- The UBOAT developers have announced more significant updates that are in the works and a possible release date for the full release of UBOAT has been announced. These updates will completely change UBOAT for the better. New and revised missions, new ports, new U-boats to command, new voice actors. The developers of the game have listened to their audience and are letting it be known through the upcoming updates. Can't wait!!!
UBOAT is a WW2 submarine simulator game where you are a captain of a UBOAT. As the captain it will be up to you to ensure that you have all the necessary supplies for your UBOAT and be able to manage your crew. You will be faced with very tough challenges and even tougher decisions that you will have to make on the fly.
The UBOAT campaign takes place between 1939 - 1945 and will see you patrolling all over the Atlantic in hunt for lone ships and large convoys. After spotting your target you will have the challenge on manually imputing all the proper information before finally firing your torpedo and watching as you send thousands of tons worth of shipping to the bottom of the ocean. Did I mention that should you not want to use a torpedo to sink a ship, you have the mighty 88 mm deck gun!
Accept mission and be rewarded through a leveling system in game that allows you to upgrade your officers and give them special abilities that will help you in your future campaigns. Completing missions will also reward you with currency that you can use to upgrade your UBOAT and make it even more difficult for the enemy to discover you and better yet...sink you.
Buy equipment for you crew, gather information to acquire new specialized torpedo's, and send your officers on missions to discover new and special tasks through the world map.
This is your boat and you get to command it however you like. Happy hunting!

Anyone else excited for the full release? What would you like to see added?
Gotta be many more ports for me. Not necisarily the High detail home ports but just more playable/raidable enemy ports
more anti aircraft and aircraft features/gameplay
Italian oceán submarines
Oh heeeelll yea
id like scripted events removed from the game.(ships that dont exist in the actual game) also alot of the UI removed to make it less arcadey
One thing I've always found puzzling is what happened to the port at Lorient in UBOAT? Lorient is one port that should be added to the game, because it was actually one of the principal u-boat bases in WW2. I've actually seen the old u-boat pens there.
Another thing I wish they would implement is having a tonnage totaliser for warships sunk. At the moment, you only seem to be credited with merchant tonnage. Okay, the principal aim of the u-boat campaign was to hit the convoys which were supplying the United Kingdom, so the more merchant ships sunk was important, but so was sinking warships and reducing the Allies ability to wage war. If you can sink a battleship or an aircraft carrier, you should receive some reward for that.
Yea true but I suppose there are a few U-boat bases down that same bit of coastline so having La Rochelle, Lorient and Brest prob seems like overkill
it's a rare thing when game developers LISTEN to their own community.
I purchased this game during a sale and I’m very happy I did. It has everything I love about it; crew management, maintenance, naval warfare, etc.
I really enjoy this game. I really enjoy watching the boat moving through the sea and the various weather effects. I remember my years in the navy and can't help comparing my experiences to life on these submarines (I was a destroyer man many years ago). I'm having trouble with the torpedo calculations (even on easy). I'd like to just lock on and the other officers automatically make the correct calculations (like "Silent service" used to). I noticed they have made a mistake (Submarines don't use loud alarms when submerged for obvious reasons) On the surface they did If they spotted an incoming aircraft and there were no enemy ships around. Crash dive if immediately if you see any aircraft. Seconds matter. Experienced patrol aircraft will use clouds to conceal their approach (until the advent of radar on submarines).
The AA guns are far too accurate. I spent six years as an AA gunner many years ago and have fired .50 cal. Tripod mounted to a steel deck. The kills that players are getting are ridiculously unobtainable in real life. If the devs are interested the speed of sound makes explosion sounds lag behind the sight of them. Shells from navy guns will arrive before you hear them being fired (if more than about a kilometer away). Also the deck guns are being used in conditions far too rough. The gun crew would be swept away, and they wouldn't be able to score hits anyway. Don't use the radio if you don't have to. The enemy can quickly triangulate your location and aiert any nearby planes to attack you. Enemy merchants will report immediately your course, speed and location to the convoy commander. Ships are smoking too much. The convoy escorts will police any ship smoking. Destroyers don't smoke much unless they are booking it, since they changed from coal to oil burners. Destroyers can't go fast and listen on the hydrophones. A convoy is like a thundering herd of elephants. Use this fact. Have fun everyone.
great stuff, hope devs read this
explosion physics and debris from the ship you hit aweasome, i like UBOAT alot and its gets better and better
Really enjoyed the video! Thanks for continuing the updates about this game.
This game is really cool. I haven't played in a while. I'm glad they're still adding features and improving things. I'll have to take it for a spin.
Great video. I can't wait for the release. Thanks for the update.
Thanks Doc! Same here
cant wait for the tdc that will make a huge change in sinking ships
Silent hunter IV and trigger maru nothing else even comes close except eye candy
Great video, great to see this game still being supported. I'd like to see some sub attack on destroyers above, either floating mines or circulating torps ? whatever is historically correct ?
Thanks for the video. Off topic but SH4 with the FotRSU mod and these graphics would be perfect. I wonder if the U-Boat team has any plans to make a Pacific Fleet boat game.
I wouldn't put it past them
This game keeps getting better and better next to your videos getting more enjoyable each time
EDIT: To add to the ports in the game. Theres a 4th port you can play in game in the North Artic. I unlocked yesterday while playing
Oh very awesome. Whats the port name?
@@crazedjester Port of Bergen Flotilla
Awesome, can't wait!
The explosion psychics is good to have updated - currenty its a bit much. It sounds and feels more like every hit with a torpedo on a ship is more like a mini-nuke. Scaling that to something that feels more realistic while having the crew on the cargo ships feel more alive is a good thing.
ps. being able to select what type of torpedeo with a better UI would also be good.
Love Uboat... well have to check the mods
Quiet states are important off duty are put to racks to minimise noise
did the convoy travel at speed matching the slower vessels?
I just want TDC and a "depth under keel" button. Both are on the way though
TDC will be great
I want they add more Uboats like the most modern ones, that you may be can invent faster.
I really can't wait for the full release. I haven't been playing for a few weeks now, but I kinda hope they will add Rotterdam as a port, just to have some Dutch representation in the game :P
Willemshaven zul je genoegen mee moeten nemen.Tot nu toe! In deze game.Rotterdam stond NOOIT te boek .Volgens mij.Als een U-boat haven.In Nederland.Tijdens ww2.Dan zouden de Nazi's. Eerder voor Den Helder gaan! Denk je niet?
There already have a Rotterdam port in the game
I want an actual crew management system. What we have now works, but I want it to actually have an impact to the game. It is 100% possible to play the game and not have any crew management set. Also, if we board neutral ships, maybe something more than the "dialogue" options we currently have. Cargo loading/unloading times need to be tweaked a bit, especially if moving stacks of items. I can only carry one round of AA at a time? Also, more variety of missions, and I have said it before, but a secret "Make it to Argentina" mission in 1945 would be awesome
Really like all of your ideas. Especially the boarding of ships.
I can’t wait for the next update! So many good features coming out. Oh and btw, it’s pronounced “Mar-say” lol
Haha thank you for the proper pronunciation. I knew I messed that up 😂
mar-SAY. 🇫🇷
Really looking forward to the release. I really hope they do something with the annotation tools for the map. SH3 was very good at this. Good protractor, ruler and the map looked like an authentic scribbled map scribbled afterwards. In UBoat, it isn't easy to even put a pencil mark at an exact spot. This war of silence should emphasize the map, being the real battle arena.
BTW how did those torpedoes hit at all? I don't know if you became aware of this, but you actually set the angle on bow to about 180 degrees with a mouse slip click at @8:57. So the computer should be thinking that you shot directly from their aft and therefore should have done neglible sideways compensation to lead the target.
aaahhh that's probably why I missed the long shot. I didn't even notice that slip up haha. Good eye!
Kiel canal only runs from Baltic sea cutting threw the bottom of Denmark, into the North Sea, as in between Norway and England. So no it doesn't let you cut threw say La Rochelle, all the way to Say Kiel, without traversing thenchannel, which is a death trap, or going the long way round the top of Scotland. It basically runs the bottom of the Jutland (Denmark) peninsula. Still nice to be able to cut through Denmark, because traversing the waters near Sweden will yield no enemies guaranteed unless of course you run into the odd Polish ship which will stop happening after 1940 starts. That kind of becomes irrelevant because why would you want to launch from Kiel when there's options like willanshaven, or by June, St. Naizare, with its famous bunker style u-boat pens. Which I think are still there.. Also la Rochelle. and. Even Brest, these were the big U-Boat Bases, I guess, the Kiel canal will become relevant again after the liberation of France which force do you votes back into which force the U boats to re base in germany and norway. anyway what I must be happy to see is new damn submarines, maybe some XIBs, or of course the electro boat, type 21, which is a super awesome advanced boat, which can travel submersed on batteries at like 14 to 16 knots full speed. Like most wunderwaffe, truly was a great advance, on par with jet engines but too little too late not implemented anywhere near enough to stop the flood. I really love to see one of those modeled in the game. I also really enjoy the damage control gameplay If they feel like flushed it out a little bit more I would think that was awesome. Plus the allies need to become much better at tracking the boats, as they were in 1942 or 1943 becoming experts at ASIDC, making destroyers much more terrifying even if you go quiet they'll just ping your hull, Even if they can't hear you they just have to get a couple good pings on you and you're basically found, not like you can really go much faster than two or three knots to actually stay quiet.
Thanks for clearing up the Kiel Canal, Teetar! I agrees that the ability of enemies in terms of tracking and knocking out UBOATs needs to improve
From what I have read convoys ran at 2 speeds fast and slow with the fastest convoys running at about 9 knts obviously the convoy always ran at the slowest vessel in the convoy's group.
I love unloading my seamen on Brest
heyoooo
When one downloads the game, are all previous updates already included in that download or do you have to add them...?
Steam will automatically download all updates required
Thank you, I did think that, but it would help if it was clarified being as it allows these updates to be 'installed in the options box'... so, perhaps I thought, under trial? So I now assume to be 'deleted' if they hinder the game, depending on which system or platform one is using?
Some guy from Kiel here. The Kiel Canal connects the North sea near Hamburg to the Baltic Sea at Kiel. That doesn't fit to the idea of shortcut you explained.
Well you cleared that up really well. So a nice shortcut between those two points. How many miles does that shave off you think?
@@crazedjester It cuts off going around Denmark. I looked it up, is says that would be 250 miles.
@@MythosHB Oh wow thats a pretty good amount!
Overal the game is ok, but what I really need, (and what the classic Silent Hunter series excelled at) are very long and suspenseful bouts with aggressive destroyers raining depth charges all over the place. In this game, you seem to hardly ever get seriously attacked. There should be a real possibility of being sunk everytime you attack an escorted convoy.
Love this idea. I would like to see a much more intense engagement by the enemy as well. Completely agree with you that its very easy to escape danger in this game.
@@crazedjester ... and also what would we like to see in the game? Other types of subs. Like IXA, IXC and the great XXI. .. and yes! Those subs was in the Silent Hunter III, and was great and enjoyable. In SH3 when a dd charging against you, she always closing in zik-zak for avoid the torpedo attack. All these features were in the great Silent Hunter series. I thought that when someone makes a war submarine simulator game, they study the big historical games first, but unfortunately no! You begin made this game since 2018-19? Since 6 year and this game still on beta version... a little bit disappointing.
I just want more in depth missions and offer a challenge. The whole "go out and sink this much" gets boring after about the 10th time
Completely agree with you
Add Hard Mode
That is how they did it tho ;) the military grind, go out and provide as much damage to the enemy as possible, come Home and rearm and repeat
i like this game but so sad it stops when war is over in 1945 :'( we gonna need a new world war so game developers can make new DLC expansion ;)
I personally would love more historic ship, like more aircraft carrier, battleship and cruiser from multiple country as well as more numerous and bigger convoy .
And like you said and in link with my more convoy, a bigger variety in them would be great .
Being able to knock out battleships and other warships and then have thay actually mean something would be great
@@crazedjester like either a reputation/medal system or "event" like journal article talking about it "Battleship King georges V sink in the atlantic after an u-boat attack"
Dev need to add more smoke on explosions + fire on the water due to fuel/ oil leak
that would add some great immersion
I know you're likely gonna get inundated with comments about it anyway, but since I hadn't seen it yet;
the port of Marseille is pronounced, "mar-say".
now you can tell all the French people who will be offended that you do know how it's pronounced, and just choose to pronounce it differently...because it's funnier. 😆
Haha in my defence, I did say I might pronounce it worn 😂. Thank you for clearing that up though!
1:55 Where exactly do you think the Kiel Canal is located? O_o
If memory serves me correctly, I believe its north or Hamburg
@@crazedjester Yeah, saw the other comments, funny you thought we dug a channel through the whole of Europe 🤣
🤣
So on my first campaign that I started a year ago now I’m in the Mediterranean area of operations and I’ve done all the missions and I’ve got all the tonnage required to sink in that area, but it won’t let me leave the Mediterranean to go back to do other missions. Does anyone know how to get out of the Mediterranean after all the missions are done? I ended up starting a new game because I got tired of being stuck in the Mediterranean.
I believe you can just sail to another port and it'll ask if you want to make it a new home port. I remember someone telling me months back
Thankyou I’ll give it a try
When does everyone think it will be released?
I am thinking June
Would love to see enemy subs in the game so we can sink other subs
I thought this was abandoned...good to see?
The devs and been putting in a lot of hard work
@@crazedjester I hope so as the last major update was Oct 15th 2022...not great support considering this is STILL an EA game.
Have they split officers and petty officers yet?
unfortunately no =(
Really sorry but had to jump in on min 15. Whilst having greater visibility underwater will be great for gameplay i strongly suggest you try diving at 50m. In the North Sea and Atlantic you will be in pitch black from about 20m. Its not the Caribbean with light bright clear water. Its murky and green and very dark.
Ah so I wonder how they will handle this new lighting system under the water. Perhaps it will be just as you stated...relatively clear at around 10-20 m and then nearly pitch black there on after. Thanks for this bit of knowledge Sid!
Maybe they will add it as a realism option. So you can choose to your liking. I hope so.
Posters of curvey women in the sub. =) But the updates sounds good imo.
Lol
You don't have to change your subs heading to line up the torps what the hell
Correct. There are many ways and formulas that you can use to land torpedoes. I just use this method.
Players : we need new models of submarines
Developer: look at which ports we have added
haha they are adding a lot of new models for subs though. Bringing in quite a few actually
@@crazedjester i mean not TYPE 7 MORE MODIFICATION
I MEAN TYPE 9, TYPE 21 AND OTHER
Anyone know how this game can download free?
hmmm not sure they offer a free version of the game. You can wait for steam sales when they knock off like 80% to the asking price
Man just use mods and this game becomes so in depth in so many areas that not even the devs can compete with the mods. Certainly looking forward to this update though but in the meantime Mods mods mods. Also I highly recommend Real Navigation and the compass mod. The game becomes so much more immersive when you dont have any markers on the map for enemy ships or your own. Having ships visible on the map is a huge insult to the experience this game can provide in realism and immersion.
Best place to get mods at?
@@crazedjester Steam Workshop has tons of mods that change everything. I highly recommend U-Boat expanded. It has recreated historical convoys, routes, the kriegsmarine grid system. It adds 2342343244 ports etc etc. I'm a hardcore realism junkie so if you want realism and historical accuracy ill come back later and leave a list to the mods I use. They all work and completely change the game
@@crazedjester there are a lot of good mods in the steam workshop, all you have to watch for is if theyre outdated (which most of them are with the newest version of UBOAT) but it doesnt seem to matter since ive been playing with 3 - 4 "outdated" mods and the game seems to run normally, also regarding the realism I think that it provides great balance from games from the Silent Hunter series and for me personally modding is the way to go for now. The release looks promising and hope the devs continue to implement new stuff to the game, fix bugs and overall improve it.
Cheers
Its just another verson of SH5 ..
Another silent hunter game would be awesome. Hope that company does something
If they are listening so much can u aske them to put compass for F sake lol
The Gyro compass you can look at in first person yes? A pop up compass would help though yes
50 metres isn't that deep ???? REALLY. THink you need to recheck your measurements there
not in terms of light penetration into the ocean
It isn't bro. Not for a sub, it's like 150ft.
Ive never heard anyone mispronounce Marseille in my life 😂 Americans wow 😂😂😂😂
First time for everything
PRIORITY FIX the tutorials..FACT they are still a totally broken mess... ..ps and dude it's spelt Kiel...cheers ... btw does anyone know why some people have this idea that velocity is not the same speed, and even try and argue their incorrect point, the term velocity derives from the latin phrase "velocita" in Spanish velocidad meaning speed. which itself can trace it's etymology back to the term "velox" meaning fast..they really shouldn't be trying to give me lessons..p
I am sure they will touch up on those tutorials for you in the full release.
@@crazedjester I detect some sarcasm but no problem, nothing wrong with sarcasm if used in a respectfull manner. my point is what is the; pun intendid first port of call for someone who is new to the game?, exactly the tutorial. so imho it's important that it fullfills it's purpose as well as possible... cheers.
@@josneira1827 No sarcasm. The tutorials are something that many feel could be improved. I would like to believe that the devs have noticed this and will be working on improving them. Hope you really enjoy the full release! Would love to hear what you think when it's out
Not excited. The core of this game was always crew mgmt. The fact that they listen so much to the community is actually indicative of their lack of vision. What they should do is finish this game, and make a sub-sim that focuses on that . More in the vein of the Silent Hunter series ( the modded versions of course such as wolves of steel, one alex addition). Listenting to the community to the point that the core game changes results in the mess that this game is. A confused compromise of one game mashed into another compromised game concept.
The original game idea was a lot less like the SH series.
I get what you're saying. I have always said that this game has felt more like a sim that is very easy to get into for a new sub sim gamer. If they hop into Silent Hunter right off the bat then they would be very lost and confused which how in depth that game goes. For someone like yourself who loves those mod versions of Silent Hunter which pack a lot of difficulty and realism, I understand that UBOAT would not appeal to you
Yes, your comment supports my criticism. At its core it was and is a crew mgmt game, which is fine. Trying to make into into something else by listening to the community too much is what my comments are. @@MCP2002
It is not that uboot and its crew mgmt gameplay does not appeal to me, rather it should just focus on that and not try to do too many other things. I argue that this only watering down the gameplay as the game tries to be too many things at once. @@crazedjester
fuck this game sucks so much
Which uboat game do you play
