Way better than I was expecting... but I think I can do better...

It polished out haha! Fairly epic knife fight in a telephone box in the Royal Navy boat, too...

Oh, yeah, it was. But when I saw a sudden torpedo dropped from a plane no one heard and which destroyed the boat, I was like "Oh, no, not again", as I remembered that a similar thingy destroyed the Permit I was commanding, the USS Gato (SSN-612), and caused me to lose my '68 campaign. But the HMS Valiant pulled out an exciting duel as well, I agree

@SherlockCP Oh yes. Sudden torpedo death. STD. Seems like a catchy name for it! You know, I should at least try the 1968 campaign again. Or maybe just a mission. I guess I'm just weird about not dying seemingly immediately time after time after time! 😎

@@DavidSteele Ahaha, fitting name, indeed. And when it comes to 1968 campaign and missions, that campaign has no missiles and weak torpedoes - unguided Mark 16s and slow-but-deadly (SBD) Mk.37s

@SherlockCP So kinda a bit like going from a Skipjack to a Dreadnought... wait... no maybe not...

Thanks Daniel. You're still online too so that's good. 👍

Yessir. Usually, my boomer missions go extremely quietly or... let's just say... not so well. I wasn't expecting such an easy victim. I'm also pretty sure most boomer commanders would let the target go rather than risk compromising their boat, even if they couldn't detect anything else...

Ivan was on hangover and didn't see it coming. But all jokes aside, I think the same way. Boomers, the SSBNs and SSBs, are too valuable to engage other boats. If I was a skipper of such boat, I'd not risk anything and tried to leave the area pretending we never was there

@SherlockCP one could be the Magic Man. Now you see me... Now you don't. Wait. Wrong genre! lol

@@DavidSteele I'll be playing magician now lmao. Hocus pocus, Tango implodus. Ivan, how are you down there? Ivan? Oh, wait...

@SherlockCP hahahaha Tango Implodus, now that's a spell I'd like to try! 😅🤣

I'm not sure. The video likely won't be seen by many...

@@DavidSteele Maybe there is enough time. I don't think a lot of people would get it. ;)

@azimuth2142 I think that's perfect, then. 👍🥰 I don't want to upset anyone with my bad taste jokes, but if I did, that wouldn't be in the lead haha!

We did! Whales successfully saved. ❤️😎

Thank you!

Exactly that!

But that Tango tried its best to get Tireless. Let's skip that her skipper failed miserably and got Tigerfish'd out of existence. Definitely Ivan had some skill issue today xD

Every once in a while, I run into an experienced and slippery enemy skipper... Today wasn't that day!

Yes. Usually you get _something_ by actively pinging, even if it's a SET-65 up the jacksee, but this time... Absolutely nothing...

Thanks Daniel. There are generally American Truck Simulator videos weekly but I'm not able to piece together videos very easily right now. It'll get easier in the coming days and weeks...

@DavidSteele hey david, sorry if I said something to offend ya. Good luck with your living situation

No absolutely not sir! 😎

It's like... If I can, I will, and it feels wonderfully therapeutic to give the crew time to evacuate before sinking her! 😎

I hear you! I think International were happy to polarize opinions about it. I'm still undecided. It's... just a bit unconventional, or it's trying too hard. I can't decide!

That's Cold Waters, by... um... Killerfish Games I believe. And thank you!

Right? I didn't get so much as a sniff of the enemy boat... 🤐😔

Yes it is - it's a bit more than "more of the same" as it introduces need challenges and limits. Enemy submarines are much more likely to use depth to evade, and torpedoes are harder to shake. I've a learning curve between the two flavors of Cold Waters. 👍❤️

Happy New Year 2025 back at you! 🥳

...the lonely last dive. Yes sir, it was.

HMS Tireless proved she's a dominant on seas. By the way, Happy New Year

@SherlockCP she did in this video but *cough* later in the week *cough cough* Happy New Year back at you too! And Happy House Moving Day for me... 😔🫣🤞😮

@@DavidSteele The sub just found a penny... At the seafloor Oh, you moved to a new house? I hope it will be as good as the previous one was, then

@SherlockCP Yessir. Me too. I guess we'll find out... ...and yes. There are two more Tireless videos to follow. Maybe three.

Thanks Daniel - you too. Things will be a little unsettled for the next few days as we're moving house...

That's good feedback, thank you. Mmm.

I clicked this thinking it was a clip of a movie and was wondering why it was 20min long.

@Novafro ...that's a pretty good idea! It might not be impossible to create a trailer of a fictional movie using Cold Waters haha!

This is part one of three of four. Not so parts went as smoothly..! 😮🤣

Yes sir, thank you! I think so.

Thank you! I think it was something of a warm up routine: away from UA-cam it's been a busy couple of weeks, so I'm trying to carve out some time to piece together a few videos next week. Maybe just maybe involving Dot Mod 0.4c and the Trafalgar-class boat...

I see, I see. Welp, I understand that some days or even weeks may be busy, it happens to everyone, after all. We have work or studies in our lives and they require lots of our time And the Trafalgar class coming, thanks for listening to my humble request. I should prepare for some nice show with that class involved

@SherlockCP We're about to move, so, yeah. 😎 And this one... today I sank a "fishing boat" that I'm _absolutely sure_ was a Russian ELINT monitoring boat...

@@DavidSteele Ah, yes, in Soviet Russia fish spy you

@SherlockCP Hahah! Well the Russians used fishing trawlers as ELINT boats for a time and they looked suspicious...

It's absolutely fitting most of the time, haha!

Copy that! I'm relearning the Dot Mod Tigerfish all over again in 0.4c and it's a brutal lesson to be sure...

Ahhhhh thank you!

Yes that sounds about right, and makes sense - you wouldn't know if you got something unless you detected it..?

Thank you! You too!

@DavidSteele Thanks a lot!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas right back at you...

Merry Christmas at you too! 🥰

Thank you! Cold Waters has a definite learning curve, and, I get taught new tricks all the time especially by Dot Mod... but it's easier to pick up than a lot of them out there and dispenses with the micromanagement of some games, too. Might be worth picking up in a sale..?

Lol!! 🤣😂

lolol please imagine the "ba dum tsssshhhh" meme, but I'm not able to put it in a UA-cam comment. This video was strangely satisfying to produce. I tried the same scenario in the Seawolf-class boat right afterwards and it was much harder, but probably because I am used to the Skipjack II. And I really want to try this using the Swiftsure and the Tigerfish / Spearfish combination...

*badum tsshh * Anyway, I found an analogy to my struggle in SH4 on the SSN-585 mod here. Once at the beginning was pretty hard (let's skip free nuclear tanning I done for myself because I forgot that I had such torpedo onboard. Skill issue xD), now it's as easy as hitting yourself in your small toe in the middle of night. And after checking other mods, that is for the SSN-688 class or the Thresher/Permit class, I think that Skipjacks, despite being hard to learn, are the best, although I still love playing on the SSN-700 and randomly dropping quotes from "The Hunt for Red October". And I think that Swiftsure with the Tigerfish and Spearfish torpedoes combo may sound pretty interesing. Also, I'd love to see a Trafalgar-class SSN in action someday :D

Oh yes, the Trafalgar-class... she's like the Swiftsure but just a little bit improved. But yes absolutely. As I remember the class is in DotMod, but it's also in another mod I've played around with.

I won't be screaming "whoo yeah!", I'm not a fanboy. But, nonetheless, that's nice to hear. Since we know capabilities of Swiftsure, Trafalgar shouldn't be THAT different, right? Right? Anyway, sorry for changing the topic so suddenly but have you ever tried to play Soviet boats, like the Sierra class or the Alfa class?

@SherlockCP I have and I did and I, wait, is that a cheesecake..? Yeah I have my first attempt in the channel. It didn't go very well! And I haven't been back into the Russian boat recently (but you know I absolutely should, because how hard can it _really_ be?).

Thanks Daniel! We'll see how things go in the next few days! ❤️😎🏠

Yes, I agree, but I enjoy driving the Volvo engines too...

lol true about the damage. And yes - welcome back... 😎❤️

lol yes sir. I'd follow up by uttering, "...they had it coming..!"

Thank you! There was an awful lot going on in the early minutes, kinda hard to keep narrating when there are too many things to talk about! 😝😎

@ some people say sub missions are boring but this is a proper dogfight, super exciting! Done similar to Jive Turkey level, which I regard the best on yt, since he’s a professional nuclear submariner and sonar man

@raa729 I'm going to have to check the channel out. And likely work on my narration...! Thank you for the kind words. ❤️❤️

@@DavidSteele narration is very good! Enjoy your vids. Do you plan to play Sea Power?

@raa729 thank you - very kind. And... not yet. 😎😝

*sigh* got it thanks. That's what happens when you don't double check your videos... :/ Thank you!

@DavidSteele ur welcome. Sorry if I upset ya

Ooh lol no of course not! I upset me...

Yes, those are what I've read too, along with a torpedo launch is +20dB, but sometimes the enemy detects you or loses you outside of the 10dB range. Or at least that seems to happen, and sometimes the enemy either detects the launch or detects the torpedo a few seconds after launch, and it's hard to tell either way. 👍 A senior US Navy officer described the British Tigerfish torpedo as lethal because it's quiet; I've played around with the Tigerfish and set the noise levels to match what I saw online, and yes, having a quiet torpedo (even if it's slow!) can make a massive difference to how lethal the weapon is. But I don't have any of my sources to hand to show where the information comes from, and I'm pretty sure the precise information isn't officially documented either, so it's kinda all hearsay. Educated guesswork, perhaps?

Wow! That's what your mom said, too.

Yes to everything! I could attempt to set up a custom mission with various types acting as a picket, that would make more sense for sure. And yes sir the Skipjack had a towed array, but perhaps not in her final years. As I understand, the towed array was stowed in a torpedo tube and attached once out of port by a team of divers - the class wasn't designed with a towed array in mind. But thank you for your kind words! ❤️

I'm happy to help - thank you for your kind words! 🥰 SCS released the Return to Winter Wonderland today and I believe they've added snow too - but Grimes' Frosty winter weather mod is superb.

@@DavidSteele Thanks for that info. I'll have to check that out. I do enjoy this game but am a horrible driver in it, even on dry pavement, so I expect some snow will result in some fun chaos lol

I suspect the AI doesn't really know how to play nice in this environment... So it seems a little unfair. Yes, well... #lokimeme 😈

@@DavidSteele A win is a win

@azimuth2142 or as I watched in my "Understanding Texas for British chaps" documentary, "if you ain't first, you're last!" 😂

Yessir - this was an interesting mission and scenario, and I really wasn't sure how well it would go. I knew the potential... but... then there's the Numpty factor!

lol!! A video I recorded last night had me evading and evading and evading and I was just happy to survive at the end of it!
