Had a U-96 moment in Scapa Flow, I was grounded on the sea floor and had to repair it fast bc my oxygen was running low. Uboat is truely a great experience
@@BigMek456 : Felix Schmidt wouldn't be able to join the Luftwaffe - he'd be sent to a military prison. Later he would be put in a penal unit and sent to perform hard labour, like building coastal defences.
Very nice. I just did this mission but had some really bad hicups with 3 of my torps with magnetic pistols exploding before hitting the target. I had to sit on the bottom to reload and the destroyer passed over and went to the royal oak, so I was able to come back up and fire off more torps to finish off both ships. Big tip for anyone playing on realistic difficulty, the t2's are free for a reason.
Your escape from Scapa was interesting. For mine I was pursued by a PT boat, and there were a few destroyers patrolling around outside. I had to redirect north to "officially" escape lol
For me there was one destroyer across the way that shot off flares but i managed to just leave like in the video with no restriction i wonder what determines how hard it is
@storm___ Interestingly, on my first transit through the channel I ALSO had an event where I court martialed a guy, and I think it was even the same crew member. There seems to be some amount of predetermined "events" but the details are randomized
Yes, you certainly added insult to injury. A frustrated Churchill will not forget once it becomes known that U-137 was responsible for the torpedo strike and relatively easy escape from Scapa Flow. Great story telling!
"Can go over to the recruitment area" Soldiers come running over and salute "Ah you guys don't have anyone good" Soldier sniffs while tears start forming in his eyes
Let's see you sunk one of only two Brit 16" equipped battleships, as well as an aircraft carrier, in the most guarded Anchorage of the Royal Navy. Then you traversed the Channel, stopping to board and scuttle an enemy freighter, and you didn't even get a tuba player to welcome the conquering heroes. Pretty cheesy reception for one of the greatest missions completed in Kriegsmarine history.
I have noticed when you come to the surface right next to a freighter you can contact the crew immediately, even before any of your own crew have exited your sub. So far in 4/4 cases the freighter evacuates and then you can also immediately send an engineer to scutle the freighter. All of that before the freighter even gets alerted.
I am convinced that the US Navy uses your footage as educational doctrine for ASW and effective hunter killer tactics. Keep it up Wolf, motivating action as per usual!
Interesting Scapa Flow escape. I tried to escape through the southern route in a Type VII once and ran into a minefield that so damaged the boat that I had to go back to a previous save to escape to the east! One item that is helpful are the CO2 Scrub pads. These help with improving the O2 supply when submerged, but these is an increase in noise. They are good to use when using the Depth Charge explosions to hide the detection as you run at full speed for a few minutes. You have to balance the risk vs the reward.
I just did the Enigma recovery mission. The hardest part is torpedoing the destroyer and corvette guarding the wreck. Just torp them from a distance (they're stationary), and make sure your torps are reliable. You'll also need to have a diving suit with your equipment.
While Felix might have a point about that freighter at the coast, im baffled why he doesn't overlook that considering that Kaleun Wolfpack has sunk two capital ships within scapa.
That IS (or was) in fact the Royal Oak - you're supposed to take this mission early in the war, basically you're the one doing it instead of Prien. The game just doesn't account for the fact that you take the mission later, basically Prien never does his thing in it. Some missions can expire (e.g. the Norwegian Campaign) but this one does not for whatever reason.
Sinking ships outside of a patrol mission does contribute to tonnage. I completed the tonnage objectives while doing the mine laying missions. I rarely take patrol missions unless thats the only option i have
This would probably be about the best time to sail through the chanel. The invasion threat from summer 1940 is past, so the royal navy would probably a lot less keen on sending destroyers out to patrol the channel and potentially get sunk by Luftwaffe bombers when they were increasingly needing them in the north atlantic.
Man it’s the great videos like this is why I subscribe to you man. Watching these videos made me buy the game and I’m pushing almost 80hrs in the game in less than a week thank you man for all your great content. 💪🏽💪🏽
Thank you for these Uboat videos, they seem to be getting shorter but you do have other good content that your working on so i understand , i do enjoy this series alot and would like to see more
Seeing you sail into port just reminds me how you don’t need everything to be so realistic with glowing shaders to have such a fun game. It looks like one of the old Microsoft vehicle simulator games from way back when but holy shit this game is really fun.
What! Less than twenty min.... I can watch these missions for at least an hour and a half! Great fun to watch, hopefully you can make them a bit longer! Having said that, great stuff mate, keep them coming.
Awesome vid! I will say Scapa Flow seems surprisingly underwhelming. I seem to recall it was quite the experience to infiltrate in SHIII, with a plethora of targets and lots of defenses to dodge. It's been a long time so maybe I'm wrong...
felix was upset you needlessly put the boat and the sailors in danger to sink the freighter after prepping the torpedos and you court martial him how sad
Wilhelmshafen is one of Germany's largest seaports behind only Kiel and Hamburg. Then as today.Only difference then it was a Kriegsmarine port. Now oddly enough they build cruise ships and container ships.
Amazing run! Fun fact: While I was evading a depth charge attack in that area near the British coast, the destroyer exploded and sank when it dropped the charges. It was amazing and very lucky as they almost got me before I turned.
I just completed this mission the other day, I ended up having to take southern route to escape the sub net and ships looking for me(thank goodness for game saves) ... It took three torpedo's to sink the Battleship, and only one for the carrier.
Hey Wolfpack! It has been a little while since I played, but I do think anytime you sink merchant ships it goes to any of the Tonnage missions. 100% sure. I should have waited 5 minutes before posting a comment :)
Look at through his eyes..You take a suicide mission to scapa flow after the first attack then you go through the English Channel.. suicidal captain..lol
He basically need to be fast with the campaign objectives. The beginning of the game is quite intense and you can't afford slacking on basic patrols to either get all the unique skills or finishing campaigns giving BPs. After that it's less of an issue.
Hi Wolfpack, I was wondering if you are able to perform missions from the “Southern routes” campaign. Whenever I try one it does not count for the campaign progression…
After severa tries I found out the number in the progression is the number of ships you inspect, not the “chapter” of the “Southern Routes” campaign. At first you start at 0/3 meaning that in the first mission you accept you’ll have to inspect at least 3 ships. If you complete this task, you’ll move to chapter 2 and you’ll be required to inspect a total of 8 ships
Sounds like Felix was criticizing sinking British capital ships. Sounds like Felix was criticizing higher command for the orders you were following. Sounds like Felix is going up against the wall.
Have you had any glaring issues with the ship bundle beta? My game crashes whenever I sink a carrier… or at least this type of carrier that I sunk today
Not sure why you only had 1 Destroyer in Scapa, the minimum i ever had was 5, usually more. Also all the battleships in this game are of the Nelson class, so basicly you did sink the Royal Oak.
The cheek of the man, you infiltrate scapa flow, sink some target's and then escape successfully and i think undetected and yet he disagrees with some of the captain's decision's, should of shot him and through him overboard, difficult decision i know but units commanders did not have the luxury of diplomatic relations with lower ranked member's of the crew, Also i would like to ask being as there are not many sh3 & u-boat playthroughs could you possibly extend them to 30 or 40 minutes ? pretty please, but if not due to time and other commitments then no worries as i am appreciative of what you do release,
I wish food could be purchased directly into the galley (similar to how torpedoes and ammo can be bought into tubes and guns, respectively). Edit: Also, taking pretty aggressive action against a Vichy ship (or the modder forgot the Lorraine Cross lol)
Quick question, I recently bought a laptop for studies mainly but was wondering if uboat is somewhat playable on laptop, I know that it depends on the laptop but considering its an average 400+€ laptop could it run the game? I would greatly appreciate any advice from anyone who knows anything
You can. Not many upgrades for the Type II and VIIB but once he finally gets blueprints to the VIIC and VIIC/41, it will all come along with the snorkel, three tiers of batteries, several radar warning receivers types, hydrophones, coning towers and most importantly... The better piping for the damn toilets so the sailors can take a dump in the middle of a depth charge attack!
Ah, HMS Royal Oak...the unknown Nelson class BB! And I didn't know the Illustrious class were escort carriers. 😆 One would think they would've put more RN ships in the game instead of just one design to represent them all. While the graphics in this game are amazing...I'll still stick with the old reliable SH3 and the Grey Wolves Expansion Pack.
I'm packing my toys and going home until someone fixes the visibility problem.Two watch officers on duty and I still get bombed out of the blue........ it's not funny
This game... Why does getting the crew to take a depth sounding seem to be more difficult than sinking ships in Scapa Flow? There is just no tension - unless you run out of cheese.
Wolfpack left us waiting too long after that cliffhanger. Clearly he's in dereliction of his duties. His decisions about the release schedule are concerning. There's only one thing we can do. Felix was right. We must mutiny. What say you boys?
Had a U-96 moment in Scapa Flow, I was grounded on the sea floor and had to repair it fast bc my oxygen was running low.
Uboat is truely a great experience
Felix: “Captain should have used a torpedo instead of putting us all risk by getting so close to those Brits!” Wolfgang: “GET OUT!”
I imagine the caleb city "GET OUT" when i read your comment
Walk the plank Felix, you lil female canine.
He should join the Luftwaffe if hes that much of a coward. Hes clearly not fit nor couragerous enough for being a sailor on a German U Boat!

Great Fun 🤩

Felix: I get scuttling the ship, but why did he lock the crew in the engine room first. That's just mean,...
The K98 would be handy when boarding ships.
honestly I've never once had an event where it was clear that either the helmet or the k98 was ever useful
@@mathiasrryba I make leaders equip helmets so they can have it while using the deck gun/AA gun

The game does not have a model for Revenge class BBs and what WP sunk was indeed either Nelson or Rodney as per the model in Scapa Flow
13:50 poor MF got court martialed for complaining had me burst off my morning coffee 😂😂
Cant explain how much i enjoy watching U-boat gameplay from Wolfpack
Sinking ships outside of a patrol mission does contribute to tonnage. I completed the tonnage objectives while doing the mine laying missions. I rarely take patrol missions unless thats the only option i have
Wolfpack thanks for all videos you make. Your videos make my day.❤

My crew has had tuberculosis, fights until one has been injured. Fell from conning tower. It's been rough for my Captain dealing with a bunch of BS.

Except for felix i guess 😂
Do you get an elektroboot in this game?
I've been waiting for this video!!
Discovered your channel the other day and it really is a hidden gem.
What! Less than twenty min.... I can watch these missions for at least an hour and a half! Great fun to watch, hopefully you can make them a bit longer! Having said that, great stuff mate, keep them coming.
Shoulda got Felix to scrub topside for the trip home after that outburst. Mans is going to answer for his rebellion to the Reicht! 😂😂
Whew! Glad you got out of Scapa Flow. Almost too easy. Maybe that Felix Schmidt was a Tommy sympathizer!
Clearly, that guy wanted you to turn North and torpedo that destroyer
yay finally another u boat gameplay getting worried on how much longer it take XD
Awesome vid! I will say Scapa Flow seems surprisingly underwhelming. I seem to recall it was quite the experience to infiltrate in SHIII, with a plethora of targets and lots of defenses to dodge. It's been a long time so maybe I'm wrong...

As always epic! You are now both feared and hated! Good job! 😁

Love your videos! Hope Sea Power has been as fun as it looks!
Maybe Felix saw the future and that Aircraft carrier you let burn in modern times lol.
Another great video, thanks
Felix certified youtube chatter
Great video as always!
Really enjoy the WWII content!
The devs are going to improve sinking physics soon after their break and just announced the Type IX DLC with new missions for it, let's gooo
Look at through his eyes..You take a suicide mission to scapa flow after the first attack then you go through the English Channel.. suicidal captain..lol
So, game. Will Wolfpack get the big boys boat (VIIB)? They were commissioning these by 1940.
Hopefully soon!
He basically need to be fast with the campaign objectives. The beginning of the game is quite intense and you can't afford slacking on basic patrols to either get all the unique skills or finishing campaigns giving BPs. After that it's less of an issue.
How did you get around the Uboat nets ?
You should have used the Officer picked up in Vigo in the Headquarters to enable ACADEMY!
I like all your videos
I appriciate it
Felix was never heard from again.
Schmidt will be a fine soldat in a Penal Battalion clearing minefields for Operation Barbarossa...in 6.5 months.
Comment for the metrics! Another excellent episode as always!
Great content as always!
Appreciate it!
ID LIKE TO SEE A JAPANESE EXPANSION, I know this is a “u-boat” game but being able to play as an I-400 or a Type A would be a dream come true
Why didn't you use Heligoland for resupply?
hell yeah more wolfpack
I really nejoy those videos. You have a great voice
Could you make these videos longer? Would love it
Imsgine criticizing Wolfpack's tactical choices!!!! Straight to JAIL ( or the front lines) for that guy!!!
Considering the death rate on Uboats, I'm sure Admiral Dönitz would keep him on the boats. Dead sailors don't say anything bad about the Reich
Is there a Schnelleboote series?
I'm telling you, it was a lone destroyer, we could have engaged it!
Hi Wolfpack, I was wondering if you are able to perform missions from the “Southern routes” campaign. Whenever I try one it does not count for the campaign progression…
Yeah same it's bugged. That's unfortunately how it is at the moment.

Maybe southern Russia will give Felix an attitude adjustment.
Alright! I've been eagerly awaiting this video...
Have you had any glaring issues with the ship bundle beta? My game crashes whenever I sink a carrier… or at least this type of carrier that I sunk today
It was a known bug, they fixed it. You shouldn't crash anymore when trying to sink a carrier.
Not sure why you only had 1 Destroyer in Scapa, the minimum i ever had was 5, usually more. Also all the battleships in this game are of the Nelson class, so basicly you did sink the Royal Oak.
Great Work
Just wondering is the diving skill for "diving the boat" or for "divers"?
For divers diving on sunken wrecks to inspect cargo, retrieve enigma, u-boat crew rescue, etc.
The cheek of the man, you infiltrate scapa flow, sink some target's and then escape successfully and i think undetected and yet he disagrees with some of the captain's decision's, should of shot him and through him overboard, difficult decision i know but units commanders did not have the luxury of diplomatic relations with lower ranked member's of the crew,
