Silent Hunter 4 - S-Boat Career || Episode 5 - No Merchants?

[@shtehfaw]

SH4: We have been at sea for a month, and sunk 2 sub chasers. UBOAT: We have been at sea for an afternoon. Food supplies are near 0 and half the crew is sick.

[@Lehr-km5be]

Yeah, the discrepancy between the fuel and food capacities in UBoat are just huge. With a maxed engineer and 2 sailors helping him I could cover almost 50k kilometers on slowest speed and almost 30k at 1/3 speed. Food runs out real quick due to limited space compared to that - to combat that I would advise an expanded galley mod if you are into that - having due end the patrol after just around one month was just not enough for me :)

[@connycontainer9459]

Uboat does pioneer a some game elements, but they dp alot of stuff that's been trialed and proven over and seemingly wrong for some reason.

S33 has almost certainly crippled IJN ASW operations in the Aleutians. I can't imagine they have many subchasers and DE's left in the area at this point.

Would be cool if he showed the aircraft going in for their attack run once the boat is well under

[@gascan]

Your boat isn't leaking. It's sweating. Imagine placing a glass of icewater out on a humid day: the moisture in the air will condense on the cold cup. The same thing happens on a cold submarine. If there's a leak, then someone needs to do some maintenance on that valve: that's the sort of thing that won't hold up under attack. Edit: ohh man! That cinematic surfacing procedure gave me some serious chills. Even if nothing happens on an episode, I'll be more than happy if you fill it with things like that.

[@jwrockets]

I have the same nit pick with all sub sims: the diving alarm. The diving alarm is sounded under 2 conditions: diving (2 blasts) and emergency surface (3 blasts). Bringing the boat to the surface does not require the sounding of the alarm. Enjoying the series.

[@adamtruong1759]

If anything, you're really making the IJN think due to the heavy loss of ASW craft near Attu. Probably struck fear onto the crews of other ships. Heck, there's a possibility that they even make your sub out like some feared sub ace.

Im pretty shure you can perfectly do a gunnery duel with the CH class, they only have 37-46mm guns, you have a vastly better gun Secondly this small sub campaign makes me whish you would make a silent hunter campaign with the class III U-boat, a campaign with those small coastals would be great (if you need to continue beyond the retirement of the class you should transfer to a class IX uboat and get trasfered to the monsoon gruppe on the pacific)

[@Munky332]

You mean a Type IIA/Type IIB? I believe the class III is a much older WW1 class. I thought he did a Type II campaign, albeit not recently?

[@moalzaben5554]

Hey Wolfpack, for more luck try patrolling near the komondorski islands or the shipping lanes from the home islands to Kiska and Attu, or maybe u can let the map help u, u obviously know the map that shows the shipping lanes, imagine if u took part in the battle of the komondorski islands, a great opportunity to sink a heavy cruiser

Bad luck so far with merchants but dispatching all those ASW ships has been impressive. Those little shallow draft ships are hard targets, especially for the mark 10s

The irony is that depriving the Japanese of their ASW assets near the Attu Islands may lead them to realize that holding the Attu Islands is a total waste of their resources and assets.

Found this. “As the submarine descends, the bathythermograph indicates the temperature at every depth. When the bathythermograph shows that the temperature has dropped, it indicates that a thermal layer exists at that depth. Diving below one of these layers is a good way to escape an enemy ASW vessel”

I wandered into your channel....Can you tell me how to get a second German submarine in a U-Boat? To tell the truth, I've been trying to find an answer for 2 years. Maybe you know....

[@Lowkeh]

Do you mean in the game called "U-Boat"? In that game there's only the one you start with, the Type VII. However, if you see friendly submarines on the map you can click them and set waypoints for them. The developers have mentioned that they'd like to add the Type IX and the Type XXI, but that was years ago. In some of the Silent Hunter games, If i recall correctly, you can transfer to other submarines/u-boats and harbours/ports/bases if you have got enough "renown". It depends on which Silent Hunter game we're talking about, though.

[@genuinsanity]

[@rhysmodica2892]

Greetings from U-72, I believe I know the reason why your mis-identification still scored you a hit. Knowing the target type only helps with the target's range or spread angle. But in the torpedo triangle, range has practically no effect since the deflection angle remains the same much like a wind triangle in cross country flying remains the same. Range has the slightest impact because the torpedo has to travel for a while to line up with the deflection and so this parallax type problem means there is a little bit of an allowance that depends on range. But in general terms, it has little effect.

[@Raptor747]

Man, it'd have been hilarious if you'd been able to transmit to the enemy, in the open and unencrypted, "Feed me more subchasers."
