Epic Royal Navy tactics here. Create a destroyer screen only around the rear of the most advanced battleship in their arsenal, fan out and search the opposite side of the Nelson than the side that just took 4 torpedoes for the enemy submarine, then sail the ship north away from friendly ports and break off the entire escort to leave the ship all by itself. Was the admiral in the engine room getting high on diesel fumes the entire time?
Wouldn't really call the Nelson the most advanced battleship in their arsenal, that would go to the KGVs. Unless this takes place before 1941, in which case yes, the Nelson and Rodney were the most advanced BBs that the Royal Navy had before the KGVs were launched.
@@tomthebuilder794 Ah. So it's even more stupid, because at this point the U-Boats were scared shitless to engage Royal Navy or US Navy patrols due to advanced Sonar and lots of Destroyers on Escort Duties.
Waltzing into a convoy, sinking eight torpedoes into a crown jewel of the Royal Navy, then slipping away without a scratch is the sort of thing that makes u-boat skippers into legends.

They just didn't realize thr U-boat completely out maneuvered them until Nelson got hit again. Anyway thats how I would explain why they might have done that had it been real life.

All they had left was a mostly empty bag of potatoes and you surface the boat right next to the survivors, with the entire escort probably charging your way at top speed, to take even that.
Now, you make the potato into the ship's pet. When your u-boat eventually sinks, it will be picked up by British sailors and they will proclaim it as a potato that brings good luck since it survived two sinkings.
Preheating the G7a steam torpedo to remove the chance of a dud is kinda gamey in my opinion. Historically, only the electric G7e torpedoes were pre heated, and only to improve range (a warm battery performs better than a cold one)
Yeah I know. There is really no difference between the G7a and G7e in this game. The electric torpedoes still leave the bubble trail on the surface. I hope this is something that gets addressed in the future.
Whoa! That last hit! Did you just get the ammunition storage?! Well done! Could she have carried on so long while listing because of shifting her ballast from one side to the other? Eg, duel fuel tanks? Also, her engineers must've been working endlessly to fix and weld stuff! It shows how terrifying it would've been back then in those situations! 😮
"It looks like we have a battleship" *sees the triple superfiring turrets shaped like a shoe* Then immediately goes "looks like we have HMS nelson" lol
Seriously..If I were part of a ship-crew, that had JUST SANK an enemy Battleship...I would be WHOOPING for joy!! My "morale" would be well, and truly, "off the chain!!"
Such a rewarding game, feels a lot like arma 3. Run for hours but when you get in the action and the tense waiting, it just makes the run all the more worth it. Will love to see this game grow even more! Awesome channel!
During ww2 the German sub was very fast created til the USA join in and started building more merchandise ships faster than the subs and started having better radar
HMS Nelson and Rodney was one of those elusive targets that I could never seem to get in SH3 (and I played it pretty arcade), cool to see you bag it. But the realism in terms of escort behavior is not the best, I have a hard time imagining the RN being this incompetent.
Our enemy tasked the the HMS Nelson and all those support ships to transport this one potato. I think there may be more to this potato than is immediately apparent.
hey i’ve noticed in a couple videos how you sometimes find yourself without heated torpedoes. idk if you’ve messed with crew management but i find it helps to get the maximum amount of officers you can have and make one of the officers sole job to warm up torpedoes, insuring you always have them warmed up. just thought i’d mention it to you. Happy Hunting!!
Also the most deadly. I think something like 4/5s of all uboat crews died at sea or something like that. Their casualty rate was really high because they kept getting sent out after the war was very obviously lost and they no longer had the technological advantage. They basically got sent on suicide missions.
Fun fact: In 1939 right after HMS Royal Oak was sunk in scapa flow the HMS Nelson was almost suck by a U-boat as well. Only the torpedos being duds actually saved her. Another notable mention is that Churchill was actually on board Nelson at the time, and if those torpedos launched from the U-boat actually detonated on impact with the Hull then it could’ve been a history altering moment. Luck was clearly on the British side that day!

Thank you for sharing 😊😊😊
Outstanding! Well done. Fun to watch.
Just use the meters>knot conversion table map-tool, in just 1 minute you can figure out their speed just as accurate as 3.15 :)
I started a new 1942 campaign game recently. I've done a bunch of patrols from Bergen and I haven't found a single enemy ship or convoy. It's really annoying.
I tend to stay more at La Rochelle, more ships in the Western Approaches.
I like your play style, going to adapt it to my game! Including your mod list!
Awesome video! Thank you! You got me into that game!
very nice mission, one of your most entertaining, thanks Wolfpack
Scary how one uboat can sink such a monster just like that. Naval warfare must have been intense...
Sonar: allow me to introduce myself. The U-boat stalking some random fleet: bro what are you? What is that pinging
What an adventure. You're German, though, so the grandkids will hear, "I had rickets as a child and spent the war paving roads in Czech."
this game looks really fun would be sick to have a destroyer boat game like this to
