. Later on in the war the surface vessels get much more effective and you'll need to keep a sharp eye out for aircraft - they can be lethal. If you want it to feel more immersive switch to the crew speaking in German - it makes a huge difference - if you don't speak German the text is still in English and you soon learn the basic German phrases. And for SH3 there were a huge number of free mods that you could download from Subsim.com - including music files of wartime German songs. You could also add extra ships, and more realistic campaigns - I'm sure there is the same for SH5.

@malcolmrose33616 жыл бұрын
Apologies - I didn't mean to sound disparaging. I seriously recommend taking a look at the mods recommended on Subsim - from my experience with SH3 they will make the experience a lot more realistic (of course this assumes that you want to make the effort to learn some of the skills necessary - if you don't that is a perfectly valid choice too). I sank a lot of time into SH3 back in the day and loved it.

You do like do sink some "Merchant´s Ships" with your 8,8cm Deck gun" in "World war 2"? Than first, try to play the "World War 1 game" - "The shells of Fury". It is an old 3d game, but there, in this game, you can try to learn, how to use an old "8,8cm Deck Gun" and your "Torpedo´s". It is a very interesting old Game with not very good Graphics but you can go, out "on Sea" for one Mission to another, as a "German U-Boot"- "Leutnant" until a "Kaleunt" with the " Pour le Merit´e" as your "Highest destination". At the end of the game, when you have "overlived the WW1", you have to return to your Base at "Helgoland", when you have played all Missions and than "World War1" is over for you. Okay, another Option is, you can set your "U- Boot" on the Beach, in the near of the "Netherlands" and leave it, if you do like to surrender and you have saved the lives of your whole Crew... . LG to you and have much fun, playing any more Games like this! Markus... :-D ;-) :-)...
