Was gonna post something similar - and Depth Charges work in it now too. In the early previews they accidentally disabled them. But they're making progress. Ship inspections and false flags is an interesting new twist too.

[@Rex1987]

the biggest problems with U boat is 1) the missions are just not interesting nor well designed 2) the crew mangement system is more like prison architect and less like SH4 where you have different crews working in shifts. Also you can add sailors to an officer but you cant add the maximum number of saliors because then you gain penailtes that make no sense.

[@therealinak]

FOTRSU and particularly the S boat campaign lends itself heavily to Dick O’Kane method. You don’t have to flip through that awful massive ID booklet and deal with screwing up range and the bad weather means you have to fire at sound tracks fairly often. This is the perfect campaign for trying and demonstrating some extreme O’Kane shots.

[@joetrenchfoot7101]

First class work Herr Wolfpack ! Been a fan of your work for some time now but this S Boat series is very well done. Bravo ! I recently started playing Silent Hunter 3 and 4, AGAIN.

[@ghostdog688]

30:35 - remember also that mark 10's fell afoul of running deep also. im not familiar enough with your modset to say if you misidentified a vessel, but given the magnetic worked, id suggest instead they ran a few feet too deep :D

[@Wolfpack345]

I looked at the log and the identification was correct. I think they just went under like you said. Either they malfunctioned or the bobbing up and down of the ship in the rough seas saved her haha,

[@Makapaa]

@@Wolfpack345 Running deep happens a lot (at least in my experience) when weather gets rough in SH4. If waves allow, I often find needing to set my mk14's almost 10ft shallower to get hits. Magnetics help some, but.. * shrug *

man its been more than a decade but crew sounds and alert sounds in this game always gets me i just fricking love to listen this sounds

[@markusschilk4789]

I learned it during my weapons-course for becoming a submariner in the german navy. If the cavitation sound becomes louder and then more quieter and than again louder and so one. We called it the "Ein-aus-Effekt" . It stands for small vessels, because of the waves. If it´s sounds like a smacking, it´s compressed cavitation. It´s a large ship with draught. The bubbles will be more compressed, because of the pressure in the deeper water. Most merchant ships only got one propeller. The sound is very clear. You can listen to the single propeller blades. If it´s becomes unclear, you got more contacts or a warship, because they often had more propellers.

This series is interesting, but I'm also waiting for the next episode North Atlantic Hunter. I propose an Arctic station mission - it will also be an intelligence operation. For an introduction to this mission, please see Donald Sutherland's in great movie Ice Station Zebra (1968). The movie is still very nice, based on good literature and a bit on the facts. It's a good inspiration and your movie will definitely refer to that. Greetings.

I wish I could get the silent hunter games to work for me. I managed to get SH3 to work most of the time, but SH4 and SH5 just crash or have other problems. UBoat works well but I like having different boats to choose from (I realize this may be added in the future but at the time of this comment it's just the type VII).

Are u running mods?

[@haraldhardrada5628]

1. run it at administrator 2. install 4 GB patch 3. run it as Windows xp That’s how it works

[@stevedonkers9087]

I can get them running, they just crash in weird places.. SH4 crashes if I save or load a save that was near a port, for example. SH5 just randomly crashes. I installed the 4GB patch and I tried running in compatibility mode and as administrator. I looked up fixes. I did try modding SH5 with one of the large mods and it worked for a while and then just stopped working and would crash to desktop on start. I've got UBoat now though, but there's still something about the SH games that just feels right (not knocking the UBoat devs, it's a great game and I think it'll be on par with SH soon).

[@haraldhardrada5628]

@@stevedonkers9087 hm that’s strange I don’t know what’s the matter than I know that sh4 also crashes when you have save files from other versions or mods , try to delete them all and then try it , otherwise it could be a problem of your computer 🤷🏻‍♂️ To be honest , silent hunter with mods is the greatest subsim of all time , but I worked like 1 year to get it worked, I know the pain you suffer :)

What would this skipper give for a boat that can dive to over 100m /330ft without crumpling up like an old tin can? Allied radar was better but they took forever to start welding pressure hulls.

Having been on one of the US fleet submarines (USS Batfish), as well as a Type IX boat, and a later Cold War-era Soviet Tango class (a diesel electric that was sort of a second generation development of the Type XXI, the US fleet submarines were relatively luxurious for their crews and well equipped for the era. It's not hard to see why the US had a lot more success in their submarine war. The Batfish was a far more comfortable ship to work in relative to the Tango.

Nothing could dive as fast as a Type VII, but it was only two-thirds the size of a Type IX or a Gato. Alarm!
