Very good! But please do not rush submarine development. Only add them when they are balanced gameplay-wise, or else we would have another CV situation...
This Submarine is located in my hometown. I've been in it many times. And even tho it looks small, its actually a huge piece of steel when you stand next to it.
I visited the Wilhelm Bauer Type 21 Submarine Museum sub in Bremerhaven. That would have been a scary Fn sub for the allies early on. She carried 28 torpedoes in the fore, with 6 tubes, and she was actually faster submerged than sailing on the surface. She was also capable of remaining under water for the duration of the cruise due to advance snorkel tech, and could run her diesel engines while moving underwater. This particular submarine never saw combat. The to little to late condition caused that. I would love to visit the Mark 7 Museum ships though.
My grandfather was a Merchant Marine. He crossed the North Atlantic many times. He taught me that even though they were the enemy, in times of peace we should respect them as soldiers that did what anyone would do for country. Rest in peace

Just two little notes. - While she surrendered in Trondheim, Norway (9 May 1945). But she was unseaworthy (moored in Trondheim to be fitted with a ''Schnorchel'' 8 May 1945) and thus..... She was never transferred to UK, later taken over by Norway in 1948 and startet to serve as HMS Kaura as a K-Class at the end of 1952. She ended her Norwegian service in 1965. - Norway tried to sell it back to Germany for the cermonial price of 1 Deutsche Mark in, which was refused. It was the German Navy League, DMB, who bought her for preservation. She became a museum ship in 1971.
@@Kenny212_2 Why? At that point of time, she had no use in the military as an offensiv, defensive or training tool any more. It was was just an expense that needed upkeep. The only ''use'' left she had, was as an museum piece. Though I do agree that she would be looking awesome being moored inside of 'Dora 1'' in Trondheim. The only question would then be... "who should pay for the upkeep and maintanence?" It was the same story for the carrier ship Kitty Hawk (and John F. Kennedy) which were sold for one cent to a ship scrapper in Texas. These were the last non-nuclear powered carriers in the US navy, and the last chance to make a US navy carrier museum. But it came down to cost.
History channel is controlled by PC globalists , National Geographic, discovery channel , History channel hooked everyone at first then slowly the dumb it down narrative stepped in , last 20 yrs are nothing but , Hitler , aliens , werewolves, BIGfoot and reality shows that are scripted with -replanned drama , nobody learns shit from anything TV nowadays
Well, that was certainly something. I've been to see the U-505 up in Chicago and the size difference between this Type 7 and the larger Type 9 is pretty plain to see from this. Almost hard to imagine a crew living in one of these things, as the larger Type 9 was already pretty cramped internally, and the 7 had less space to work with. Regardless of politics, you still have to respect the people that volunteered to live and fight on these things.
More modern German U-boats, like the current Type 212A also don't have much more living space in them, as they are now cramped with additional, modern technologies. They still have to share bunks and only the captain gets a private space.
Im sure they did feel tremendous frustration and grief. But probably not until much later. In the moment im sure they were all focused on trying to do their jobs. Sailors from everywhere in the world share that tendency in common. Along with a strong desire to rescue shipwreck victims and mutual respect for other sailors and especially for ships. Its said that when a bunch of british & american ships and planes managed to gang up on and corner the Bismark, probably the most legendary and famous battleship in history, even according to this channel, which doesnt focus on German ships much. That the British sailors stood on deck and watched solemnly as she slowly sank and rolled over. And later mentioned that she was a beautiful, miraculous ship. "But she had to go to the bottom." And this was the ship that sank the royal navy flagship Hood, their best ship of the war, in 3 minutes flat. Among other things she singlehandedly shifted the entire balance of power on the oceans. Yet the still marveled and respected her. Even though she was an enemy. And they also felt for her crew. There are similar accounts from German sailors at other times. Strange that seamen all seem to have certain things in common like this
I don't even play this game but man do they make some high quality youtube content. This puts most of the so called "history" channels to shame. Well done
Hello.... Arriving in Laboe from Kiel and being received by this monument to human intelligence, was the best reception that this beautiful city and its loving people could give me. My dear U-995, I went through it several times and always with the same fascination, in front of the Memorial as a tribute and homage to those sailors who still patrol the seas... I'll be back!!.......Dante, from Argentina
@@Shvrtya Hello, yes, it was something very emotional, it was like meeting a great friend from my youth, believe me it was so emotional for me to see and board that uboot that the mechanical part, engines and instruments remained in the background. Hopefully you can make that trip, surely it will be unforgettable... A hug
@@Shvrtya Ahhhh.....I tell you that after Laboe I went to visit the U-534 in Birkenhead UK, it is cut into 4 parts, very good too, although not so emotional... that was more technical...
Unfortunately, I noticed several inaccuracies in the technical information provided. 1. The Boat is 67,240 m long, not 67,1 which would be an older VIIC Type. 2. The Boat is 18 to 22 mm thick. 3. The displacement of the boat is 1070 m3, not 871. 871 tons is the boat without any outer tank included. 4. The concave Bulkheads were designed to have the very same pressure resistance as the pressure hull itself and could withstand a pressure up to 220 m. 5. The depth rudders were mainly operated electively. There's no hydraulic depth control. It was done mechanically by hand. Only 2 Boats had tests done with Hydraulic, and this was U-202 and U-203. 6. The Red Handwheels were not used to "Control" the ballast, but blow the ballast tanks. Nothing was opened gradually. The Big red valve above is used to blow and control the blowing.
I visited this place as a kid a couple of times. What i remember most, aside from how tight everything felt inside the sub, is the "Ehrenmal", the big monument in the back and its museum. While the museum ist very interesting to visit, the underground vault in honor of the dead is quite humbling. I still remember the silence, aside from the whispering sound of the wind and, depending on the weather, the sea outside.
bestimmt nicht, das waren Boote die einfach zu gut sind, das können die nicht bringen... und vor allem das die XXI Menschenleben gerettet haben und nicht vernichtet, das können die Russen ja nun wirklich nicht bringen...
"...ihre einzigartigen Eigenschaften, wie die Tauchgeschwindigkeit und die maximale Tauchtiefe, machten sie praktisch unverwundbar"... Na, es hat nicht lange gedauert, bis die Briten zeigten, wie verwundbar die Uboote waren!
My grandfather worked on the submarine. After second worldwar, germany left kaura u995 in Norway. U995 was a permanent submarine for the navy in Norway for many years
They say the increase of destroyed U-boats wasn't a sudden event but I recall reading a German Captain's memoirs and he said that submarines were disappearing and never heard from again, not even a distress report. One night he was running his battery charge and the boat was lit up by a searchlight from the air and then a close explosion in the water. He managed to submerge the boat in time, but now knew with surprise that the allies were using aircraft further out in the Atlantic than before.
These mini series beats anything I've seen on tv. The CGI is awesome. Saw this sub in episode of Nazi Megastructures but this is more in depth to the subs specifications.
this might intended to gain more player into WoWs But damn, this channel might stay "best Naval Documentary" for really long time without nation bias It all thanks to gamer dude behind monitor, i able to enjoy this Thank everyone
At 3:34 "If it's a large submarine, it starts to have control issues when underwater", only if you are trying to use the same methods of control that you use on the smaller subs.
There were 2710 liberties built during the war including 99 built between 1943 and 1945 in my hometown of brunswick georgia same port where the car freighter capsized on its port side about 2 months ago
Uhhh basically that's how every vehicle works. Truck driver bed near the front, the pilot, the aircraft carrier admiral, etc. Your joke is weird... because that's how it works normally in every vehicles. The leader of vehicle must be near the commando area. So is their bedroom and other stuffs.
That was a great documentary and I liked both the live and the animated footage. But I have one small correction to make. At about 21:05 you say that Germany had 57 Type VII boats at the beginning of the war. That is not correct. Germany had 57 u-boats in total on 1. September 1939, only 18 of these were Type VII's. The others were 2 Type I, 30 Type II and 7 Type IX boats
Nice one WoW! I love the games but just as much, these videos, and the blending of real with computer generated footage. So nice to see the attention to detail you guys go to. Thanks for all the hard work. Keep it up!
Are you both in Chicago has been beautifully restored and is in its own building, it was starting to deteriorate because it sat outside for so many years, I was glad to see it was restored.
They have to manually move the u-boat to aim the torpedoes and have to correct the aiming since the target is moving towards Britain. Once locked, they check the bearing and heading and start to load the torpedoes, seal the breach shut and finally… pull the trigger and off goes, 1, 2, 3, 4 torpedoes. There was also a fifth torpedo at the rear just incase of rear ended defense
@@goldgamercommenting2990 That was the old way of an attack. as stated in the video the germans ceated new torpedo launcher that can change direction even in the tube
The German U-Boats used something called a TDC (Torpedo Data Computer) Here's a detailed description of the TDC: Purpose and Importance: The primary purpose of the TDC was to calculate the correct firing solution for launching torpedoes at enemy ships. It factored in various parameters such as target speed, course, range, U-boat speed, and torpedo speed to determine the optimal time and angle for firing the torpedoes. Components: The TDC consisted of several key components that worked in tandem to compute firing solutions: Target Data Input: Operators manually input data about the target ship's speed, course, and range. U-Boat Data Input: Information about the U-boat's speed, course, and heading was also fed into the TDC. Torpedo Data: Characteristics of the torpedoes being used, such as speed and range, were provided. Gyroscope: The TDC was equipped with a gyroscope to measure the U-boat's angle of roll, pitch, and yaw. Analog Computers: The TDC employed analog computing mechanisms that used electrical circuits and gears to perform complex calculations. Periscope Connection: The TDC was connected to the periscope, allowing it to gather real-time information about the target's position and movement. Calculation Process: The TDC's primary task was to determine the proper firing angle and time for launching torpedoes. Here's a general overview of the process: Data Gathering: The operator would input data about the target, U-boat, and torpedo into the TDC. Real-time Updates: As the periscope tracked the target, the TDC received continuous updates about the target's position and movement. Computations: Using the input data and real-time updates, the TDC's analog computers performed intricate calculations to predict the target's future position and the U-boat's position when the torpedoes would reach the target. Firing Solution: The TDC would then provide the firing solution, which included the firing angle (azimuth) and the calculated time delay to account for the travel time of the torpedoes. Operator Verification: The firing solution was manually reviewed and verified by the U-boat's commander or torpedo officer to ensure its accuracy. Advantages: The TDC offered several advantages that significantly improved the effectiveness of U-boat torpedo attacks: Increased Accuracy: The TDC's calculations greatly improved the accuracy of torpedo attacks, reducing the number of torpedoes needed to sink a target. Adaptability: The TDC could be adjusted for different torpedo types, U-boat speeds, and other variables, making it versatile in various combat scenarios. Real-time Updates: The TDC received real-time target data from the periscope, allowing for dynamic adjustments to firing solutions as the target's movements changed. Credits go to ChatGPT, because I was to lazy to write this on my own. Should there be anny fals info, feel free to tell me, and I will corect it, or do abseloutly nothing.
I have seen alot of U-Boat documentaries but I like this one for the amount of scenes showing the internals of a U-Boat. 23:53 - "It's arguably one of the most numerous ship types in the world by the number of units built. I believe even the Liberty-class were less numerous." I cannot believe the producers let this statement be a part of their documentary. Every history book I have read about the German U-Boats places the total number of U-Boats built of *_every_* type combined only reached the low 1100s. The Liberty ships, however, easily reached the low 2700s. Even if the US Government lied about the total amount of Liberty ships built, which is always possible, and there were only 1500 Liberty ships built it is still much more than the total number of U-Boats built.
@@Redstar11277 I don't think it would be too OP, as its size also severly limited its maneuverability and made it a bigger target to shoot at and get hit be depth charges. It was also slower submerged than other, smaller types, like the Type VII and Type IX of the Germans. There was also a peculiar problem that its sail was not centered, causing it to have a larger turning circle to starboard. Therefore, I do see some way to balance it properly, give it, due to more torpedo tubes, a faster reload and more HP, but limit its speed and maneuverability a bit, maybe make it slower to dive and, as said, its size makes it a bigger and easier to hit target.
tbh i bet that something as famous and popular as I-400 will end up an premium, quite possible during some return of the arpeggio of blue steel stuff so they can squeeze more money from the weebs XD
Only issue was the diving horn in this video. Didn't german subs use a ringing bell before dive? That horn in video sounded like the model T horns we used on our subs in the U.S. before a dive.
@@justbrody2589 I was there multiple times.. but I never saw it as something so special because.. well it was there all the time. I know it since I was 6. ^^

Nice to finally see a German naval legend. Thanks guys
Just two little notes.
- While she surrendered in Trondheim, Norway (9 May 1945).
But she was unseaworthy (moored in Trondheim to be fitted with a ''Schnorchel'' 8 May 1945) and thus.....
She was never transferred to UK, later taken over by Norway in 1948 and startet to serve as HMS Kaura as a K-Class at the end of 1952.
She ended her Norwegian service in 1965.
- Norway tried to sell it back to Germany for the cermonial price of 1 Deutsche Mark in, which was refused.
It was the German Navy League, DMB, who bought her for preservation.
She became a museum ship in 1971.
@@Kenny212_2 Why?
At that point of time, she had no use in the military as an offensiv, defensive or training tool any more.
It was was just an expense that needed upkeep.
The only ''use'' left she had, was as an museum piece.
Though I do agree that she would be looking awesome being moored inside of 'Dora 1'' in Trondheim.
The only question would then be...
"who should pay for the upkeep and maintanence?"
It was the same story for the carrier ship Kitty Hawk (and John F. Kennedy) which were sold for one cent to a ship scrapper in Texas.
These were the last non-nuclear powered carriers in the US navy, and the last chance to make a US navy carrier museum.
But it came down to cost.
More interesting and detailed then the history channel
History channel is controlled by PC globalists , National Geographic, discovery channel , History channel hooked everyone at first then slowly the dumb it down narrative stepped in , last 20 yrs are nothing but , Hitler , aliens , werewolves, BIGfoot and reality shows that are scripted with -replanned drama , nobody learns shit from anything TV nowadays
@@leefithian3704 Hitler vs sharks is almost ready, I can’t wait to see who wins!
Well, that was certainly something. I've been to see the U-505 up in Chicago and the size difference between this Type 7 and the larger Type 9 is pretty plain to see from this. Almost hard to imagine a crew living in one of these things, as the larger Type 9 was already pretty cramped internally, and the 7 had less space to work with. Regardless of politics, you still have to respect the people that volunteered to live and fight on these things.
More modern German U-boats, like the current Type 212A also don't have much more living space in them, as they are now cramped with additional, modern technologies. They still have to share bunks and only the captain gets a private space.
Volunteers?
@@arthurdduda63 The German Army, including the Navy, has only volunteers today. It's has been a pure professional army since 2011.
and die, for no reasonable reason - if it was, it would stand the probe of time to this very day... ...---...
The type 9 had about 80 men on board, whereas the Type 7 only had half of that.
I can't imagine the frustration and grief felt by the warship crew failing to protect all those transport ships
See Greyhound
@@eishangupta9521 Greyhound is trash
Im sure they did feel tremendous frustration and grief. But probably not until much later. In the moment im sure they were all focused on trying to do their jobs. Sailors from everywhere in the world share that tendency in common. Along with a strong desire to rescue shipwreck victims and mutual respect for other sailors and especially for ships. Its said that when a bunch of british & american ships and planes managed to gang up on and corner the Bismark, probably the most legendary and famous battleship in history, even according to this channel, which doesnt focus on German ships much. That the British sailors stood on deck and watched solemnly as she slowly sank and rolled over. And later mentioned that she was a beautiful, miraculous ship. "But she had to go to the bottom."
And this was the ship that sank the royal navy flagship Hood, their best ship of the war, in 3 minutes flat. Among other things she singlehandedly shifted the entire balance of power on the oceans. Yet the still marveled and respected her. Even though she was an enemy. And they also felt for her crew. There are similar accounts from German sailors at other times. Strange that seamen all seem to have certain things in common like this
This is one of the best documentaries I have seen on U-Boats.
I'm from germany and I'm very excited that you visited germany to make a video about U995! :) I love it!
I don't even play this game but man do they make some high quality youtube content. This puts most of the so called "history" channels to shame. Well done
I love how they tell the story of Wolfpack attacks a convoy, just like animal predators stalking their preys, attack them and leave unnotice.
Superb CGI effects and production values went into the making of this documentary. Kudos to the producers! Very well done!
Hello.... Arriving in Laboe from Kiel and being received by this monument to human intelligence, was the best reception that this beautiful city and its loving people could give me. My dear U-995, I went through it several times and always with the same fascination, in front of the Memorial as a tribute and homage to those sailors who still patrol the seas... I'll be back!!.......Dante, from Argentina
I wish to also one day visit this beauty, I am sure your time on her was spectacular!
@@Shvrtya
Hello, yes, it was something very emotional, it was like meeting a great friend from my youth, believe me it was so emotional for me to see and board that uboot that the mechanical part, engines and instruments remained in the background.
Hopefully you can make that trip, surely it will be unforgettable... A hug
@@Shvrtya Ahhhh.....I tell you that after Laboe I went to visit the U-534 in Birkenhead UK, it is cut into 4 parts, very good too, although not so emotional... that was more technical...
Was there on holiday last week. Beautiful town with some really amazing sights.
Unfortunately, I noticed several inaccuracies in the technical information provided.
1. The Boat is 67,240 m long, not 67,1 which would be an older VIIC Type.
2. The Boat is 18 to 22 mm thick.
3. The displacement of the boat is 1070 m3, not 871. 871 tons is the boat without any outer tank included.
4. The concave Bulkheads were designed to have the very same pressure resistance as the pressure hull itself and could withstand a pressure up to 220 m.
5. The depth rudders were mainly operated electively. There's no hydraulic depth control. It was done mechanically by hand. Only 2 Boats had tests done with Hydraulic, and this was U-202 and U-203.
6. The Red Handwheels were not used to "Control" the ballast, but blow the ballast tanks. Nothing was opened gradually. The Big red valve above is used to blow and control the blowing.
love the CG as usual
4:48 transition is flawless lol
My father was radioman on USS SEACAT SS-399 which was one of 12 Subs that escorted the BB-63 Missouri into Tokyo Bay for the Surrender of the Japanese
These CGI animations are great as always. Never get bored with them
I'm loving those submarine animation clips :)
I visited this place as a kid a couple of times. What i remember most, aside from how tight everything felt inside the sub, is the "Ehrenmal", the big monument in the back and its museum. While the museum ist very interesting to visit, the underground vault in honor of the dead is quite humbling. I still remember the silence, aside from the whispering sound of the wind and, depending on the weather, the sea outside.
Guess there will be a part about the type XXI u boat in Bremerhaven?
Denkst du echt das WG deutschen Sachen mehr aufmerksamkeit geben will?
bestimmt nicht, das waren Boote die einfach zu gut sind, das können die nicht bringen... und vor allem das die XXI Menschenleben gerettet haben und nicht vernichtet, das können die Russen ja nun wirklich nicht bringen...
@@Arltratlo ach ja, stimmt stimmt
Don't stop making these WG, its the best thing from your channel.
I like the ”se more” section quite a lot, you should really do more, maybe even a dedicated part of a channel!
The CGI is beautiful, and this video is very informative! Keep it up, wargaming!
why do i find it satisfying to look at ships sink
Good question. I'm the same.
I don't know how I got here but this is very interesting and better than what is seen on TV! Thanks.
8:08
the Snorkel was originally a Dutch invention
No one said it wasn't. ;)
But many Dutch design ended up in german hands. :)
@@StArShIpEnTeRpRiSe yup...
but arent Dutch just swamp germans? or are germans mountain dutch?
@@Ginkoman2 neen
steyn17 : but it takes Germans to make it work
This sub was surrendered to the Norwegian navy in 1945. and was used by them for ten yrs, named Kaura. I had the honor of knowing one of her Captains!
Man I love these video's during quarantine. Really well done and perfect for the nerd in me. :)
never knew a game company would do this kinda of stuff
"...ihre einzigartigen Eigenschaften, wie die Tauchgeschwindigkeit und die maximale Tauchtiefe, machten sie praktisch unverwundbar"... Na, es hat nicht lange gedauert, bis die Briten zeigten, wie verwundbar die Uboote waren!
One of the best of wow official sub documentary.👍
24:03 Not even close, 2,710 Liberty ships were built compared to a little over 700 Type VIIs
Yep germany built nearly 1700 U Boote.
@@justdad53 Yes but you cant't compare massive US-Shipbuilding Industry with the german one.
My grandfather worked on the submarine. After second worldwar, germany left kaura u995 in Norway. U995 was a permanent submarine for the navy in Norway for many years
Human engineering never ceases to amaze whether in peace or to kill each other.
They say the increase of destroyed U-boats wasn't a sudden event but I recall reading a German Captain's memoirs and he said that submarines were disappearing and never heard from again, not even a distress report. One night he was running his battery charge and the boat was lit up by a searchlight from the air and then a close explosion in the water. He managed to submerge the boat in time, but now knew with surprise that the allies were using aircraft further out in the Atlantic than before.
These mini series beats anything I've seen on tv. The CGI is awesome. Saw this sub in episode of Nazi Megastructures but this is more in depth to the subs specifications.
It's amazing to think that the type VII was both highly superior in diving depth and easy to construct.
It is amazing how fast and how many were built
Excellent video and very informative. Nice work once again. Keep up the good work.
Astounding machines of their time.really impressive
Imagine if they had the 300 odd u-boats at the start of the war and not in 1942.
Can't say anything just thanks WG for making this very good kind of videos over and over!
Nice to see they left out the part where U-995 sunk 5 soviet ships.....
Damn! That would have been my favorite part too.....
U-995 also damaged a US Freighter "Horace Bushnell" heavily so it had to be called a total loss.
this might intended to gain more player into WoWs
But damn, this channel might stay "best Naval Documentary" for really long time without nation bias
It all thanks to gamer dude behind monitor, i able to enjoy this
Thank everyone
The type 7 was the best for it's time but as always nothing last forever...
The prettiest submarines ever built.
Really incredible graphics in this one!
At 3:34 "If it's a large submarine, it starts to have control issues when underwater", only if you are trying to use the same methods of control that you use on the smaller subs.
That German guy Klaus Mattes, really underestimates how many Liberty ships the US built...
They have more ships, then we have torpedos.
*laugh in fletcher*
@@Hidensee *taunts in RAF air patrols*
There were 2710 liberties built during the war including 99 built between 1943 and 1945 in my hometown of brunswick georgia same port where the car freighter capsized on its port side about 2 months ago
dude the translation was very exagerating, he didnt even say mass production
Good Hunting, Herr Kaleun!
Very well done enjoyed it, thank you.
2,710 Liberty Ships were built. Just one shipyard in Portland Oregon was completing one per day. Still, the number of Uboats built was astonishing.
Can we get that battle log in full length and German (with just subtiles)?
What an interesting and instructive video...! Congratulations to those who made this gem.
Hope I-400 would be featured too
Yeah me too
One of my favorite Subs!
The animations showing the battle events are outstanding. They should make animations of major battles like Denmark straight, North Cape & Jutland.
10:17 talk about being close to your job
Uhhh basically that's how every vehicle works. Truck driver bed near the front, the pilot, the aircraft carrier admiral, etc.
Your joke is weird... because that's how it works normally in every vehicles. The leader of vehicle must be near the commando area. So is their bedroom and other stuffs.
Dzulfiqar Bagas Tito my dude.... he was just making a joke. If you don’t get it, then don’t say anything. Please
Impressive production quality! And quite informative. Thanks :D
Pretty sure this sub could have been improved by adding another 53 valve handles...LOL so many valve handles!! It's crazy!
Those animations just look amazing!!!
Today is the year 3030, still waiting for submarines in WoW
3031
tf2 has had the first update since 2021
It added submarines
WoW is still making submarines
That was a great documentary and I liked both the live and the animated footage. But I have one small correction to make. At about 21:05 you say that Germany had 57 Type VII boats at the beginning of the war. That is not correct. Germany had 57 u-boats in total on 1. September 1939, only 18 of these were Type VII's. The others were 2 Type I, 30 Type II and 7 Type IX boats
Churchill said The only thing that keeps him up at night, were U boats!
The best video of it's kind l have seen....Well done...Thanks...From Kentucky USA
0:38 what is that amazing song?
rocker 10039 I have no idea but I’d love to know as well

May I point out that this is quite possibly the first time Wargaming included sailors in their videos and they look marvelous.
Amazing as usual wg. Well played
Nice one WoW! I love the games but just as much, these videos, and the blending of real with computer generated footage. So nice to see the attention to detail you guys go to. Thanks for all the hard work. Keep it up!
What ship do u recomand for credits?
Jean Bart
^JB, or tirpitz are pretty fun.
For earning credits, Scharnhorst, tier VIII and higher premiums.
Ty
any premium T6 and up ships that you enjoy playing. having fun and earning credits at the same time is a win-win
Are you both in Chicago has been beautifully restored and is in its own building, it was starting to deteriorate because it sat outside for so many years, I was glad to see it was restored.
How were the torpedoes programmed? And how exactly were they fired? Did a gunner pull a trigger?
They have to manually move the u-boat to aim the torpedoes and have to correct the aiming since the target is moving towards Britain. Once locked, they check the bearing and heading and start to load the torpedoes, seal the breach shut and finally… pull the trigger and off goes, 1, 2, 3, 4 torpedoes. There was also a fifth torpedo at the rear just incase of rear ended defense
@@goldgamercommenting2990 That was the old way of an attack. as stated in the video the germans ceated new torpedo launcher that can change direction even in the tube
@@jackhell9263 ohhh
They just used magnets
The German U-Boats used something called a TDC (Torpedo Data Computer)
Here's a detailed description of the TDC:
Purpose and Importance:
The primary purpose of the TDC was to calculate the correct firing solution for launching torpedoes at enemy ships. It factored in various parameters such as target speed, course, range, U-boat speed, and torpedo speed to determine the optimal time and angle for firing the torpedoes.
Components:
The TDC consisted of several key components that worked in tandem to compute firing solutions:
Target Data Input: Operators manually input data about the target ship's speed, course, and range.
U-Boat Data Input: Information about the U-boat's speed, course, and heading was also fed into the TDC.
Torpedo Data: Characteristics of the torpedoes being used, such as speed and range, were provided.
Gyroscope: The TDC was equipped with a gyroscope to measure the U-boat's angle of roll, pitch, and yaw.
Analog Computers: The TDC employed analog computing mechanisms that used electrical circuits and gears to perform complex calculations.
Periscope Connection: The TDC was connected to the periscope, allowing it to gather real-time information about the target's position and movement.
Calculation Process:
The TDC's primary task was to determine the proper firing angle and time for launching torpedoes. Here's a general overview of the process:
Data Gathering: The operator would input data about the target, U-boat, and torpedo into the TDC.
Real-time Updates: As the periscope tracked the target, the TDC received continuous updates about the target's position and movement.
Computations: Using the input data and real-time updates, the TDC's analog computers performed intricate calculations to predict the target's future position and the U-boat's position when the torpedoes would reach the target.
Firing Solution: The TDC would then provide the firing solution, which included the firing angle (azimuth) and the calculated time delay to account for the travel time of the torpedoes.
Operator Verification: The firing solution was manually reviewed and verified by the U-boat's commander or torpedo officer to ensure its accuracy.
Advantages:
The TDC offered several advantages that significantly improved the effectiveness of U-boat torpedo attacks:
Increased Accuracy: The TDC's calculations greatly improved the accuracy of torpedo attacks, reducing the number of torpedoes needed to sink a target.
Adaptability: The TDC could be adjusted for different torpedo types, U-boat speeds, and other variables, making it versatile in various combat scenarios.
Real-time Updates: The TDC received real-time target data from the periscope, allowing for dynamic adjustments to firing solutions as the target's movements changed.
Credits go to ChatGPT, because I was to lazy to write this on my own. Should there be anny fals info, feel free to tell me, and I will corect it, or do abseloutly nothing.
Who would believe this monster was made 80 years ago?
Makes me feel proud to be Catholic to have a Priest as an expert on U-Boats.
Da
I have seen alot of U-Boat documentaries but I like this one for the amount of scenes showing the internals of a U-Boat. 23:53 - "It's arguably one of the most numerous ship types in the world by the number of units built. I believe even the Liberty-class were less numerous." I cannot believe the producers let this statement be a part of their documentary. Every history book I have read about the German U-Boats places the total number of U-Boats built of *_every_* type combined only reached the low 1100s. The Liberty ships, however, easily reached the low 2700s. Even if the US Government lied about the total amount of Liberty ships built, which is always possible, and there were only 1500 Liberty ships built it is still much more than the total number of U-Boats built.
May i have a question? What if u add some i-400 class submarine that is made from japan is it gonna be nice or not???
Matthew Gamer that thing is to OP i think
Its a submarine that is also a carrier
Would be op
I think they'll add it to T10. But the first 2 submarine line are the German and the USN ones, IJN submarines not come yet.
@@Redstar11277 I don't think it would be too OP, as its size also severly limited its maneuverability and made it a bigger target to shoot at and get hit be depth charges. It was also slower submerged than other, smaller types, like the Type VII and Type IX of the Germans. There was also a peculiar problem that its sail was not centered, causing it to have a larger turning circle to starboard.
Therefore, I do see some way to balance it properly, give it, due to more torpedo tubes, a faster reload and more HP, but limit its speed and maneuverability a bit, maybe make it slower to dive and, as said, its size makes it a bigger and easier to hit target.
tbh i bet that something as famous and popular as I-400 will end up an premium, quite possible during some return of the arpeggio of blue steel stuff so they can squeeze more money from the weebs XD
Speaking of Subs when are Submarines coming in the game
By the way great Episode
The US submarine fleet in the Pacific ravaged Japan's shipping and war effort.
That should be the next documentary.
iv been in this submarine,,also the u boat memorial,,very sad to see so many names on the memorial.
Notice all the great documentaries are about submarines...damn we kick so much ass
This is a Type VIIC Uboot (roman number seven-sieben), not Vau-zwei-C.
Only issue was the diving horn in this video. Didn't german subs use a ringing bell before dive? That horn in video sounded like the model T horns we used on our subs in the U.S. before a dive.
OMG thats Laboe... thats next to where I live
Kovu Wolfszahn you should visit the submarine! I also want to learn German just so I can go see the submarine and read the signs.
Kommst du aus Kiel ?
@@justbrody2589 I was there multiple times.. but I never saw it as something so special because.. well it was there all the time. I know it since I was 6. ^^
Wonderful documentary!!
The biggest mystery that I haven’t found out is what my great grandfathers brother flew in ww2 when he was shot down
what country he fight for ?
