There actually was a submarine battle in the Second World War that involved two submarines. The German U-864 and the British HMS Venturer. It occurred west of Bergen, and the Venturer had spotted the periscope of U-864 and proceeded to follow it. U-864 was waiting for their escort when they noticed they were being followed. After some chasing the Venturer engaged and launched a spread of 4 torpedos at 17 second intervals and at different depths. U-864 evaded three of them but turned into the path of the fourth and was destroyed. There’s a little more to the story but this is the main of it.
The episode where Taff goes all Han Solo "Never tell me the odds" When the viewers think to themselves that the odds of successfully hitting an enemy submarine with a torpedo is approximately seventeen million to one.
Excellent episode taff, more tonnage both merchant and naval sent to the seabed, turning the hunter into the hunted in regards of the corvettes is a good addition to not only naval morale but also to the tally and reputation, and blowing some targets in half.. that's putting the fear of God into the enemy. Good wolfpack skill from yourself and the friendly U-boat, papa Doenitz will be pleased. The ocean turns red with blood in this episode, I would have thought the corvettes would have just vaporised but that's probably just how the game is set. Excellent episode taff, more tonnage sent to the seabed and more trophies added to the belt. Great episode taff, keep it up mate 👍
Congratulations on sinking a British Sub. (A pity they hadn't modelled the Brit sub). Just making it down the English Channel to La Rochelle is an achievement in its own right for a U-boat. Damned lucky to have a wolf pack arrive to hit that convoy. The AI Captains certainly earning their pay. Frankly think you were robbed of that Tanker claim. It was definitely sinking before that torp hit but surviving was the main thing. Good Hunting.
Whilst Taff in lying on the bottom of the ocean covering himself with sand, a friendly U-boat Captain is blowing the seven shades of sh!t out of the enemy fleet covering himself with glory! No offence Taff....but I want to watch the channel of that other guy!
Amusingly the British sub HMS P-615 was sunk by U-123 on 18th April 1943 - very close timeframe to this. The P-611s were a group of four subs initially built for the Turkish navy but requisitioned by the Royal Navy.
Even though the game didnt react sinking an enemy submerged British submarine is a huge deal!! Bravo to you sir! Im sure you would in reality receive a very high medal for that kill!! 🏅 🥈 🎖
Things like that happened in reality,for example surfaced U-333 was attacked by submerged HMS Graph at the coast of Spain while returning to La Rochelle.
Nice shot on the sub 👍 and being about 65 feet, depending on time spent getting out of the sub itself, injuries, etc, most who would attempt, probably been able to swim up to surface without aqua-lung or whatever device was called.
No a lot of people know that U-boats were very active in the Caribbean in the 40's. Sank a ton of ships too. One of them even blew up ships anchored in the Port-of-Spain harbour in Trinidad (where I'm from 😊 🇹🇹). Sum wild shit .....
Thanks for confirming that, at times, the Caribbean and Latin America were OFTEN in front line crazy action. I'm comparing the Chaco with the war in Ukraine right now. I'm hoping Taff is going for T+T, possibly Cacao.
39 merchants sunk, for 253,319 tons. 13 warships, for 88,790 tons. Also a bit of a fun fact; The submarine you sank was of the Oruç Reis-class, designated P116-class, built for the Turkish Navy. Only four were ever built, and on the 18th of April, 1943, H.M.S. P615 was sunk by U-123.
been watching your content for some time. sinking the enemy uboat was very cool. would have been even more interesting if you could have sent out a diver to help the fellow submariners at 20m
@taff in exile, is this a mod that puts friendly and enemy subs in the game? Ive got ony about 20 hours in the game but havent seen anything other than surface ships.
That was technically a Turkish sub by this point in the war, but hey... whatever. Sure made for an interesting encounter. Especially later on with those other U-boats going nuts and slinging torps every which way, hahahaha....
On the Briefing Report, that British submarine was designated with the Red Ensign, which is wrong. It should have had the White Ensign. White Ensign = RN warships & submarines; Red Ensign = Merchant Navy.
Gotta ask, 1943? How do allied ships not have radar that is detecting you long before you sight them? Radar was almost ubiquitous around England in 1943.
uboats were harder targets to pinpoint than regular ships though its mostly the aircraft that were a problem regular ship mounted sets were not as useful against Uboats so planes should actually be even more deadly but the game probably wouldn't really be that much fun it would be very hard to balance.
@@gkagara Yes, very true, but it was good enough in 1943, especially in the channel and on ships assigned there. Other games model this exceptionally well (SH3) and as you say decks awash is really the way to go in night attacks and such because the deeper you go the more detectable you are as a submarine on hydrophones. I don't think this game models either of those things.
A non-German submarine is that. A submarine. Not a “U-Boat”. A U-Boat refers specifically to a German submarine. Just sayin’. Nice shot. And nobody got out. With ~ 3 atmospheres of pressure on the hatches, they’re not opening.
Not once since I've played this game or watched the countless videos this is the first time ever seeing an enemy u-boat!! So cool!
2000hrs played never seen one I've been torpedoed at least 3 times always assumed it was T5's maybe not
My guess that’s is a mod

Absolute stunner from that friendly U-Boat captain. Absolutely decimated the convoy.
4:35 british had one captured Type VII C submarine which was used against german u boats,it was called hms graph.

the winch is on the front of the sub, if u go to the external view and hold ALT it will show the winch and should give the option to send a diver
Depends on the depth of the ocean where you sank someone. needs to be relatively shallow.
Upon sighting a Taff Uboat video, I naturally clicked on it to watch. That’s my style, sir.
That's submarining
Did any viewer distinguish himself?
In the words of Captain America...I understand that reference.
Very nice subtle reference to the TV series Sharpe, specifically Colonel Simmerson, while reporting to Duke Wellington.
@@Reddeath111 @zathras was the first to acknowledge the reference. I recommend he be gazetted captain.

P611 was a Turkish Sub Variant of the S Class. Briefly commissioned in 1941 as HMS P611. The Turkish Navy call them Oruç Reis-class Submarines
Thanks. Saved me some time.
That sounds hot.
Got to love that Collateral double kill from the friendly U-Boat on the Tanker and Corvette!
Congratulations on pulling off a Venturer (although having acoustic homing eels did help)

As you were pulling into port I expected bombers like the movie Das Boat
That was an absolute joy to watch after a hard day cleaning a barn. O7 Thank you, sir.
Like the end of "The Hunt for Red October"....submarine dogfight!

Great work by my favorite U-Boat captain and crew... not the 606, but that other mystery boat that did most of the heavy lifting this time. 🤣🤣🤣
What the hell was that fricking traffic jam of the British convoy, haha
Nice shot on the sub 👍 and being about 65 feet, depending on time spent getting out of the sub itself, injuries, etc, most who would attempt, probably been able to swim up to surface without aqua-lung or whatever device was called.

literally the perfect example of "My mind tells me no...
But my Body...

You truly know this game! Excellent work and thank you for taking us along.

Bro was ripping those corvettes in half left and right
I have to congratulate you on the name of this video, I can imagine a good laugh was had after thinking of that one
First sub kill I've seen. Sick!
6:39 that moment when you want to grab a Momsen Lung ... XD
Exciting chapter
Hope you and yours are well! Appreciate the video. Ive never taken on a sub in uboat yet lol. Interesting to see. Cheers!
Wow interesting! Never seen another enemy sub in this game. Although I never heard of a British captured uboat either.
Nice hit on Sub 💪
Wow never seen anything like it! well done!!
Good vid....Taff...I sank a c class last night on sh5..
what a mission, gr8 vid
When I saw the title of this video, I was incredulous, given the time period. But it was fun to watch.
Why incredulous?
39 merchants sunk, for 253,319 tons.
13 warships, for 88,790 tons.
Also a bit of a fun fact;

Are you running a mod that put enemy submarines into the game, or was that an addition in a recent patch?
I love me a U boat video
P.S. Great Shot !
been watching your content for some time. sinking the enemy uboat was very cool. would have been even more interesting if you could have sent out a diver to help the fellow submariners at 20m
An enemy sub, that's great
@taff in exile, is this a mod that puts friendly and enemy subs in the game? Ive got ony about 20 hours in the game but havent seen anything other than surface ships.
The enemy uboat could have been the one that was captured by the allies. I believe the indictment machine was taken from
At 27:45 that's what the crew of Das Boot thought 😀
No U-Boat pens?
That was technically a Turkish sub by this point in the war, but hey... whatever. Sure made for an interesting encounter. Especially later on with those other U-boats going nuts and slinging torps every which way, hahahaha....
Love it
did u find the british uboat in the orkneys ive sunk that too lol wonder if its supposed to be teh royal navy uboat that actually hapennd ...
Taff, can you provide a link to the U Boat mods you are using?
Con, sonar, loud explosion on the bearing of master 1.
would you ever consider visiting a real Uboat in a museum? (Vlog tour idea?) or have you already?
On the Briefing Report, that British submarine was designated with the Red Ensign, which is wrong. It should have had the White Ensign. White Ensign = RN warships & submarines; Red Ensign = Merchant Navy.
Potevi partecipare alla iniziativa d'attacco dell'altro capitano aiutandolo
I knew the other sub skipper was Italian. Former MAS boat commander. Can't stand Tommie and enjoys homing torpedoes.
Is this with mods? I’ve played this game A LOT and never seen an enemy sub before!
Have they added submarines recently or is this a mod?
What mods are you using?
since i stared to use all the mods u use my game wont load Missons at all i go and speak to the guy and it Cames up nothing to click on
Lol this game turn into cold water.
what version of uboat is it? or is it a mod?
You do realize that you just rewrote history by sinking that sub...
Gotta ask, 1943? How do allied ships not have radar that is detecting you long before you sight them? Radar was almost ubiquitous around England in 1943.
uboats were harder targets to pinpoint than regular ships though its mostly the aircraft that were a problem regular ship mounted sets were not as useful against Uboats so planes should actually be even more deadly but the game probably wouldn't really be that much fun it would be very hard to balance.
U boat have very low radar signature especially if half washed board.
Ship need to be at certain height to even show up On radar.
@@gkagara Yes, very true, but it was good enough in 1943, especially in the channel and on ships assigned there.

@@fortusvictus8297 The games models it but to what extent i dont know
1 kill and 1 assist in less than 6 days.
mod list?
could always go with a slightly longer video :D
Sorry Taff, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around what just happened. I'm pleased, but so confused I'll have to edit later.
hey mate, which mods are u running?
Torpedo sniper
Too bad no sub mission avaliable
