Excellent video! I might add, forget about using the Deck Gun after 1941, because by that time most merchants will be armed. Between 1940 and 1941, if you are to use your DG be absolutely certain that it is not armed before surfacing for a gun attack. Unfortunately, even when critically damaged and its whole superstructure is ablaze, the AI will never abandon the ship and keeps shooting (and hitting) until you get confirmation that it's going down.
Funny thing is yesterday I "haf sank" an Armored Trawler and it was shooting at me. The bow was like 60º (or more) off the waterline and it was still shooting. XD
Hi Bstanko. Thank you for some previous brilliant videos concerning U-boat ops, but I was disappointed with your latest short video. You didn’t mention the motion of the U-boat caused by the swell, which is going to affect the fall of shot? Staying underway would reduce the motion, but introduce a curved trajectory for the round? I would have thought a round in the engine room would be more likely to stop the ship than a round amidships? Does the modelling reflect this? I am sure there was much more written about how to use a deck gun effectively and I wonder if anyone else has read anything? But on the positive side it’s good to hear you are well. Keith
Thanks for the response. To answer your question, not sure! Deck gunning is a funny thing. In my experience, I’ve unloaded an entire storage of shells into engines, rudders, and even one zone to see what happens. Sometimes you get a great result, other times the ship rolls along on fire and listing. I only use my DG after a good torpedo hit nowadays!
How about ammo types (AP vs HE), which to prefer and when? I would guess hitting the bridge etc. with HE is better and realistic, and AP might be better for hull shots even for non-armored targets, but I don't have any clear knowledge and end up mixing the two quite sporadically.
no it won’t. It’s a great game. I own it. But it is a different animal. If you like immersion and simulation in the eyes of the commander, then U-boat will never be that game. If you like worker management games, then U-boat is great. These games to me, are a matter of perception.

Absolutely true.

Yes. AP is for punching holes, while HE is meant for blowing things up… say the radio shack or a gun on the merchants deck.
What's your thoughts on the game Uboat? will it be the next SH3 in the future?
no it won’t. It’s a great game. I own it. But it is a different animal. If you like immersion and simulation in the eyes of the commander, then U-boat will never be that game. If you like worker management games, then U-boat is great. These games to me, are a matter of perception.
@@SH3Bstanko6 Thanks for the thorough response.
let's hope the mod community takes it to the next level.
