The stark technological contrast between this and your Cold Waters 1968 series is amazing. Just 23-24 years and everything is radically different. Really incredible.
Yeah it is pretty nuts to think about. I think about this a lot with the progress of aircraft. From the Wright Flyer to Apollo 11 is only 66 years of progress.
A more extreme example is the V2, first flown in 1942 it was the first true ballistic missile using a gyroscope and fuel capacity as guidance with a conventional warhead and by 1957, mere 15 years after, the Soviets had developed the first intercontinental ballistic missile radio controlled and with a nuclear warhead. Everthing ment to kill or destroy always develops faster than something ment to be use for peace, keep that in mind
I used to live literally about 20 miles West of Portsmouth, in the New Forest. I THOUGHT I heard a commotion the other night!! A mate of mine was in the Navy and on Subs. He went out on a tour and spent three months onboard and thinking he was going all over the world. HE SPENT THREE WHOLE MONTHS, ON A SUB, IN PORTSMOUTH WATERS!!! Oh, HOW I laughed!!!
I’m starting a history of world war 2 course for this fall semester today and for the big term paper I really want to write about the Battle of the Atlantic. It’s as if a certain content creator on UA-cam has influenced me... 😉
Wolfpack, it kinda drives me nuts watching you carefully measure and input all that data into the TDC for stationary vessels. The purpose of the TDC is to calculate the torpedo offset to hit a moving target. If the target speed is zero, it means there will be zero deflection on the torpedo angle, so every other setting (range and AOB) has no effect when speed is zero. To put it very simply, if you set target speed to zero, the torpedo will *always* run straight. For a stationary vessel, just set speed to 0, point and shoot. Nothing else is required. Thanks for all the videos!
No. TDC mod adds realistic "gyro angle". This means torpedo only starts to turn to set gyro angle after running 9,5m from the tube, and this results in a parallax angle (the angle diffrence between periscope and topedo gyro angle turning point). For stationary targets, this also means the gyro angle you set is related to distance - a shorter set distance will get a larger parallax angle, a larger gyro angle, and thus may miss the target (~4km away) completely.
5:40 Visual contact with another U-boot. You can click ship icon, and made for him course line for example the same as yours ship have. They will swim to this direction. Couple U-boot together and you have wolfpack group. Cool stuff.
You use blue light submerged especially when stalking or attacking to preserve electricity. Red light is when surfaced at nighttime to preserve crew's night vision and to help those trying to sleep.
14:40 Where you are around this location is a WW2 submarine barrier IRL. There is a line of concrete blocks that had chain between them which would force any submerged vessel to come to the surface. You can still see the blocks at low tide going across the the Isle of Wight.
Nice Video! A tipp for good light management to improve max. performance from the crew. Set red light during the night only if you are on surface! If you dived (also in periscope deep) switch always to blue light (further range of hydroscope) for day and night the same. All other situations needs neutral light switch on. GL all
Haiqal Zaki my reply was in reply to trident65's comment that it would never happen. Also, the access to Scapa is technically more insane. Ripping currents & shallow water. If you had ever sailed through there, you would understand why it was thought there's no way a sub would attempt to get in there.
When I first played a U-Boat game, I took it into the English Channel. When I started getting attacked I told the boat to emergency dive... it wasn't a good idea - I buried the bow into the seabed. It's not deep at all!
I think a cool game mode for Wolfpack would be a real time campaign from port to patrol to port. It would take forever but would be neat as like a weekly session like you would DnD. Maybe add a x2 or x3 time speed for distance traveling. But you would have to learn navigation and star mapping. Idk I have some guys that would to that.
The last time I was this early; some eggs had a race, they were arguing about who won, so they asked the chickens nearby? Get it? no......I'll just get my coat and you can just 'shut the fuck up, McMurphy, it's all your fault!'
I love how this game is like a weird mutation of Sims, War Thunder, with a dash of Kerbal Space Program. As for your video editing and also information wale you share your experience is a superb mix. Very good job 💪😎👍 smooth sailing my friend.
Always enjoyed watching your series and theatrics you put into the videos. One thing though, I'd have been besides myself leaving any ships easily targetable afloat. Had a rear torpedo that had that dud destroyer's name on it. The atmospheric did a good job of psyching you out, good job on the devs part. Enjoy taking risks with this game and distinguishing between actual threats and mind jobs. Getting into the hairy is when the fun begins and would make for even better videos although I hate writing the letters to family as well. Looking forward to more high risk missions.
Nice to see this working out. Strangely enough, when I go near Portsmouth at night at periscope depth, I'm either killed by fire from the port or because my sub runs into the bottom...quite annoying...seems like the game mechanics are still flawed. Good to see it's not happening to everyone though.
I'm sure they will do at least main ports. Would be lame to recreate the U-47's raid on Scapa Flow in a generic port with corvettes and destroyers standing in for HMS Royal Oak.
It all went well until detection. Well it is so damb shallow around Portsmith you can't really submerge and not be detected. I've tried to escape various ways with only terrible results. The last time I ended up trying to shoot my way out with the deck gun, got one and almost two ships before they nailed me. I think the other thing is you have to try and escape at the darkest of night. In any case started another mission, maybe come back to this in the future. .
Interest looking game, the only thing that bugs me is the diesel engine animations... I'm kind of a diesel nut and seeing only one rocker arm instead of three makes my OCD itch.
Enjoyed the video (thumbs up and subscribed), but a U Boat raid on Portsmouth harbour would have been a suicide mission in 1941! Same goes for Gibraltar.
I got a random bug in this mission, a french battleship was laying over a british destroyer lmao, then one british ship clipped through the sky and suddenly my uboat got destroyed for some random reason
I hope we can have Type IX boat at this game at the future as SH3 and SH4 has external reserve torpedoes so it would be fun to see how they load them up
If I remember correctly (this was years ago), the kickstarter had a stretch goal that promised to add several types of submarines, potentially including the IX and XXI But they didn't reach the stretch goal by a few 1000's of dollars... And just because of that small amount, we may never see any other uboat type in this game. They can decide to add them anyway... let's hope they do, after all, they also have income thanks to the steam release.
i think they will add back as people is going to trust steam as u really have a game for you to play after buying unlike kickstarter that you may get disappointed for the product or fraud to the backers and not having a product and hay they can concentrate on developing the game as they dont need to deal with other minor things at kick start
There are indeed quite a few UBoats at the bottom of the Channel, we had a lot of airfields along the coast and the ports were heavily patrolled, tell me, is the airfield shown there Warmwell?
A great episode! Just a question for you and the audience... Have you ever seen anything bigger than a destroyer docked at a port? Would be nice to see a cruiser or even the elusive Nelson at one of the allied ports just to spice things up a bit.
What the hell, when I tried to make it into Portsmouth for a mission I was periscope depth, rigged blue, gyro off, parascope down, full stop and still found and depthcharged.
Sorry for being insensitive but i can´t wait for more SH3, i like Uboat but its not the same thing. Still, you have my like and love, keep up the good work
You Sub Videos have become kinda must watch by this point, ever thought about a SH4 Wolfpack run in the pacific? I'm currently trying to get Dark Waters V6 to run :D
What, you only spot those costal guard patrol boats?!!. Idk how, but when I did this mission I found like 40 of those costal defense boats. And I had to surface the U-boat, cause I couldn't get pass the under some under water walls at the beginning of the port. It was a suicide mission, after a afternoon of trying, I just reassigned. Maybe it was a glitch xD
I really like these videos. Not really into playing these types of games myself but I do enjoy watching them occasionally and your videos are among the best ones :) Also, this might be a dumb question but what is the purpose of switching the lights to red before battles?
Wolfpack345 cause you act surprise with the number of patrols you see. But maybe that’s unusual for the game as I’m relatively new to finding the game but if I was the dev I would put way more ships at Portsmouth.
I just got this game, and it looks good, but I am probably going to hold off for about a year maybe two on this one, I think it's too early right now. I will say it's everything I always wanted silent hunter to be.

@@leandro9311 It's not because it's meant to kill it goes faster, it's because of competition.
Wolfpack, you can actually assign tasks in a queue through shift + left mouse click. Helps with torpedo warming
You're my hero of the day.
Damn. Nice tip
thanks :D

It preserves oxygen

Manning the lifeboats while docked. I’d just say “imma just walk off if that’s cool cap”
Was on the ferry coming in to Portsmouth from Isle of Wight yesterday. Was thinking how easy I could torpedo my ship haha
Pretty sure they were suspended
Hehe I grew up in Ryde on the IOW

While I was in the Navy we actually visited Portsmouth. Was a lovely city.
WW2 digital 3D maps, sensors integration and datalink seem much more advanced than expected
In real life no ww2 U-boat got into Pompey dockyard, there's an anti submarine, blockade it's still there today, cross fireing forts.
Came to say this
In real life no one would send an U-boat on such a lunatic mission to sink two corvettes in a port.
Trident65 try telling that to the poor crew of the Royal Oak. They thought Scapa was impregnable too.
@@yammy1000 Scapa wasn't heavily fortified when the Germans attacked though.

Just found this channel and I gotta say I LOVE it. Very well done. Sort of like watching an old movie.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy the content. Welcome aboard!
Portsmouth is and was pretty much a Navy base . Very rare to get a merchant ship in there .
Been there last weekend. Will be interesting to see what it looks like in game
It's a shame that U-96 isn't crewed by the crew of U-96 from "Das Boot" 😕
When I first played a U-Boat game, I took it into the English Channel. When I started getting attacked I told the boat to emergency dive... it wasn't a good idea - I buried the bow into the seabed. It's not deep at all!
Yes I love when you play this game! It seems amazing to play but sadly my chromebook cant run steam or any game on it.
The decoy is actually featured in the new movie Greyhound. :)

Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light.
5:49 Yes, 99% of tiny groups (1) are other uboats. Great video again!
Just watching on the way into the port, your watch officer needs helpers to detect contacts further out. Also after dark use red lights for same
it was very scary when i saw the Portsmouth mission because thats where i live lmao
The last time I was this early; some eggs had a race, they were arguing about who won, so they asked the chickens nearby?

It's nice to be around people to whom a corvette isn't a car.
Do u poo in Cadillacs?
Is sailing into HMS Portsmouth, the biggest naval port on the South of England, is surprised about the number of naval patrols.
When I did it previously there was nothing there. That is why I was surprised.
i like the map it transitions so well
why nok make the torpedos slow så u can hit everything at the same time and then alredy be on your way ? :O
That is what I did for the targets that are far away. The targets that are closer I set to fast to time the impacts to be around the same time.
Gexpgaming
I hope you do more of these. Your let's play of this is always awesome
I will!
when you told them to go to red light you gave him another prder before he had finished so it canceled you can stack orders just btw
My home town :D
Thanks 😊 wolf for this video
Thanks for watching!!
to there own shore gleaves and the ingham leading them into death.
Sadly Portsmouth isn't really modeled at all. But its pre-release so I'm hopeful! Great raid and stay safe!
Yeah agreed, and its a shame as its one of the main RN bases.
I'm sure they will do at least main ports. Would be lame to recreate the U-47's raid on Scapa Flow in a generic port with corvettes and destroyers standing in for HMS Royal Oak.
Now that i see theore sandbox-ish part of the game it looks much more interesting
I love these vids

Yeah there are some funky things in the interior. I hope the devs go back and overhaul it before release.
I bet a person with the correct focus on their OCD makes an excellent deisel technician.
Be bold. Enter the port during day. Submerged, of course.
It was a intresting mission to enter into the English channel and destroy the enemy fleet👍
Thanks, Wolf, this makes me glad I'm a Patreon supporter. Sorta like a vlog jockstrap?
I appreciate the support! :)
Wasting torpedoes on Corvettes? BDU really don't have any idea what to do anymore ...
Enjoyed the video (thumbs up and subscribed), but a U Boat raid on Portsmouth harbour would have been a suicide mission in 1941! Same goes for Gibraltar.
This is such a great game, pretty glitchy but overall great
its a hazard to get into Portsmouth at the best of times in a surface vessel
13:10 Cancel Brown Alert, repeat Cancel Brown Alert... 😂
love ur vids m8 great content :D
I wonder why the text "RAID" in the thumbnail is so close to the boat's antenna wire.
Me too.
You might of just hit their patrol switches when you seen all the motor boats

Many a boats in uboat have been lost from starving your crew
obviously the germans have read Hunt for Red October and liked the idea of "Red Route 1"
There are indeed quite a few UBoats at the bottom of the Channel, we had a lot of airfields along the coast and the ports were heavily patrolled, tell me, is the airfield shown there Warmwell?

What’s the latest subsim sold? Last I’ve heard of is SH5 and uboat.
No,air cover around Portsmouth?
Surprisingly there was none.
Love the videos! Just wondering though, where do you download your mods from?
Steam workshop
How far away can you detect a ship with the hydrophones?
Sending messages while submerged is not very realistic, in real life, u-boats could only transmit when surfaced.
Not necessarily, you could transmit at around periscope depth, but you're correct, you can't transmit too deep.
Considering that SH3 isn't able to run on my PC right now, I might have to play this instead.
I've considered the same idea, but the amount of attention to detail UBOAT appears to require is rather intimidating.
