Blame the one in the command who thought it was a good idea to give them the electric torpedos, which were known to fail in the early stage of the war. For the failure of the torpedoes mainly two components were responsible: the depth control and the combat pistol with the ignition device. In the case of the torpedoes, which were regularly too deep and therefore running under the targets, it turned out that the maximum deviation of the preset depth was not half a meter as planned, but up to three meters. This was caused by too high air pressure inside the torpedoes. As a result, the valve, which determined the depth from the difference in internal pressure of the torpedo and the surrounding water pressure, drove the torpedo deeper than intended. The high pressure in the position control chambers of the torpedoes arose because they were not airtight and the pressure in the torpedo interior increased when the submarine ejected during his diving trips compressed air inside the boat. The fact that the submarines were frequently submerged by the British Defense Forces for a long time further aggravated this problem. The errors in the depth control, however, could not explain the misfires. Here was the cause of the ignition mechanism whose sensitive relay moved because of the drive vibrations, thereby triggering the ignition contact. The aggravating factor was that the natural fluctuations and irregularities of the earth's magnetic field in the northern latitudes also had an effect on the magneto-ignition. The impact detonators were able to cause a deflagration of the initial charge due to insufficient premature flaws of the firing pin and fail at angles of impact of less than 50 ° due to jamming. A literary source, on the other hand, assumes that the demagnetization of the enemy ships deployed in front of Norway and the failure to take into account the fast-changing currents in the Norwegian fjords played a major role in the shooting training of the submarine commanders. Already in the fall of 1939, under the chairmanship of the former chief constructor of the torpedo Ernst-August Cornelius, a consortium was founded, which was able to eliminate the problems relatively quickly. Through a multitude of small changes, the depth control has been improved and the problem of the sensitive relay of the combat pistol has been improved by an improved suspension. From the summer of 1940, the G7 torpedo was considered war-worthy and was fully used again from 1941. Later in the war, torpedoes were developed by the German side, which ran pressure-independent program or Horchpeilung, such as the Wren, FAT or LUT. The US Navy had similar problems in the Second World War, which were known under the term torpedo scandal.
Being hunted by a submarine must have been one of the most unnerving things in WW2.
They didn't know they were being hunted. That was the real terror of a submarine attack. They just appeared out of nowhere and wrought havoc.
WWI also
@@ancientgear7192 and also the fight for survival against the wolfpack when it attacks for the second time.
1.25 speed for Space Wolves chapter rocking out with their naval forces.
Fuck the space wolves. Thousand son's every time bich!
@@ancientgear7192 da ork boys is stronger
@@dwayne7201 No, we don't say that here.
No an imperial kriegsmarien
you should have all the subs in this world your work is truly amazing!!
WOW!!!!euhh.....Thank you very much ! XD
Your Welcome, I really would like if you did an anti-nightcore of a song called 1741 (Battle of Cartagena) by Alestorm
alright ! ^^
Thank You very much!! :) ˆˆ
Yeah, we like subs.
406 suffers failure at launch
Sounds like 406 was made to suffer
Totally awesome,thanks so much, keep up the great work
thnak you !!^^
Hell yeah great music
now thats impressive !
Thank you very much for the video (=
1.75x speed sounds like happy Wolfpack
why 6:02 is so awsome?
cause you're awesome !
@@nigelsgames6858 XD
brilliant )
Very nice! :-)
May I add Long Live the King to my requests? ;-)
Thank you.
of course !!
If you make it, it will be extremely cool ;)
U-boat
Guys!!! Wach the movie greyhound.. to understand this song...
Better to see das boot my friend
can you do anti nightcore Down The Ashes by Rain with a demon Melissa from seven deadly sins please
no probs ^^
sorry you mean demon MELIODAS ?!!
Could you try Sabaton Dreadnought?
406 most worthless submarine in history
