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 B-17 literally crashed almost exactly where my apartment building is in Bergen
Is the floating dock still getting bombed?
@@benjaminprince6424 Every damn day
@@TheCrazyIrishCat Somethings never change...
Sail up the Thames, surface, and give Parlaiment a good dusting with the anti-aircraft.
Do it
Reminder, that Wolfpack has successfully kept U-531 alive 1 year, 20 days longer than the actual U-531 did.
@Colin young Just because you can do it in Silent Hunter, it doesn’t mean you can do it in real life.
@@nissethepear4743 And that is a fact
@Jack the Gestapo Sunk on first patrol by HMS Snowflake. Not a proud Kregsmarine achievement
@@nissethepear4743 I do believe that Wolf would actually be able to do this in real life
His crew would mutiny from the ridiculously long patrols and abuse. He should be the weapons officer plotting torpedo tracks and settings.
1944 and forward is definitely risky. I pegged down four strategies of engagement: 1) If you are to hunt convoys, load up on acoustics in case of early detection and basically either try shooting your way into the convoy, engage the tonnage, and then try to slip away going the opposite direction. Preemptive attacks on escorts are usually more wise than foolish. 2) Hunt more lone merchants routes, alternatively small port raids 3) Get the XXI and kick ass. 4) Desert to Argentina.
1. Yeah this is an idea. This is not realistic though. Homing torpedoes were not produced like TIII torpedoes for example. Also at this point the allies had counters to acoustic torpedos like the Foxer decoy. Preemptive attacks on escorts is still pretty foolish. Especially when there is 8+ escorting one convoy. I will be hunted regardless.
2. This is a good idea. There isn't many of these around at this point however. Port raids are suicidal.
3. That is the plan.
4. The easiest option for sure.
@@Wolfpack345 1. Yes if you go for hard core realism that is probably true, but the homing torpedoes are OP in SH3 GWX. Don't know about the original game. In my experience they rarely failed and act very persistent once locked. I played with everything except stabilizer and no contact updates. But I did txt.cheat to acquire the XXI and thus had a lot of renown for goodies. 2) I did manage some successful port raids on the Azores (when hostile) and St. Johns, eh. To my understanding there are some single merchants still roaming in 1944+, especially tankers coming up from Brazil along the African coast, and generally stuff roaming on the US coast.
Historically, the U-boats began shooting torpedoes at extremely long range - near the maximum range the torpedo could make at slowest speed - and then diving away to escape without waiting to see if the torpedoes hit anything.
jajjaja, desert to argentina
im from argentina and its a good idea, you can go to the port of Mar del Plata of the city of Buenos Aires
@@Wolfpack345 yes one still should aim homing torpedoes, & ASAP take a full load of nothing else when I play
Two episodes in one week, well hot damn!! Aren't we a lucky fanbase ;)
seeing as the previous episode was "begin patrol, exit pen, make it 100 meters into the harbor, get bombed, end patrol" I'm not entirely surprised :P
Guess them destroyers where the ones guarding a particular flattop you perforated and had a bone to pick
Looks that way haha!
german sub: *leaving dock*
british bombers: "it`s free real estate"
just subbed, i have been watching you play for a while now through recommended and its a shame subsim isnt as popular cause you should get alot more subscribers with the amount of effort you put in.
Welcome aboard! Thanks for your kind words. I appreciate it.
@@Wolfpack345 been playing UBOAT and Cold waters myself. this game seems way more stable though. do you recommend the newest games in the franchise?
Dutchygamerz Silent Hunter 3 is from 2004/2006, so it’s Not the youngest 😂
Dutchygamerz but the best subsims are Wolfpack, UBOAT, Sh3, Sh4 and Cold Waters
@@ger_airfighter well yes, i meant the newer silent hunters actually, if he recommended the newer ones, otherwise i was just gonna buy this one
When the sausages start swinging with force, you know you're in trouble.
The happy times are gone. The days of raiding till the torpedo rooms are empty seem to have passed.
Indeed they have.
"The days of raiding till the torpedo rooms are empty seem to have passed"
Well, actually, no. Late war U-boat tactics were to fire a full spread of torpedoes at very long range (about 4-5,000 meters), and then run away immediately without waiting to see if any of them hit.
Of course, firing at such ranges meant that 90% of torpedoes missed.
Ive been keeping track of Wolfpack's tonnage and strangely they have been going up (during Patrol 6 & 8) where he sank more tonnage than in Patrol 2, during the Happy Times. He sank 72k tons in Patrol 2, 63k in 3, 65k in 4 but sank 111k in 5, 73k in 6 and 76k in 8. Interesting to note is that Patrol 8 could have been his best patrol if he had used externals, racking up 76k only with his internal storage.
My gosh, think I'll have to take a nerve pill. This was so well presented. Wonderful job.
Thanks! I figured I should show myself being hunted a bit more.

Im an retired US sub sailor and while Ive never experienced anything like this , but this channel episodes just keep getting better and better . Please survive this boatmate.Cant wait till see what happens as real life stuff calls me away
Thank you for your service
Once the convoy changed direction it was a chase and a bust. Their radar is just too good now to remain undetected in anything but the foulest weather. That depth charge attack was a doozy.
I would just like to point out that in addition to bringing very high quality content, he takes his time to respond to most of the comments, you don't see this every day these days.
Keep up the amazing work!
Haha I try my best! It is starting to get a bit overwhelming though 😄
@@Wolfpack345 Haha i can understand, but still, very remarkable from your part ;D
Convoy spotted, moving slow. "Alright let's go!" Contact Task force moving slow same direction, "It's a traaaaaap!"
"The flak barge keeps firing at something..." -- Cue Yoda's Seagull song! {g} (But probably the AI is shooting at/toward the B-17 on the ground still sputtering its engines.)
Well god damn that situation went south very quick. Good work on your part. The immersion was very good in this video, sat here in my cozy chair and shaking with my cup of tea.Thanks for all the effort you're putting in this videos man.Keep it up.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Well last episode was short... I hope for a good long patrol. Lets see!
At least we got out of port this time..
@@Wolfpack345 I mean hey at least it was a interesting change of pace to have it cut short by the air raid!
The contact report for the convoy said they were heading West North West, but you plotted their course as North North West, hence the confusion about them changing course.
Yeah I realize that now. Ooops.
@@Wolfpack345 It was actually NNW you plotted instead of WNW
@@Wolfpack345 nevermind lol. Loving the episodes btw. They've been brilliant so far, and I'm really looking forward to you getting the Type 21!
That was tense, I thought that this was going to be the end of the series. Kudos to those destroyers, they did a hell of a job defending their convoy. I think it would make for a great episode for you to attempt to reengage that convoy.
Your flak gunners have had a fair part of target practice trying to get out of the port. Fact is things are getting harder for U-boot cammanders to score tonnage. I'm getting the impression that surviving the war is getting more & more difficult by the minute. Happy hunting and keep up the good work.
You really have a gift for narrating gameplay like this, I've watched every episode in the last 3 weeks and loved every one of them. Really appreciate the effort you put into your videos, it shows!
PS you tracked that convoy at 14:00 ish NNW instead of WNW, just a heads up :P
Cool man, you're great at immersing us. Nice job.
Thank you.
46:52
Not yet Kameraden, not yet!
I love your videos. I'm a 53yr old man w/spinal injury from drunk driver but watch all your vids great entertainment! Keep the great work. They need to model the fact that fleet escorts only carried 30 depth charges. Dedicated hunters up to 300 but that was rare. The greatest amount of depth charges dropped on a single U-boat during a single-hunt in the war is believed to be 678 dropped onto U-472 in April, 1945. Amazingly the boat survived. The Hedgehog was the real threat. Even after depth charges changed from TNT to Torpex they still had to get within 40 meters to real damage to the hull. Keep up the great work 👍. Can't wait for next video.
Happy to hear you enjoyed the video! GWX accurately models the number of depth charges carried on the Destroyer Escorts. The Buckley for example carries around 200 depth charges. These dedicated Destroyer Escorts were not rare in the Atlantic. I could not find a source stating Allied Escorts only carried 30 Depth charges. I believe even Fletchers carried more than that but my brief search did not come up with concrete numbers.
When Googling "How many depth charges did the ww2 destroyer have" I discovered this "typical load out on a fleet destroyer was about 30 depth charges" This was the first thing that came up in this search. That article is referring to Japanese Fleet Destroyers in the Pacific. Not Allied Destroyers.
@@Wolfpack345 Ahh that's exactly what I typed in...good catch I didn't see that it was for Japanese destroyers. I hope considering the aggressiveness of the pounding you took maybe the destroyers may not go back to the convoy and continue hunting north of you. Either way good luck and look forward to the next video. Again thank you for the great entertainment!
We will see! There was also that Hunter killer group in the area so I am not out of the woods yet! Thanks for watching and commenting mate. :)
Fleet escorts presumably applies to fleet destroyers in the Pacific. In the Atlantic, the USN used destroyer escorts that carried around 160 depth charges.
Never has a YT video made me as nervous as this series. You have a way of making these that really immerses the viewer into the crew of the Uboat. Can’t believe I’m rooting for the “enemy”
Two episodes in one week, nice! I am so happy to be a fan of your channel rn.
:D Thanks for watching.
ASDIC hell. With a gang of them after you ...no where to run ...no where to hide. Excellent campaign/series. TY!
I always check video lenght before watching this series to find out in advance whether they got you yet or not. I thought the episode before it was all over and this episode will be full of sick torpedo action. I was wrong both times.
Amazing series btw. You can create the immersion really exceptionally well and the episodes get better over time. Please keep up the great work.
GREAT CINEMATICS!! Excellent my friend. A nail-biting experience for sure. Thank you for your efforts.
Thanks!
That was amazing wolfpack, you done so well to get out of that situation, funnily enough i watched a bit of
Das Boat last night & it was the part just before they dock with the supply vessle in Spain, how they survived that i don't know. Unfortunately for you the chance of running out of ammo was doubtful due to having 3 or 4 hunters on you, so you done super well.
Loving the lore to about the little sub at the start, it was a pleasure to watch this & the last episode, amazing that you were able to leave dock without a repeat of last time.
So looking forward to the next episode, it has to be an hour to m8 just has to be, happy hunting wolfpack.
"Current time, Captain?" "Let's see.." *intense pinging* "8.. past.. 12, it seems. Record that to the Log, please."
Good God Wolf you have got some serious skills. I love this channel!!!!
Thanks man!
Best Birthday ever! I'm so glad to be watching this today! Thank you for the amazing quality of your work! Keep it up! Most entertaining channel I've ever been subscribed to.
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday fellow captain!
That escalated very quickly haha, and the Seagulls only seemed to be interested in your newly stocked food supply :)
Also grats on your almost-20k Wolfpack, channel has grown so fast and rightly so!
Great job great episode you got the atmosphere of being there just right
8:09 rewatching this and it looks like your guys went trigger-happy over a seagull 🤣
Wolfpack single handedly turns back the D-Day landings.
Great stuff Sir! No gamer am I, but a history buff I am. Your narrative is most well done.
man, that was intense! As soon as I started to hear that track you use on such occasions I immediately thought 'well, this is it, just like with the TMO series". Man, waiting another week will be tough!
Managing to stay alive 👍 excellent job, my worst experience in SH3/GWX was in late 1943,in the North Atlantic at the hands of a hunter-killer group,......it lasted six and a half hours in real time!! 😲🤯 I'm convinced it gave me grey hairs 😮
Great drama, love it. I feel like I'm watching Das Boot.
Hedgehogs exist
Girls: Awww SOOO CUTE!!!
The Boys: (Intense sweating)
Excellent work getting out of port! Nice maneuvering!
Yikes! I thought that was gonna be the end for sure when the water started dumping in from the ceiling!
Excellent editing job. Very polished.
Watched some of the later ones and worked back to this patrol.. great episode!!
Wow, that was an intense depth charging. You did a great job getting out of that mess of escorts.
This was amazing. Kudos for the nerves of steel and entertainment. Great game/series.
Good episode, congrats on evasion tactics. I suggest you go hunting single merchants in distant waters (South Atlantic , Brasil, etc.) and avoid convoys with lots of escorts. They have a lot of DC's (hedgehogs included) and only one is more than enough to kill you. Looking forward to next episodes since you are one of the few recording the u-boat gameplay in 1944, when the fight is at its toughest.
Oh gosh..I literally turned gray while was watching this..super exciting video!!
Who needs Netflix?!! Great job!
Well done getting away Kapitain it sure can get tense 4 or 5 hours
later dodging, like you said they will run out of torps, but won,t get bored though lol
watched all very tense happy hunting..
Wow! That was an awesome display of American firepower! What they lack in aim, they make up for with ammunition!
Are you SURE you want to take this big, slow diving, slow maneuvering boat into the shallow waters of the English Channel? I'd rethink that plan if I were you...
I don't think I will get very close before I am scared off. :D
I guess trying to overtake a convoy on the surface is no longer possible, the radar detection range is just too large. I guess you would have to either try to position well ahead of them without making contact and just wait underwater. If they got away welp wait for the next one.
Two episodes back to back and holy hell what an episode this was!
Haha glad you liked it!
@@Wolfpack345 Really looking forward to the XXI!
That was AWESOME!!!!!! So intense!!!! Thought I was watching Das Boot!!!!!
I sneaked into Gibralter and sunk a C3 at it's moorings. Then I had 12 warships after me. A mix of Destoyers and Corvettes plus an armed Trawler and an MTB. Three hours later they were still hunting for me but staying at 220m I was safe..... then the game crashed. I deleted that version and came back to GWX Gold even though the graphics are simpler. So frustrating.... You did well.
I thought we would never see our AA in action but here we are :D
Hahah yeah! We will be seeing it a lot!
I realize that I'm 3 years late but for future campaigns: When depth charges go off they create bubbles, and a lot of 'em (yay bubbles). But something many people don't know is that they create kind of a barrier against those pesky active sonars. You may still hear the pinging, but they sure as shit cant hear where you are with that big wall of bubbles between them and you. These can last for 3-15 minutes some reports say. Furthermore, the sound waves from the underwater explosion also reflect off the seabed and make active sonar useless for a little while, of course shallower water makes the 'echo' to greater effect. I highly doubt they have modelled that in the game but technically after some depth charges go off you should have at least a 3 minute window where you can go flank ahead and change course to slip away unnoticed.
Love the Wolfpack345 submarine series
Each week I look forward to the next installment.....KEEP IT UP!
I find it interesting that the 20mm flak, likely Flak 38's which have a range of 2,400 or so yards/meters is used to engage high flying Halifaxes and B-17's which normally would bomb from 12,000 feet (4000 yards/meters) and up. But its a sub game so ...
This game despite the bugs, was awesome on day one, later mods like Sh commander and greywolves, the latter I was playing brought it to a whole new level.
My god man you had me biting my knuckles lol nice work
Time to show these guys you're a Son of TH-cam and rip the stuffing out of them! Press the attack.
After the Tommies cut the previous patrol awfully short, it's nice to see the crew back in work at sea
We will see how long this one last!
@@Wolfpack345 Well didn't hear you going Code Brown Pants, so that's a plus. Such hectic situations where you're being depth charged truly are a scare.
@@mysteriousgadget7879
44:47
I'm nooot entirely convinced there wasn't at least a very subtle Code Brown Pants issued here hahah!
that was scary man ! holy crap talk about run silent run deep ! thank's man :):)
2 episodes in 1 week? What a blessing!
Well the last one was short and I wanted to keep playing 😀
As always another amazing action-packed adventure
When the sub is contacted by 5 destroyers, it's Leroy Jenkins time.
D:
Wow intense. I thought it was the end. Nerve racking
Damn.. bcs of you I started playing sh3 again.. :) with the same mods, but struggling without map contacts :D
Have you listened to the song “Wolfpack” by Sabaton? Its about convoy ON92s fate.
Jeeeeeeeesus that was intense! Edge of the seat the whole time! Well done surviving that one wolfpack!
Do destroyers have infinate depth charges and hedgehog reloads in SH3 or just a hella lota ammo?
Hell lota ammo :)
A wolfpack is a group of Subs, Not Ships
They have limited ammo. They have a lot but they can run out.
@@ger_airfighter ?
I heard they have 250 depth charges each. But I never counted it myself. :P
Good grief! That was ridiculous! I thought you were a goner for sure
The air raid sirens were a nice touch
Who would have thought it of Johann? Degrading. Shameless.
Damn, they almost got ya. I think Lt. Aldo Raine would have credited those tin can sailors above with 53 Nazi scalps. Everyone would still owe him 47 Nazi scalps because he wants his Nazi scalps!
I cant get enough of these videos. Keep up the awesome work. I wish I could access the mods you have. I attempted to load a mod and broke the whole game. I guess mods don't play well with steam version of SH3
That was more tense than most movies.
Wow, another raid just as you leave port? I dare say that they've got a spy in the base, and they're trying to take you out, since they seem to be arriving right around when you're scheduled to leave port every time! As a side note, are you issued anti-aircraft ammunition for your deck gun? That could help you increase your AA firepower, as well as range.
Also, congrats on surviving that nail-biting experience with those destroyers!
I think the enigma code is definitely cracked, and they're out to bag germany's top U-Boat Ace.
Yeah these raids are going to be more and more frequent. I do have AA ammo for the quad 20. I will switch to it next time!
@@Wolfpack345 *passes this information on to British Admiralty* ¬.¬
That spy must hate floating docks XD
@@Wolfpack345 I was actually referring to your 105mm deck gun, as I know that on surface vessels at least later variants of it could serve a dual-purpose role as both an anti-surface weapon and as a heavy anti-aircraft battery. I think in SH4 there was an AA round option for the US deck guns, although I've never seen anyone use them in game.
Firing T5 towards incoming destroyer might be helpful. Bad thing is that doing down in silent running is very slow until the torpedo is close enough the destroyer.
Sheesh, Wolfpack. But since I'm watching these years after they were recorded, I know you got on a few more patrols. But it doesn't look good. You, and your men, were once the hunters. Now, you are the hunted. These are grim days, indeed.
When you have more than 10% of your presure Air, it was not a Real chase 😎 greetings from Germany 😁
Nice Video 👍
My longest chase was about 10 hours 🙂
painful to watch from beginning to end but so happy you made it through still
Hard, nice. Good to see flak is used.
I have just been subéd to you for like 3 weeks or so, but you bring the right content of what I would like to watch. Keep it up! And start a patreon bcause i would def support you.
He has a patreon. Check the video description.
Holly cow that was a close shave
It feels like they are just aiming for you at this point. XD
Haha probably.
Well what do expect? He's probably the only surviving U-boat Ace left. Not sure if it's compliment or a curse but they get you pegged Wolf. They clearly hate your ass.
Superb as ever. Tense and exciting!!!!
This was your best video ever my man!!
Dang it I missed this live!!! Glad to see it's made though, thanks Wolf!
Thanks for watching!
I really enjoyed it when he started calling for Jesus.
Im so nostalgic, in the next sale im going to buy this game xD
It holds up pretty well.
Still got my original. My fav game for years back in the day.
That was insane. Nice job wolf...
@44:48
lol, pants change required
If the anti air guns fired that fast in real life the barrels would have melted.
The C/38 could Fire 220 rounds per minute practical and 480 rounds per minute cyclic.
Another great episode keep it up!
Thanks!
