At 13:10 when you tried to hit the corvets the issue wasnt the accuracy of the torpedoes but the travel depth!

Ah, so corvettes should be shoot at with magnetic detonator active? Recently done the enigma mission and thought it was a bug that the torpedo just went under the ship.

In total, 66 attacks were recorded by the Brazilian Navy on German submarines in the South Atlantic, which resulted in the damage or sinking of 18 submarines off the Brazilian coast, of which nine - U-128, U-161, U-164, U-199 , U-513, U-590, U-591, U-598 and U-662 - were officially recorded by the German Navy as having been sunk by the Brazilian Navy.
Always good to see more Uboat content out there. For the duds where it says AZ you can click that and turn it to Magnetic. Angles don't matter on magnetic detonated but AZ (impact) they do. You can also spend your reputation to research tech and upgrade the boat if you have a spare officer in port. The last one has a 20mm Flak 38 which is the quad barrel AA!
Reminds me of ol' Silent Hunter 3 and 4. Late war in 3 was hell on Earth. 4 meanwhile had the problem of the campaign getting *easier* the longer it went on because you played US submariners in the Pacific. Props to 4 for the authentic Mark 14 torpedo experience. You don't know what true rage is if you haven't spent over 2 hours sneaking up and setting up a perfect shot on a japanese carrier, firing your forward tubes, watching them run straight and true right into that flattops' side... and then hearing four *CLUNK!* sounds in rapid succession.
I love this game, I usually play this with 98% realism, plotting the torpedo course manully is just so satisfying. Also order your engineer to conduct torpedo maintenance before the attack to reduce duds
@@2Links pretty easy actually, especially when you have the map icons on. Its also from my experience faster and more reliable than the ai. You can do everything from the periscope just wait until you have a good 90° angle on the enemy ship if you dont want to cheat with the map tools
@@2Links Once you understand what the meassurements necessary are, and how you aquire them manually, the Torpedo Data Computer does all the heavy lifting. You use a stopwatch and let the ship travel bow to stern across your periscope, which gives you speed, you reference the book on how long the ship is, do some math or look up a table for the time conversion. Same for distance, you measure the ship mast to waterline, which lets you estimate distance, then you need to know angle on bow, and the TDC basically calculates the firing solution based on simple trigonometry.
The devs are using the model as a placeholder for now since their focus is on fixing any bugs and other issues with the game right now but that caught me off guard too lol
The game looks good but I feel like SH3 GWX captured that Das Boot feeling better. That constant "ping" sound from destroyers and depth charge explosions when you are underwater hoping it to be all over was pure terror.

A good tip for deck gun usage against freighters: When you shoot a ships hull shoot at one point for a bit to make a hole and fire like 1 or 2 shots in that hole and repeat until its health is gone then you wait for it to flood
When it comes to aircraft its usually best to just crash dive as soon as you spot it, rather than risk damage or death from the depth charges. At least that worked in pre-release.
@@MaugriMGER when I played pre-release I would usually have enough time to dive before the bombers would spot me so I wouldn't have to deal with depth charges at all. As for why they fought back IRL, it is probably because bombers had much worse aim IRL and it's even harder to hit a fast moving and shooting back target, where as you can see ingame you have to get quite lucky to avoid any damage. But that's just speculation.
I bought it in early access but never really started a campaign. I was waiting for the 1.0 release. So, I started a campaign. Did all the tutorials. Accepted my first patrol. All my crew went nuts, died and I got lost before I even encountered a ship. I think I'll start again amd pay more attention to my crew 😂
Herr Kaleun Gosling BTW the AA gun especially the later quad model works really well sinking merchants. AP for damaging the hull at the waterline and HE for starting fires. The Alexandria mission is crazy because you can drop a few magnetic torpedos to break the back of the docked warships, then surface and use the deck gun to hit the little shore guns, and then sail right up to the ships sinking them with impunity. Also you need to set course to zig zag when a bomber is going after you
The little resistance after sinking the royal oak is accurate. The British navy had thought the ship suffered from several internal explosions and didn’t start looking for an attacking uboat until it had already escaped scapa flow
The battleship you sunk at Scarpa flow looks more like a Nelson class. With all its main armament forward. Given how important the sinking of royal oak was to the U-boat campaign I'm surprised the game developers made that mistake. That's my pedantic rant over looks a decent game , thanks
I'd definitely love to see more Uboat vids! This game reminds me of watching OneFJef's Silent Hunter videos and I'm glad to see the genre's still getting games.
Well, if you hit a boat with a torpedo at a very pointy angle, chances are that an impact detonator will not recognize an impact and the torpedo will just bounce off (that's why you had so many duds). Try aiming for a 90° angle if possible, or use magnetic detonators! And yeah, hitting tiny ships like corvettes is hard lol! And I can't believe you had such an easy time in Scapa Flow, I showed up at night, and there were so many destroyers and corvettes, and I hit a mine at some point. I barely got out lol!
Did it a few hours ago and it was really clear, sadly i went in with the first sub and basic torpedoes soo oak ate 5 and didnt have any left for the carrier
I like how royal oak sinking in a spa flow is based on historical accuracy, but they just used a model of a completely different battleship class (HMS Nelson or HMS Rodney)
I just want to say that the shots at the corvettes were spot on, it was just that you set the dispersion so high that while the center of the spread was right on target, the torpedoes were spread out so much they went on either side of the target.
@MaugriMGER Not the first two spreads, they ran right aft and astern from the targets, but with perfect spacing. The default setting should allow you to hit all corvettes in the game though, so unless he messed with the depth settings depth shouldn't be an issue. I think the last one just went right past, but the corvette sailed through the wake afterwards.
That "Full Blown Simulator" is approved by the specifically diagnosed. ;) Also it's weirdly cool that the whole single-player campaign is all about playing as "The No-No Germans". ;)
It's honestly not even uncommon to be able to play as the germans in WWII strategy games. Remember Silent Hunter? (back when Ubisoft still cared about their other actual quite unique franchises, and specifically because its about UBoats as well) - 2,3 and 5 on that also had you play on the german side.
Dude, you are suposed to preheat the torpedoes before shooting, if you don't, they will very likely fail to explode even if the hit the target; if you haven't preheated them and are close to the convoy and haven't been discovered, stalk them some docen miles, it'll do the trick
Try to hit ships directly from the side, you want the lowest degree hit possible. It's actually fairly rare to have a dud on the settings you were on as long as you hit the ship from the side.
My grandfather was a Merchant Marine, nearly got blown up by a UBoat. I'm not offended or anything, I've just have mentally been calling this, 'Kill Grandpa Simulator'.
You convinced me, I just bought it. I used to play Silent Hunter, but since Ubi went to shit I haven't. I saw this on my Steam page occasionally, but am very wary of early access games and didn't buy it. Now I have and that's just because you happened in a suggested video.
Literally had such a similar experience, just got into the game, i think you can turn on the geocompass while under water plus the map withs salors to get unloss 😂
brainrot captain commanded uboat till one of them starts speaking facts about it and eventually one sailor escaped his lobotomized boss in one trip to spain, i definitly watch it on netflix any day of the week
That percentage is not a chance to hit. It’s your solution to target (basically all gathered info like speed, distance, angle and its accuracy). The fact you missed was due to large range. For corvettes it’s hard to hit shots >1km. Generally it’s best to fire early game torpedoes from about 1,5km.
Next time try to reduce the torpedo depth when attacking small units to around 2m deep. For big transport ships around 5-7,5m under water. For destroyer ~3,5m and those small canoniers 1,5m. But in the later years of the war do not attack destroyers. This will result with almost every torpedo spotted when you will miss

I think the last one just went right past, but the corvette sailed through the wake afterwards.
That "Full Blown Simulator" is approved by the specifically diagnosed. ;)
Also it's weirdly cool that the whole single-player campaign is all about playing as "The No-No Germans". ;)
It's honestly not even uncommon to be able to play as the germans in WWII strategy games.
Remember Silent Hunter? (back when Ubisoft still cared about their other actual quite unique franchises, and specifically because its about UBoats as well) - 2,3 and 5 on that also had you play on the german side.
Your gameplay is awesome keep it up with this game I like to see more videos like this to see what will happen next in the campaign
lets goo, i love this game and i was happy enough getting a 1.0 but a vid from you with is amazing
How it feels to fight for Your Nation in the Skibidi Toilet XVII Class KMS Poopenfarten.
Truly Horrifying
I thought this game was cancelled or incomplete. It's been years since I've last seen footage of this game and I really enjoyed the gameplay
This is actually a really cool video idea 👍
Dude, you are suposed to preheat the torpedoes before shooting, if you don't, they will very likely fail to explode even if the hit the target; if you haven't preheated them and are close to the convoy and haven't been discovered, stalk them some docen miles, it'll do the trick
2:25 How tf does a 2024 game about naval warfare have N64 level water physics...
i swear i have never seen this video but i felt heavy deja vu at 11:30 and i knew exactly what was gonna happen after
Try to hit ships directly from the side, you want the lowest degree hit possible.
It's actually fairly rare to have a dud on the settings you were on as long as you hit the ship from the side.
dang it's been a while since I've watched some of your videos, glad you're still posting! Entertaining as always
There is no glory down there, only pain.
My grandfather was a Merchant Marine, nearly got blown up by a UBoat. I'm not offended or anything, I've just have mentally been calling this, 'Kill Grandpa Simulator'.
A "Community" reference in a video about UBOAT? I can die happy
"Im gonna play as myself" good vid ryan gosling
7:34 just imagine being that sailor... Poor lad.
You convinced me, I just bought it.
I used to play Silent Hunter, but since Ubi went to shit I haven't. I saw this on my Steam page occasionally, but am very wary of early access games and didn't buy it. Now I have and that's just because you happened in a suggested video.
Literally had such a similar experience, just got into the game, i think you can turn on the geocompass while under water plus the map withs salors to get unloss 😂
This game is on my wishlist now, thank you so much. Would love more content
brainrot captain commanded uboat till one of them starts speaking facts about it and eventually one sailor escaped his lobotomized boss in one trip to spain, i definitly watch it on netflix any day of the week
That percentage is not a chance to hit. It’s your solution to target (basically all gathered info like speed, distance, angle and its accuracy). The fact you missed was due to large range. For corvettes it’s hard to hit shots >1km. Generally it’s best to fire early game torpedoes from about 1,5km.
The torps were to deep for those small ships.
Using the 8.8 deck gun to sink ships be like: "So then, I just started blastin'"
0:29 they just wanted their borders to look good
"Polish" land. As in Danzig, a region full of Germans that was german less than 20 years before the second war. Wow, very polish
This video actually made me get this game and 20 hours in im loving it
It’s out of early axis?
i wish battlefield had something like this, where theres naval battle, with subs, air battles, tank battles, and ground warfare
Attacking corvettes with 3m depth torpedoes. Rip.
This was great content! I would love to see more of this game from u.
just remember when you sink the royal oak, you kill drachinifel's great uncle.
Next time try to reduce the torpedo depth when attacking small units to around 2m deep. For big transport ships around 5-7,5m under water. For destroyer ~3,5m and those small canoniers 1,5m. But in the later years of the war do not attack destroyers. This will result with almost every torpedo spotted when you will miss
Subbed, I want more of this!!! Loved the game, great gameplay as well.
11:30 wait, Swiss ship?
Switzerland can into sea
Rivers, they exist
@@no-nx3ip you're telling me they went all the way through the Rhine to reach the sea? That's some dedication I can respect
Horthy would be proud
hoi4 swiss focus tree logic
Can’t wait to play as the dudes who almost killed my grandfather twice
