What is Silent Hunter III?
The king of submarine simulations returns with an all-new 3D engine, new crew command features, and more realistic WWII naval action than ever before. The movie-like graphics and simple, tension-filled gameplay make this the perfect game for the realism fanatic and the casual gamer.
Realistic and immersive environment: The suspense-filled atmosphere includes realistic 3D water modeling, day/night cycles, and historically accurate subs, ships, and aircraft. The detailed U-boat interiors, changing weather effects, and engaging audio represent the ultimate in WWII submarine warfare.
Playable U-boats include Type II, VII, IX, and XXI submarines. Take aim against Allied convoys and warships. In recreating the great submarine battles of WWII, players will hide in silence just below threatening escort ships, fire deadly torpedoes, or surface and pound enemies with the deck gun.
Dynamic campaign: Create your own realistic naval war story. Your military career will be influenced by successful command decisions in an unscripted and non-linear WWII campaign.

That view of the u-boat passing the wreck at the end... magnificent, it gave me shivers.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You should try to escape to Argentine when May will be close.
please, make this happen
YES
Oi you there...no boarding without vaild tickets. Your tickets please. 😈
Or a direct attack on NYC or London.
What a nice idea! I support that!
January 29th, morning hours
"Dear mother and father,
Today we once again sail out of Bergen towards the enemy controled seas. I hope things are not too bad back at Hamburg and I hope allied bombers have not claimed our home. I pray that this madness will end quickly so that i can see you once again like i did in april of 1943. My, that seems like it was so long ago, yet, i still have hope that soon i will once again return to Hamburg and that we will all have a family dinner once again. Have you kept in contact with my dear Erika? I have tried to contact her many times but still got no response. I hope she is alright as well during these harsh times. And so, once again, you will not hear from me quite some time. I hope i will once again return to shore and be able to read your letter.
Stay safe,
Your dear Karl."
Later that day:
Once again, the entire crew made ready for their departure from port. Everything was set and so, in the late hours of january 29th, they once again departed Bergen with only token cheering from the few german guards and staff that were there with them. Soon, they left the fjords of Norway and were once again in the open seas....
January 30th, early morning
Enjoying the nice weather, Karl was lost in his thoughts as he stared towards the sea in front of him. His moment of peace ended when the captain tapped him on the sholder. Turning his head towards the captain, the navigator knew what was happening, but still, he waited for the captain to speak. "It is time, N.O." Hearing those words, the navigator nodded and then straightened up, only adding: "Understood, captain" before he went towards the hatch. Before going down it, he enjoyed the air and the sight for a final moment before going down into the submarine. Once in, he heard the captain climbing down and closing the hatch. This signaled the start of another underwater journey. Once the captain got off the ladder he orderd that the boat dive to periscope depth. And so, after a few moments, the submarine once again dissapeared beneath the waves, and began her long underwater stay. "New course captain?" the navigator asked when the process was done. "Towards the English east coast N.O." he replied before he leaned leaned over the map along with the navigator to set the course towards their patrol target....
Diary of a u-boat navigator:
January 30th, 1945
Today we once again dived our boat after leaving the Norvegian shores. Another underwater adventure awaits us. This time, the BdU wants us to be a costal submarine and ordered us to patrol near the british east coast. This will be quite akward for our submarine as it was not built for operating this close to enemy shores. Still, we will do our mission and hope that we don't encounter enemy destroyers while in the shallowest parts of our patrol area. A single depth charge could force us to the surface in these shallow waters, still, in the worst case, we won't be crushed to death by water pressure and instead have a chance to fix our boat on the sea floor. Let us hope we won't have to face that scenario.
February 4th, 1945
Today 3 small merchants were spoted, no escorts. We got into attack position but their sudden course change ruined our attack plan and we had to impovise. In the end we only fired 1 torpedo at the back merchant and hit. We could hear her hit the sea floor, it was that shallow. After that, we decided to disengage and try to attack a nearby convoy, a better target for our torpedoes.
February 5th, 1945
We missed the convoy, but we found a lone small merchant. One torpedo later, it was going down towards the shallow depths. Small pickings so far, but at least no danger as well.
February 7th, 1945
Looks like luck is with us so far on this patrol, we found more unescorted merchants this close to Britan. These ones were bigger than the small ones we faced so far, so it's a bonus. At first, we fired 3 torpedoes, 2 at a large freighter and 1 at a liberty cargo. While the freighter went down, the liberty cargo was stuborn and refused to sink so we fired another one at her. While that one stopped her dead, she still refused to sink after hours of waiting. A third torpedo was fired at her and it was finaly enough to brake her back. A loud sound could be heard as she hit the seafloor. After that was done with, we went back to our new course of going through the channel and towards the irish sea. Before we left the area, i asked the captain to use the periscope and was granted my request. I could see the masts of both ships sticking out of the sea, marking their graves for who knows how many years to come...
(Another long one. I just couldn't resist. Anyway, as always, i hope you enjoy my little aditions to the searies. Now we wait for the next episode once again. Have a good day everyone :) )
i like such comments...feels like added content to the gameplay :)
Great work!:)
please don't ever stop doing these.
imagine being the crew of that last cargo and getting sunk. sitting in your liferaft you can see a giant hulking shape under the sea drifting by a mere ten meters from your sinking ship.
BDU really seems to want to get you killed with these patrol zones...
Seems like Reader has some political clashes with the captain of the XXI u boat
It’s would be Donitz but yeah
@@dylanbenway1816 Donitz is turning a blind eye on this whole ordeal.
Whenever one of your subvideos appear in my timeline, the Das boot theme starts playing inside my head.. :)
Best thing I got the Blue Ray Das Boot for xmas cause I like watching these vids so much wife said
4h30m of pure joy
Schneller Schneller!!! Not yet comradenn not yettt
@@antonioestevesala1782 the ending is so emotional as well.. The one time where one feels bad for the Kriegsmarine
Coffee, Single Malt Scotch & a 44 minute Wolfpack video !!
Perfection.
Or edibles .... to each their poison.
I hate how YT compression does such great disservice to your wonderful videos. Thanks for another upload, Wolfy!
It really is a pain lol.
I think you should say you're a scientist, or the allies will be pretty angry
I've got a.. umm.. Practical Doctorate in.. uhh.. Maritime Commerce Tactics and Logistics..? Please?
New fan here Wolfpack, I discovered your channel when searching for Desert Wings Tobruk. Since then I started playing SH3 for the first time since 14 years haha. Keep up the good work.
Welcome to the channel!!
@@Wolfpack345 Hopefully we can fly together one day. In the meantime, looking forward to the next Battle of Moscow campaign episode :).
I love the idea of doing ‘out there’ patrols where you go somewhere completely different. Someone suggested Argentina or New York as two fun targets. Adding the Crimea or ports in the Mediterranean may be quite fun for a similar reason, as you’d have to get through Gibraltar
Also, love the final shot
The Mediterranean seems reasonable...
you know its Friday when a new Silent Hunter III episode from Wolfpack is uploaded
Yes, because that's when he uploads SH3 videos.
Or very early Saturday morning, depending on where you are ;)
Great series.....thank you for carrying on the saga....really, really apreciate the time you spend on this. Thank you Sir.
Thank you very much for watching!
There's barely enough water to keep the boat hidden under the surface!
Haha it was cutting it close for sure!
The war almost over, now is the time to think about retirement plan, how about nice retreat out in Caribbean? Or maybe you want to go to middle east? Cairo? Maybe south east asia? One thing for sure stay in germany is not great.
I think Captain Kurt will end up awnsering to the Allied powers.
Message received from BDU, the notification Wolfpack is here!
I don’t know if it’s been mentioned here before or not, but the boat number you’ve gotten is quite prestigious. The U-2513 was the final command of Erich Topp before the surrender.
Did anyone else feel the utter futility of sinking cargo ships in Feb. of 1945? Such a good level of immersion watching this. If you are a U Boat captain I guess its business as usual no matter how lost the war is. good video.
Wow, stellar patrol. I loved the zag example proving zig-zagging was worth the time and risk (many ship collisions until merchant crew learned the process). The XXI is an amazing weapon system.
Always a new video. When it's dinner time
Perfect!
Man this is so good! Im sad that you may only get one more patrol after this one (knock on wood) before the war ends. I’d love to see more of the Type XXI series. Especially one series where you literally go after those massive warship flotilla’s like last video. It would be really cool to see what these could do against a hunter-killer group
You make it look so easy in the 21. Followed the Type 7 for the entire series. At least with that boat, you would occasionally get a hair cut.
Love the 21. Like fish in a barrel.
Yeah it is pretty easy... That is why I am trying to make it harder on myself lol.
I love you, thanks for the upload.
Gascan: aww, you should have waited for a tugboat to show up for the Liberty. Then torpedo it, and drag 'em both down!
me: Nope. It's not deep enough to drag a tugboat down.
Haha it would have been awesome to see the tugboat come over there.
Both ships finally sunk .... 6 inches to the bottom, "decks-a-wash" :D
Hey mate, great to see you got another series going. I finally got a working version and have started playing myself, I started my career at the start of the war and my first patrol took me to AN 56 funnily enough. Guess what I ran into coming out of the Firth of the Forth? The HMS Nelson!!! I fired my 3 torpedo tubes, got 2 hits right in the middle and sank it!!! Also, I believe you and I used to game together....
Oh awsome work!
What game?
@@Wolfpack345 Neverwinter Online, if you're the person I think you are we were in the same guild and ran alot of dungeons together, If not, you sound EXACTLY the same and have the same mannerisms as this person. Yea and you know how the deep the water is there, whilst I was bookin it out of there one of the Cruiser Escorts, which passed just in front of me as I fired the torpedoes, couldn't find me even though it was the middle of the day and my conning tower kept breaching the surface lol
@@Wolfpack345 Sorry I thought I replied to ya lol Neverwinter online, we were in the same guild and ran alot of content together if you're who I think you are :)
That last shot... Very nice, dramatic and cinematographic :)
Hehe I thought it was a cool one as well.
Dude I love you :) I'm happy every time you post Silent Hunter III series. This should be going on forever.
Those Waters are so shallow, you'll never have to scrape off the barnicales.
The dockyard workers need something to do :p
Be careful, that close to the coast, definitely will be mines :D Learned it the hard way :D No, not running into one but seeing one a meter away from my boat at external view while submerged :D If they removed those late war, I dunno.
Not only just mines. Mines that laid down to be treat ONLY to submerged targets. BDU lost 3 subs in 1939 at Dover Strait, and prohibit that way for subs.
Lets send the torpedo to it new home...los....lmao that was funny as hell. Keep these 44 minute episodes coming too brother.
Thanks man!
Aaahhhh end of the week and there’s a Wolfpack video waiting for me. Happy days 👍
Also it’s not “Hartellpool” it’s “Hart-ley-pool” 😉
It's not a Wolfpack video if I don't mispronoce something lol.
@@Wolfpack345 😁😁😁
Set the depth to 10m, raise the snorkel, raise the radar.
Voilaaa! You can reach 17kt without restriction from H.Sie Patch, plus the Radar detection capability.
Wow, such a bountiful harvest just off the British coast! I wonder if you'll run out of ordnance before you even get to the Irish Sea.
Haha maybe I will!
Next time you count "1 loan merchant ship, 2 loan merchant ships, 3!" you need to do The Count's laugh from Sesame Street. Hahahaha! ;)
Lol!
Patrol 16, Part 3
The year is 1949, the war has been over for many years now. But I must keep on going. As long as cargo exists....I must sink...
Soldier from TF2 be like
It’s pronounced “Heart-lee-pool” but your pronunciation is brilliant and I’m going to use it.
I said it how it is spelled! ;)
That Course change ^^ gotta love it, i'd say thats probably tactics too to make uboat attacks less likely/harder. Kaleun's had to think on their feet for sure! :)
I'm really loving these vids. Just started playing silent hunter 2 on my old computer. Got silent hunter 3 coming.
Going through the English channel to patrol the Irish sea? You've really gone mad!
Anti-sub mines in the entrances to the Irish Sea killed at least three U-boats in 1945.
heck yea
Edit: really cool shot at the end there, well done
Thanks!
You would think that the Allies would have been out there with at least a float plane within three to four hours of over 17,000 tons of shipping being torpedoed just a few miles off the coast, especially this late in the war with the air superiority they have. Also, those torps on those little boats would have broken them in half...but it's still pretty hilarious to see small figures getting blown off the boats. The Liberty ships were fairly tough, especially around the engine spaces. Maybe putting a torp in the aft section to at least wreck the screws would be a good idea going forward.
They were there. I am not going to see them all underwater.
@@Wolfpack345 Glad they didn't see you either, then. Wasn't much room to maneuver in that shallow water.
I love your videos bro. Excellent tactics and commentary. I have subscribed.
Welcome aboard!
always a good day when you upload 45 min worth of Sh3!!!
Hope you had a great day!
Suggestion for the torpedo impacts. Position the camera to the bow or stern of the ship with the shot down the length of the ship. Have the torp come in from the left or right of the screen.
"Message from all U-boat captains to all merchants. Stay still!"
Hi and a Happy New Year to you wolf pack.
On your sail around the UK could you take a snap of what Great Yarmouth looks like please and Hartlepool is said 'Hart -Lee-Pool. 😉
Another great video, great job Wolf loved it.
Thank you as always Arthur!
I've been stuck on shore leave at the local funny farm til recently so this is belated, but I swear Captain I heard an elf at 15:53. Are we sure they didn't make a base at the north pole too? Or are we recruiting dwarves too now...times are dire indeed.
That last ship is a HASZARD to navigation were it sank. Also an easy salvage.
It's 1945. I think BDU will take it lol.
And I shall watch this while eating my dinner as I sit on my toilet bowl so that I feel immersed wholeheartedly 😅
44 minutes, oh yes, that will do it.
Haha
24:11
You guys wanna leave the cannon and join us in the life raft or what? We're bloody sinking.
Nah we cool
Have to think you’d be easy to spot from the air in the very shallow water.
I mean.. how clear is the north sea really?
@@Wolfpack345 I know boats were spotted a snorkel depth in open water, so it wouldn’t surprise me.
Good luck running the channel!
Haha we will see how it goes.
No misses. Hope the weekend goes as well for you.
Really wish you will rethink the Channel run. That place is a death trap.
Haha we will see.
OI! bugger off from my river!!!! Newcastle in the house.
Since everyone is throwing out all kinds of wacky suggestions I figure I'd throw my hat in the ring and suggest you try to traverse the Suez Canal or the Panama Canal in the Type XXI, possibly to "Make an escape" so to speak at the end of the war. Suez would be particularly interesting because it would benchmark the Type XXI against the Strait of Gibraltar defenses in 1945 on the way there, see just how stealthy, evasive and long the battery endurance is of the Electroboot.
I've always found Large Cargo's to be one of the easiest merchants to sink, you pop one magnetic somewhere underneath and then they just flood, and flood, and flood... older design I guess. Conversely I have always found Liberty Cargo's along with Ore Carriers to be the most resistant to damage, especially magnetic pistols, which is curious. I always aim for the forward cargo masts, get that screw lifted out of the water so she can't run ;)
Last thing, I think the technical term is "She's down by the bow" or "She's settling by the stern" as I believe listing refers exclusively to the perpendicular of the keel, and settling is parallel along the keel. She can also "settle amidships" whereas it wouldn't make sense for her to be "Listing to amidships". Just some semantics though, not a real issue.
I can already see you're getting that blaze U-boat Kaleun vibe after a short time in the seal clubbing piece of engineering that is the Type XXI, just don't get too lax ;)
Absolutely loving this mini-series, wringing my hands waiting for the next one as always. Keep up the fantastic work!
Be carefull on mines on la manch canal
Great Hunt :D
A periscope view of that freighter would have been cool as you were cruising past it at the end.
First few hours of the video being posted and over 1K likes, says it all right there :)
@Wolfpack345 : 1m under keel is too low for these large targets. It doesn't do enough damage, as damage falloff from range is WAY to high in this game. Especially in calm see, go for 0,5m to ensure an instakill. In heavy seas, that can sadly lead to them bouncing off from the rounded part of the ships hull ... Or use (draft-1,5m) and go for the lower part of the vessels side. Resulting list might kill them equally fast.
IIRC FAT torps must be adjusted , they don't automatically start the search pattern at the target distance set in the computer; can't remember how this is done, though.
Oh, never(*) set up a acoustic torp to run under the largest target - nothing else will set them off then if they go for another target. Set them to barely run under a DD. That way, if they miss the DD, they will happily detonate against the side of some freighter - or if you aim for some freighter, a DD might pay for getting in the way.
(*) unless you are coming 100° from the side into a hunter-killer group and you're shooting the torp at the butt of the CVE basically from behind at 80° angle, without doing any calculations. Then set it to 0,5m under keel for the CVE, point the crosshair at the stern of the CVE and fire, go "Große Fahrt" and deep and switch to outside cam for the fireworks - man, that was fun ;-)
Yes!
Better than anything on TV!
I'm 30 seconds in. Great video man keep up the awesome content
I did a model of u96 the German uboat submarine and the best war videos you could show the world of tanks battles and my favourite tanks is the German tiger 1 and m4a1 Sherman tank and you could do a real videos of Australian armoured artillery museum in Smithfield QLD Australia
Broo please more UBOAT!! You’ve been teasing me with these uploads
Hoping for Sunday. Next week fore sure!
Excellent as always
Cheers!
No! Now we must wait a whole week for the next episode.
Man with such stealth I think you should see if you can maybe at the end of this patrol, see if can get into Scapa flow to see if you can sink a ship like when the Royal Oak was sunk in 1939. know if your able to as a small Krigsamrine hell Mary. 🧐😏
I'd like to see Type 23 gameplay.
Interior would be cool.
I would like to build an unarmed replica.
Ask yourself what would you do for your final patrol when you know the war is lost? I would get fueled up and head for Argentina or Brazil.
I won't spoil it but the shot of the sub at the end of the video was great!
Glad you liked it!
Yes some type 21 gameplay finally
Bought SH3 because of you and to be honest watching you is better than actually playing it.
As much as you hate port raids, I would love to see a scapa flow raid in this boat. I could never pull it off but I bet you could at night with the right sea state
Wolfpack345 as always great content! Also I would love to know what mods you use. If you have a moment please let me know. Or possibly it may be best to make a whole video about it as I'm sure most of your followers would be interested.
V/R -Spadz
Great job wolf pack
I know when I play silent hunter 5 if I see liberty cargo ship I have to pre heat the torpedos and fire two of them to ensure it will make the liberty cargo down to the floor
I hope a new silent hunter game gets rumored soon. I really hope they'll do maybe the Japanese subs. They had really interesting designs like the I-400 which could carry planes!
Please make a video detailing how to install your modset, I'd love to try it for sure!
I know the ships shoot at you, Wolfpack345, at incredible angles when they are nearly sunk like the liberty cargo in this episode. What if you were to shoot at them w/ the bow gun from the high side? So the sloping deck was away from your boat? Circle around the disabled (or slow) ship and pump lead into the upturned hull entering from a vulnerable angle?
16:25 is that a dude in that front mast wiggeling about
I use to love playing this , but unfortunately my rig won’t allow it any more , one question why not set your torpedoes lower , say one meter under the draft of the ship , thus breaking the back , the later magnetic were better standard
How can i install mods like you have? I bought the game bc of your videos and i wanna try to mod it :)
Another great video
Watch new Wolfpack345?
Yes.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessss.....
Great stream - such shallow waters , no escorts
Great videos! keep it up!
I bought the game on steam on sale, I managed to get grey wolves and commander to work but I couldn't find download links that still work for most of the rest of the mods that you have in the description. Meaning my game is in 4:3 and looks terrible compared to yours. Also have u seen the new magnetic detonator mod for uboat? It works really well and fixes the depth problem with the torpedos, equally as must have as the tdc mod for me
another great video. any chance of doing a tutorial for manual targeting?
The cargo was hit aft because it was at a slightly longer range.
Great video!
I'd actually love to see you play from the otherside and try to protect convoys if it would be possible.
Gosh can't wait for pt 2
Pro tip: You can avoid being detected by staying below the surface. Its called diving.
Are you serious?
At least you didn’t fire before the course change
Jawoll Jungs wir haben ihn! LEISE!!!
Man, you shoulda had aircraft all over your dropin death left and right. So close to shore and so shallow, they might've been using cannons.
There were quite a few aircraft around. Like the one I showed..
@@Wolfpack345 oh really? I must've missed the plane. Was an exciting episode anyways.
I need to make some popcorn
😄
