99% of Uboat commanders quit before heating their torpedos
1% of Uboat commanders sink after heating their torpedos
bro doesnt want to warm his torpedos
4:28 fun fact: WW1 torpedoes were so unreliable that uboats rather used the deck guns as much as possible, at the end of the war it was a bit better but only during WW2 were torps as reliable as today. If I were you I'd fired 2 torpedoes. Yes it's more expensive and has less available for next targets but at least the ones you DO fire at is more likely to die
Meanwhile the mk14 torpedo.
That thing is just hot garbage for half of the war.
Edit: fixing grammar.
@@許進曾 skill issue of the crews smh my head
@@Psykaneticit was not the skill issue of the crews most of the time, it was just horrible
@@許進曾then they where used for a very long time after they where figured out
Submarine crew just preferred the deck gun over both world wars. Not only was it more reliable Torpedos were just insanely valuable due to the limited supplies. Deck gun munitions on the other hand were treated with a "Smoke em while you got em" attitude as they obviously couldn't be used while submerged.
This video heats my torpedo
Keep
Yourself
Safe
⚡️🧑🏿⚡️
some things should be kept to ourselves
😧
Have you tried cooling the torpedoes?
4:28 the German submarine commander realizing all of his equipment was made by slaves with only half the resources as the entire Royal Navy is barreling towards him
I love more College.
Honesty cannot get enough.
Down right charismatic.
It's always nice when a bug just adds realism.
The comments won in gaslighting him lol.
It's Bo and "bussin'" all over again.
1:44 You never fire just one torpedo. It's never a guaranteed kill, but 2 is nearly guaranteed for most ships as long as they both hit.
They were usually fired in volleys aiming from the bow to the stern to make it as difficult as possible to dodge. In aircraft launched torpedoes a naval bomber wing in the American military would attack from both sides making it nearly impossible to dodge.
@@catmixer4450 That was during fleet battles. For convoy raiding the Germans preferred 1-2 torpedoes per target, with the most experienced U-Boat captains only using one at most but firing at multiple targets in the same attack.
One torpedo should almost always be a guaranteed kill and if not you can easily finish a crippled ship with the deck gun. If one torpedo isn't getting you reliable enough kills that is a skill issue.
@@SpitFir3Tornadoone torpedo is only a guaranteed kill if it isn’t a dud lmao
@@mintw4241 And most duds are user error firing outside of the correct parameters
"Is the plan just to send more ships than the U-boats can sink?"
Well, actually...
Yes
Liberty ships alone were made in such high quantities that they eclipsed the total sunk tonnage of the kreigsmarine over the entire war. Uboats fought valiantly but they never had a chance once america joined up
Heating torpedoes < union break
Sir, there’s been a second torpedo.
jet fuel can't warm cold torpedoes.
I recommend using the officer that you saved to research new and more reliable torpedo pistol's
definitely will when I get the rep for it
Seeing how well your torpedoes are doing, I'd almost say someone snuck a bunch of American Mark 17s on your boat, as a prank
HAHAHA right????
if i was a sub sailor and the torpedos were duds i would be livid kek
Bro is still not heating the torpedo properly
so the reason why they could detect your radio mesage so quickly is because wilst the germans encoded and sped up their recorded messages to basicly bleep it out super fast, we came up with a way of picking it up by having at least 3 radars around including putting them on planes and then when they pick up the ping from the u boats they just need to triangulate where it came from, it wasnt super accurate but you could work out where with in say 1km there should be a german ship with out requiring a code breaker to work out what the message said
we?
@@adanakebap2731 as in brits, we used systems like Pip-squeak, Huff-duff, gee and later on american LORAN (they dont know how to name things). they all work by working out what direction the german radar ping coming from but not distance, but if you have 3 or more detections spread out pointing towrds the same point you can super narow down where abouts they are
"We're not aiming for the truck!" fukken got me XD
Germans when munitions made by slave labor are defective 😱
what do you mean slaves? slaves arent paid but our workers are paid with their lives
@@qhu3878 Most SS Hauptamt comment ever 😂
Actually 🤓 at that point in the war Germany wasn´t using slave labour in important industries much.
@@qhu3878Enclave pfp checks out, can imagine Horigan saying this lol
@@dereinepeterpan5637 true! Good point
Be less planes if you warmed your torpedos
this is a game i would never want to play but its interesting to watch
Bro didn't heat up his torpedoes and wonders why no explosion
Man straight up going through the US Navy's Mk.14 Torpedo arc lmao
If College makes the next video 21 days from now, he'll have time to think and will gain 25% extra experience from the last video.
Thumbnail goes hard College
College your videos keep getting better man! Keep it up! I love this watching you play this game so far! 😊😊
heating my torpedo to this rn
Waited so long for this vid thank you
12:00 average port strike experience in hoi4
Depends when fighting an ai that puts single Capitals on ports with no air covr its good outherwise yeah
YES ITS BACK BABY PART 3 LETS GO BABY
part of the issue with torp duds is that your angle is too high, when you look at the fire solution, there is an angle calculation and it has a warning on it you want it to be low
I have like 400 hours in this game, and still have "WTF moments" 😅 like during one of the mine laying missions last night. There was around 9 destroyers/corvettes in the area. I was silent running/blue light rigged, and going as slow as possible. I even stayed around 2 Kms away from from them. I thought it was going very well until i got the "enemy ships are in battle stations", and sailed right at me. My stern section got flooded and i sunk to the bottom, but it was only 12 meters deep so i sat at the bottom repairing until they got bored and left. RIP to Johann my best mechanic and also linguists 😢
ok pro tip :
1) use HE rounds on the AA for planes and AP for ships
2) when plotting attack, have your commander with 2 crewmen on the attack periscope because it speeds up the data collection, extends aiming range etc
3) have an officer on the Torpedo Data Calculator
4) Go to crew skills and pick specialisations for your officers. Choose the one for the engineer that has him primarily occupied with torpedo maintainance when attacking. That way you'll have torpedoes at the ready. You can even assign a second engineer to torps if you have one
5) if manual aim is difficult, let the crew do it. Select a ship-> target-> choose whoever is on the attack periscope + the hydrophone. idk why but the officer operating the hydrophone can also target a ship, but i think that it a skill available on the skill board
we want more
warming the torpedos sound like a headlight fluid type of joke...
Corvette at 2:08 stopped moving so it could run ASDIC
If you want to aim the torpedoes more accurately you need to use the map and the graphing tools to calculate the angle not using the subs equipment
7:30 that was straight cold lol
failure rates are why in EVERY submarine game i always keep targets just to whats absolutely necessary, then expend the resources to double tap with the first salvo.
There have been thousands of men who were trapped underwater and ultimately died. Three men survived 16 days before dying in the hull of Oklahoma at Pearl Harbour.
The flag can be lowered if you click it ; it was only used in ports. In open sea, flying the flag is like saying, "Look at me, I'm here."
aw hell yeah
Ayy I literally just watched your other Uboat video and wished for more lol
Brother just wanna say that Portugal traded with both Allies and Axis nations, Germany in specific, so atleast be kind enough to not sink my ancestors' ships😢
sink everyone
return to piracy
damn this is sick as heck, why can't I have this level of sim-strategy & management for my ideaguy™ PMC OG XCOM like game
really nice video. please continue
12:50 yes....
Genuinely only 10% of all convoys were ever attacked and only 10% of ships in them sunk.
That means that you'd have a 99% chance of surviving the crossing as a merchant ship, obviously people made more than one trip mostly, hence why people eventually did experience being attacked, and sometimes it was multiple U-boats hitting multiple cargo ships and wiping out a whole convoy, but that just meant 9 other convoys slipped through unmolested.
At only 2 times in the whole war did the Uboats sink the amount of tonnage (for a month) they estimated they'd need to sink continually for about 1 year, and that estimate was lower than the amount they'd actually need to sink because their intelligence didn't account for things like the WarAg increasing domestic food production.
BBC documentaries and British historians like to catastrophize and over exaggerate for dramatic effect how close we were to surrender, but when you compare it to the siege of Leningrad the people of the UK were doing perfectly fine during WW2, in fact the Germans came closer to starving out Britain in WW1 with Uboats and that tonnage war gets largely forgotten.
Even without the Americans entering the war and building their own cargo ships the British shipyards were outproducing cargo ships compared to how quick the Germans could sink them, similar to how during the Battle of Britain the problem was not a shortage of planes but rather a shortage of pilots, the main difference being that Britain (as an island nation with proud naval history, and seafaring being much simpler than flying) had no shortage of people to work on cargo ships, and yes, ultimately, if push came to shove, trained Naval Officers would have been removed from escort ships and those ships left at anchor, in order to keep massive numbers of cargo ships going across, even if it meant unescorted.
And convoys coming in to "Western Approaches" really did take two different theories the whole war, large convoys where the chances that something gets through are much higher and can be escorted by military ships AND lone vessels where the idea was that they were less likely to be found (ten individual cargo ships travelling hundreds of nautical miles apart rather than ten all grouped up next to each other) and even if found less likely to be attacked as a Uboat "may not want to waste torpedoes and give away his position when there COULD be a massive convoy coming along any day....only to discover nothing came and they should have fired when they had the chance"
Shout out College, i cant wait for more of your mishaps
that fucking shot in the first few minutes hurt my soul.
Put the torps by the space heater bro
We want to see more of this!!!!
If you shoot down Sunderlands or other planes you can actually go to the wreckage and possibly capture the pilots if they survive the crash. If you do they are always officers.
Fishermen around the globe despair
Bro doesn't understand how cavitation generates shit tons of noise underwater.
Great video, would love to see more in the med
These videos are fun. I hope you make at least a few more videos on your submarine adventures. I wonder if this game allows for alternative history outcomes too...
When in torpedo aim mode you have angle at the right corner. If it has sign next to it, it means that there is a good chance torpedo won't go off. You can lower depth of the torpedo to fix that.
Awesome Video!
Heated torpedos gaming
All torpedos created with approval from Colonel Klink!
More U boat yes please
That is a banger thumbnail.
Glad to see this game again
I have no words for the torpedo performance, I think it was a unlucky combination of torpedo depth and Angle on Bow (AoB) so that torpedo bounced right off the hull. Shots like these usually go just fine for me, maybe try a Magnetic pistol (MZ) next time but you have to set the MZ torpedo a Meter deeper than the targets draft since you want these going off under the enemy instead of on the waterline
The torpedo blowing up 350 meters away from the target :
@@cideltacommand7169 I think that is just based on chance and the player has no influence on these torpedo failures, but the other duds that actually hit the ship probably were these unlucky hits
@@Rudi_Winklaa impacts are more reliable than magnetic
YESSSSS!!!!!! It's back!!!!!!!
MUSIC >>> LOUD, HURT EARS. YOUR VOICE SOOTH, EQUILIBRIUM ... SATISFACTORY
if a torpedo is about to hit and you have time compression going on its 99% gonna be a dud, its a bug that has been in game for ages
Play The Campaign for North Africa!
THIS IS BEST VIDEO FROM THIS GAME
Personally i like hugging my torpedos so they are warm and comfy
You can heat my torpedo
"Is the plan to send more ships than uboats can sink?" Literally yes that was the plan
Congrats on making it through Gibraltar! Steam says less than 3% of players made it.
Almost as many as U-Boat captains 🤭
You can shoot those big planes out when you use the cannon form the uboat
we need more
The Chad Scatter Shotter vs. the Virgin Torpedo Heater
i like the video but try to turn off visibility make it way harder when you dont see if you got spotted or not :)
you wouldn't have missed so much if you warmed your torpedoes
Reached the goal in 1 day. Nice
PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
i wait this so long ilike this guy is the best🎉🏅
damn i LOVE this game its a banger
I don’t know if you’re saving and loading, but you need to restart your game every time you do or torpedoes don’t work
Keep them torpedos toasty
College is getting heated about the '''forced volunteers''' not building the torpedoes correctly
do more workers and resources videos pretty pleaseeeee
Have you considered warming the electric torpedoes?
Lets goooo boat but underwater go yes
This game reminds me a lot of Bomber Crew, you should check it out
4:26 - 4:35
Just how it was with the American torpedoes at the beginning of the Pacific war :D
6:30 - 6:39
Just like the real Abwehr :D
8.4 K in one day? Wow, thats impressive
BTW There is a nice 200 page game manual
Anyone interested in listening to IRL U-Boat info.. Hit me up. I'm gonna be uploading hours of interrogation reports.
As a German I approve of this man
4:32 Hey, at least yours explode more often than the MK.14 ever did before someone wrangled BuORD into fixing them.
please more collegeman
we are so back
MOAR NAOW
WE WANT MORE
Were these torpedoes made by American Torpedo Ordinance?!?
