UBOAT is a new Submarine Simulator that just dived into early access. It is a survival sandbox with crew management mechanics while its primary theme is life of German sailors. The boat is their home, but it can become their grave at any time.
In UBOAT you control the crew in order to control the boat. You look after their physical and mental health, because if the sailors are hungry, tired and their spirit is low, there’s no chance of winning even a skirmish.
A great example of a game that did Early Access the right way. This game has improved a ton, and I am totally addicted to it now.
GOOD NEWS I SLIPPED INTO NEW YORK.. there is ships docked and docks .. the statue of liberty is in the harbor...but as I tried to get closer to Manhattan it has mines. So giving a heads up heading into New York harbor
@@beedalton9675how did you have enough fuel to get there and back.
@@t.r.4496 I used the electricboot mod.. it's like the type 21 running .. it's in the uboat library I'm also using deckgun with 400 rounds. I play renegade mode lol...I'm able to take out a whole convoy...and the deck gun is superfast lol.......look it up for fun and give it a try lol
@@t.r.4496 Easy. The game scales a bit poorly, if you have a perfect schedule of two sailors on navigation + engines for the 50% fuel consumption reduction buff, you can go all the way from the port of Narvik to the end of the Mediterranean no problem, you will still have more than 50% fuel left on a Type VII I think, and that's on half speed, not even one third. Add to that the fact that you can unlock the AI Milk Cow/Type XIV (it's a modified Type IX) to resupply. This is where the game gets a bit unrealistic and patrols generally last about a week for me so I have above 80% fuel left in my tank. Three business days of navigating to a grid, within a day finding a convoy, another three business days to go back home after shooting all the torpedos. No such thing as staying in a grid patrolling for nearly a month in this game. The hydrophone picks up everything in a 150km radius around the submarine with a maxed out radio/hydrophone operator and GHG hydrophone.
Wdym we need a Type IX DLC later on in this game when the Type VII is already filling that role?
Agreed!
The swedish merchant vessel Lagaholm was a merchant ship with a regular route of Baltimore - New York - Kirkwall - Gothenburg - Malmö, importing mostly general goods and metals hard to find on the Swedish market at the time such as Brass and Copper. Also US produced engines and chemicals. It was sunk by U-32 after being stopped with warning shots across the bow with the deck gun. After which the crew were forced to abandon ship and sunk by the Uboat. Thats why it traveled with merchant groups as well, just tagging along for safety.
OP: “It sunk”…”it traveled”
Me: yeah… great story bro 👍
😂
People just know so much about real ships history and I barely know a couple ships irl lmao I'm like "Okay, HMS Empire Whatever, nice target, launch torpedo, give them food and pick up their captain and mechanic for reputation points so I can unlock acoustic homing torpedos and give the crew vacation in the Eagle's Nest".
@@Doomguy-777 Its all well recorded history, there is a site with a perfect list of all known sunk merchant ships, or rather. A list made by uboat nerds of their favorite subs confirmed kills :)
@@str8forthakill whats the site?
@@str8forthakill I'll check that out!
"Close the bulkheads!"
*sailor draws all curtains*
"Have some canned meat". Does not provide a can opener.
If they're hungry enough, they'll find a way to get it open 🤣🤣
The canned bread is better.
I tossed raw potatoes once and got a achievement for it 😂
some of them oughta have a knife.
My caned meat been spoiled lol somebody didn't re seal the can so i had to throw it over board😅
I remember the german cross in gold being totally busted in SH3, because for some reason in that game medals buffed the characters wearing them, and the GCG just turned fatigue completely off! I'd give it to my best watch keeping officer and he'd be standing out on the conning tower for weeks, weather and enemy aircraft permitting!
Lmao
I'd REALLY love to see you play an actual campaign of U-Boat, trying to survive the entire war :D
I will when the mods mature :) Maybe sooner haha
@@Wolfpack345
What mods do you use, and why are they so important for you?
@@diogodmsr9521 in canadian gamers case of sH5, its to save time cuz SH5 is tedious. not sure about this but prolly saving time too, and make it more enjoyable, being in a campaign as long as the uboat crew did without time lapse would be kinda tedious, unless someone really likes this and schedule it like rl submariner
There is no LGBTQ representation in this game and it should be boycotted.
@@somchai272 What are you talking about, it has loads of sailors in!
Today I had a close encounter, I attacked a convoy heading for Liverpool and sank about 7 ships. However, I tried to go too close to the last one while trying to escape from his escort, and he crashed into me from the side in the line of the tower. The diesel engine, the deck gun, the anti-aircraft defenses were destroyed, causing leaks in several places, and during the sinking, that particular cargo ship almost fell on top of the submarine, it just reached the stern, but did not cause any more damage. I was lucky enough to have enough spare parts for most of the repairs, with the exception of the engine, after a couple of hours the water was pumped out and I managed to get back to the port.
I am confounded that Wolf never shoots at two targets with the farthest first so the torpedoes hit close enough together that there is no chance of evasive action.
In this case, the angle of impact for the torpedo being launched at the far ship would be poor and would likely result in a dud. I attack multiple targets at one time frequently in SH3 when the situation allows for it.
@@Wolfpack345You could have gone for ship 2 and 3, they were close and would have allowed that style of attack.
@@Wolfpack345I have to ask did I miss something last I saw you were infiltrating Belfast and getting back to port on fumes how did you end up in the Atlantic
@@Wolfpack345 Fair cop. I don't remember ever seeing it though.
@@whitewolf-xf9ui
When the full release was made, all previous save-games were rendered inoperable, requiring a restart of the campaign.
You should use some reputation points at the Commanding officer 'favors' to get a 6th officer slot (only cost 1). Really great when you get some officers with linguist traits.
Instead of the 3.15 method you can simply measure the distance traveled in 60 seconds and multiply it by 60. Lets say a freighter moves 234 meters in 60 seconds, you multiply 0.234 x 60 = 14.04 km/h or 7knots
Been playing sub sims since the first Silent Hunter. I am absolutely in love with this game. The developer has done such a wonderful job. Many things we could add of course but I would love to see a multiplayer.
@@Omega47 thr only thing I want is more surface ships. Explorers all look and basically are the same.
@@mathiasrryba ill give you that.
I think more ship & U-Boat models/varients to start, to give a bit more variety and authenticity to the game. After that, an online "wolfpack attack" multiplayer would be so SWEET.
silent hunter is trash along with this game.
@@SuperiorSurvival369 The first Silent Hunter was great for its time, a good update on Aces of the Deep and the older Silent Service 2
My dad served on the Destroyer escort USS Fogg during the battle of the Atlantic. She was torpedoed by the Uboat U870. The ship was severely damaged but did not sink, 14 men were lost. A lot of times, the Uboat would target the escort first . I often think if the torpedo had hit more midship instead of near the stern, I probably would not be here writing this.
=.
My Grandfather ( Mom's side) served on U boats during the war and is now 103 years old.....
He never said anything about his time on U boats when I was younger.....The last few years. he has started to talk about his experiences.
We know a knot is 100 meters in 3:16 (or 100 yard in exactly 180 seconds).
We know our torpedoes run at 30 kts, that is 3 km in 3:16. We know the distance to the ship, say 1000 m, the torpedo runtime would be
1000 m / (3000 m / 196 s) = 65 s.
How far does the ship move at 1 kts (faster or slower) in 65 s?
65 s * (100 m / 196 s) = 33 m
How long is the ship? > 100 m? At 100 m length we got +/- 50 m until we miss the target. At that range, we will hit with being 1 knot off (and distance does not matter when the torpedo needs no turning and is at 90° to the ship’s course.)
We do not need to correct for speed , but it does not hurt, either.
Very nice!! We should do these little exercises more often in order to build up more intuition with finding torpedo-target-solutions.
Mathematics & Geometry would engage so many more blokes if your teacher/professor handed you and the lads a submarine attack scenario, and told you to figure it out.
Started a new campaign on U-48, Sept 1939, and sunk 3 merchants within 63 hours on my first patrol, getting a IC2 right off the bat. Playing on the more medium level (52% authentic), until I can get my sea legs a bit more. This game is really so fun, though.
10:21 German U-Boats did pick up surviors, until 1942, as per the rules of war, at the time. The RMS Laconia incident put an end to it, when the US bombed and strafed the U-Boats trying to render aid to the survivors.
They were instructed to still pick up captains and engineers, or anyone who might be of value as a source of information. Some crews chose to ignore the Laconia order and still helped survivors at least get into life boats and provided them with food and water, some did not even bother with picking up the captain.
shut up nerd its just a game
correct, but yankee are used to that they’ve never had rules e never respected
Brother, if it weren't for us "Yankees", then greater Europe would probably still be under Nazi occupation. Don't act like nobody's ever shit the bed during wartime.
@@massimocavina6011 you should probably look into what Germany did in WWII
@ i know what they’ve done and doesn’t change that US never respect any treaty law or agreement 435 treaty with natives has been set in the bin up to today with WTO rules is a continuous
This game is so insanely good. Brings me back to my Aces of the Deep days.
So glad I invested early into this game. I rarely do it, but I had a ton of confidence with the developers, especially considering how much they had already done up to that point.
yea right Playway SA mass produces games they only care about getting your money and moving onto the next game which is why they're working on the next best thing a nuclear submarine sim similar to Uboat but hopefully better, you can't overlook the amount of bugs in the game you just can't.
18:33 "Camera is rolling. Quick! Be cool!"
Each video you post makes me start a new campaign in u boat and sh3 lol. I'm glad you're starting to get the recognition and subscribers you totaly deserve. Keep up good work!
I mean this is the game we’ve been waiting for forever, I remember playing Wolfpack on the Zx spectrum in 1986
wow, sink some ships in a convoy and no-one else can be arsed to pick them up. Cant stop! It's you and your rowboat vs the Atlantic now lads, we've got to keep steaming for Britain! :D
23:22 Good to see that the good captain's interest in cheese continues.
"Sometimes? I dream of cheese"
Just got some homemade Greek feta pie, fresh out the oven, my favorite Greek beer and Wolfpack uploads. Hell yeah!
As a Swede I am glad our ships are unsinkable. Just don't bring up the Vasa...
The Vasa was blown over by a bit of wind. Clearly, it was meant to be a time capsule, not hubris.
Yeah the Swedes weren't known for half baking it, they had a ship with over 100 guns.
How best to signify ones greatness? By making a museum out of the best ship you could possibly build.
Vasa's submergence (not to be mistaken for sinking), was completely intentional.
@@ToreDL87 Well, I would argue that the Vasa failed being a good ship by not being able to go to any battle or scare off any enemy …
… and if you make a time capsule of your greatness, you let people know so they cannot misinterpret your time capsule for a failed warship.
Knäckebrods are pretty tough
I have no idea most of the time what you are doing since I dont know much about subs or these games in general. But this is all much more exciting. Great content. Hard to find these days on YT. Keep it up. Hopefully I can learn more whilst watching your content and this new and exciting game.
I can’t bring myself to start out with a Type II Uboat. I’m too attached to the Type VII. Hope the makers of UBOAT make a title set on a US Navy Sub like Silent Hunter 4. Imagine UBOAT but aboard a Balao or Gato class sub.
there will probably be mods for that eventually.
They should make one for japanese subs with their oxygen torps.
Nothing speaks against that, but the next big plans are a type ix and xxi dlcs
@@storm___ THIS. ^^ Interestingly enough, there was a mod in the works for SH4 that would've done the Pacific War from the perspective of the Japanese submarine campaign, but sadly it never came to fruition.
I would never stop playing this game. 4 was my favorite.
My main gripe with this game still is the lack of variation in the merchant ship. It really needs some variety
I love how even though it's a different game, the video still opens with SH3 soundtrack in the background
SH3 music has been and still stays just top-tier, absolute classic
This is literally so great!!!! I wish I could binge watch the whole entire campaign at one time!!!
Just got the Type VIIC in October of 1940, I already have FAT and LUT torpedo and T-5 Acoustic torpedo's researched on the U-4.
Those tommies wont know what hit them.
A great video showing the game. By goodness it seems very complex but still enjoyable and the graphics are first rate and your commentary is clear and informative . Well done and a BIG thumbs up.
@@kymmoulds depending on how much you engage with it it can be really simple to quite complex like on the video.
There are options to automate or simplify a lot of what is done in the video for beginners/casual players. Overall a great game for getting into the genre imo :)
This game is pretty fun. If anyone hasn't tried it on straight up realism I recommend it. It's hard at first but rewarding. I even printed out a German AOB chart and an English translation of a U-Boat captain manual to really try to nail the tactics. Lol
Still has some bugs, though. I experience issues when I reload saves, which I did a lot of practicing torpedo calculating, that can be quite annoying but also pretty damned funny.
Seems to occur if you try to do time compression after a few times reloading saves. I accidentally Threshered myself when I crash dived after a torpedo attack and the boat just went into a free dive to crush depth. That only happened once.
The most common one I experience is compression preventing dives at all with the Type iiD. Easy to fix, just wait until you're deck awash level before compressing.
Hey wolfpack. Your videos are as amazing as they can get! Been watching you for a minute and I can easily say you are one of the best creators of this niche. In fact, you are what motivated me to start my own channel based on MILSIM games. I wish you good luck and keep moving forward with your uploads, as they are pure gold! Quality is what defines you
Fun fact: A lot of the tinned fish provided to the U boat crews was heavily laden with powerful laxatives, courtesy of the Norwegian resistance.
0:06, this submarine move like a boat....unrealistIc.
You got me with the Das Boot Simulator! LOL Good job Captian.
U48 is sunk..."That's unfortunate for her." Yea, lil bit! Fun campaign to watch. Just found out my own Uboat, U552 sank the first US ship to be lost to enemy action in WW2, sank 30 merchant ships and was finally scuttled in May 1945. Hope I can be so lucky with her.
Nice job Wolfpack, this game has come a long way since I started watching you play it
Wasn‘t the German Cross in Gold only introduced relatively late in the war, in part for the Panzertruppen which (unlike other branches) did not give out Ritterkreuze for quantity of kills?
So like, other branches automatically gave out a Ritterkreuz for shooting down X number of planes or sinking x tonnage of ships, but the armored forces only gave it out if a superior officer saw you win a big tactical success due to personal heroism and chose to recommend you. As a result, even extremely successful tankers were generally left with no big medal to show for it; which is where the German Cross comes in to remedy that.
My dad served on HMS Black Swan during the war and his ship played a part in sending
U Boats to the bottom.
His ship joined Johnny Walkers group, who could smell U Boats from way off.
He'd have 3 or 4 Anti submarine vessels at action stations for over 24 hours at a time, hunting submarines down.
If you were unlucky to be encountered by his group there was a pretty good chance that this would be your final patrol..
Try playing the game from 1943 onwards, after the U Boat's "Happy Time".
You won't last very long!
this game has come a long way since its release,
i bought it on its release whilst still heavily engaged with SH3 & have not really played it since loosing my data due to updates so have not resumed as i do not want to go through that again, however with videos like this it makes the game that more enticing to want to play as it looks gorgeous, great looking game the more i watch.
I’ve been itching and scratching for more uboat content after full release!! Keep it up!!
I bought this game some time last year in EA only to ask for a refund because it was unplayable on my rather frugally equipped system. I went through the minimum specs today and decided to give it another go. To my relief and delight, my decision didn't backfire. The developers seemed to have optimized the game for low end systems because it runs quite well now. Having a great time with it. Thank you for your excellent videos (including for Sea Power). Cheers!
Rudy, I am not even into MTG, but I love your vids... they are an fascinating and entertaining amalgamation of Dutch Uncle advice and Market wisdom. This is better than any MBA class I have taken. Keep it up (despite the diminishing returns). Great fiscal and life advice.
As a Swede, I'm satisfied that you screwed up the second attack. 😂
This and SH3 have been on my wishlist forever, since U-boat was finally released I'll be getting it as soon a possible
@@peacemaker9046 there is or was a discount on steam for it.
you are scratching my itch for u-boat stuff. Tryed to find som good u-boat movies the other day, none to be found witch i had already not seen. So thanks!
11:50 O yessa kaboom 💥
I love your gameplay of uboat watching your vids have taught me so much with the game and has allowed me to play more and more realistically! Cheers !
The shark paint is for the eels, not the bow. I came here from your silent hunter Mediterranean series. You have a quality channel.
This looks fun. It would be cool if there was a game like this where you could be sailing a pirate ship.
The Swedes got lucky twice.
The Torpedoes know we were neutral (ignore my name, I'm actually Swedish)
Imagine you are a sailor on the Swedish ship and hear a big loud DONG when the dud impacts. Horrifying!
There's a radio station where you can listen to the Tipperary song. Peak Das Boot indeed.
Game looks so good now! The graphics updates are just a chefs kiss.
I look forward to this, SH3, and War on the sea, all week.
this would make a perfect star trek theme in space also
Luv this content WP!
Keep it coming! 🍻
That’s funny bc I live next to La Rochelle !
Nice video 👌
Now all we need is a good "Greyhound" simulator. Hunting Uboats while managing a destroyer crew would be cool
already a game like that. Calleed Destroyer i believe
@@TristanMurcia ahh thanks for letting me know. ill have to search it up
@@TristanMurcia Destroyer: The U-Boat Hunter. Crew manages itself - no cook to make treats for the crew or machinist to make the engines run faster/better/more efficient, but you get to play with ASDIC, mapping, tracking, steering, radar, guns, commanding other escorts, air support, etc almost as much or as little as you prefer.
It is a bit arcad-y with the U-Boat density - in the same way time compression is and in the same way you somehow always find targets to sink in any sub sim, where in reality you often came back after 4, 6, 8 weeks patrol empty handed with no ships found.
10:26 Maibe we can use the survived man for some intel, I hope not directly to the SS becouse the use some emm invasive methods
I hope see this game in PS5
At least you made a dent in the Swedish ship.
RIP U48! Love your U-boat series. Keep em coming!
BTW - Did you ever get round to doing a TDC tutorial?
Coming soon! It is being more comprehensive than I originally planned
@@Wolfpack345 Awesome! You make it look so simple in your vids. I fumble around, guess, miss, get frustrated! Cant wait! 👍 Thank you
The weather effects look very good!
Lagaholm. Built 1929 in Gothenburg. Sunk by German U-boat U-32 1940.
Ive always wondered how the real u boat captains in real life did the calculation/check of the target speed. I kinda doubt they were able to go in to 3rd person, add a mark, wait and put another mark and het the exact distance to get the speed :D
Love the way you pronounce Wolfgang 😀. Nice Video and greetings from Germany
I keep thinking I’m not big brained enough to play these games where you’re doing charting and TMA stuff.
Wolfpack is thankfully much better
I haven't played a sub game since Silent Hunter III. I need to check this one out.
Waiting for Silent Hunter 5.
man, I love the IIA and the IID I just wish I could get something a little bigger than 20mm for its deck gun :)
Picked this up a few weeks ago really cheap. I think I have had an update almost EVERY day so far! Just loaded Steam, and another one is ready!
this felt like SH5 rekindled, now if only there's a UBOAT and cold waters collab, that would be something
I suppose it's optional, but there must be a reason for having a ships Captain when you are clearly in command. Without knowing the reason, I would think that assuming the role of Captain is probably more rewarding.
I think it is time to revisit my UBOAT. Love the videos!
Cant wait for the next episode!
I got all excited at the thought of a new subsim. Great video though. I love my TDC.
I was never a fan of Type II UBoots until your videos
U-boat series again would be so good
SH3 + GWX Mod still the best stuff out there 🙌
If you want to rack up big point slip into new york... the statue of liberty is the harbor. ..its also docks and ships... but there are mines when trying to pass lady liberty. Heading close to Manhattan....just wanted to put that out😅... happing hunting fellow u boaters
Hm there was at least two Swedish ships in that convoy, Liana and Lagaholm, and you failed to sink them both. If I didnt know any better, I would say the Swedish ships were cursed/protected by the divine. Oh and as a swede Im deeply offended (not really).
They need to tweak how the sub moves through the water in various sea states. In calm water, it porpoises too much.
Thank you Admiral!
You should really go check out the wolfpack community and our wolfpack 30 player events, that is the true sub sim experience
Really looking forward to @Wolfpack345 next adventures with this game. So far the game is very fun to play and modding community will make it even better. Hoping to get some good tutorial!
its cool watching the tom hanks greyhound movie after playing this.
Das ist Thomsen! THOMSEN!
Jawoll Herr Kaleun Wolfpack 🎉
Cool they got the WWII drone cameras right .. :)
I would like to say that I like a game with a realistic quality of simulation. At first I admit, I did not like this game at all, yes it looks nice, but that alone doesn't cut it. I became frustrated at one point and removed this game from my computer. When they put the TDC in, I reluctantly put the game back in, and I got a surprise. Not only do I recommend this game now, I will keep an eye out for this dev team in the future. They obviously kept up on the effort to make this game, what may become a classic. After some time off from work (well deserved time off), I am hopeful that they give consideration to expand their success with possibly a pacific fleet boat of WWII, including the obvious US boats, but also maybe Russian, Italian, or any other platform of that era. Even if they are sold as addons, or as a type of expansion. Thats how good this game is now. Bravo guys, you have my attention now. Also, of course, its not just the TDC that did it, but a few other very nice things also like being able to fire the torpedo from several diffent locations, and other fine point issues.
Just found your channel love the vids keep it up
Even though I'm an aviation guy, I really enjoy these U-Boat/Silent Hunter playthroughs. Any chance of seeing a Das Boot U-96 style campaign?
I see you have the supporter pack. Good man!
Man, I love this game
(i'm getting sea sick just lookin at that thing going up and down.)
The intro might make one think our Type II-D is a submarine BB class 😅
It's still no Silent Hunter 4. Waiting for the next subsim.
I got to update and see if they finally fixed the custom keybind mapping that was broken for the past 5 or 6 years or however long it was in development.
