This man, has taken a video game and made it "come to life." It was never meant to be this way. Yet. @Wolfpack345, has had me, for YEARS now, an avid FAN! Benchmark.. Please, more? Pretty please??
@Wolfpack345 is, and has been for several years now, my favorite!! It is BECAUSE of his narration that "brings it to life!" I cannot tell you you enthralled I was when Yuri, shot to shit, can't see, wounded with SEVERAL 109's hot on his tail, defiantly pulled his pistol n shot back. While dragging them over his airfield screaming for the flack to HELP ME!!...man, nothing gets better!
When we are being hunted by sonar buoy-dropping aircraft, ASW-helicopters and nuclear powered submarines, that's when we call it "hard" difficulty setting? :)
G64 (alternately F64) was the K Class destroyer HMS Kingston.In reality, she was destroyed in dry dock at Malta by the Luftwaffe whilst under repairs after a through and through hit by a 15" battleship shell from RM Littorio. Her remains were used as a block ship which were scrapped post war. Ironically by the Italians. 😊❤😊
You’ve always played the small, nerdy games I’m into, added an amazing story to all of them, like IL2 great battles, uboat, and destroyer the uboat hunter, making great content. Honestly I don’t know why you don’t have more subscribers.
20:54 Actually... from my research, many of those corvettes/minelayers (pretty sure it's an Algerine-class) particularly the ones in Canadian service like the one you're facing, could carry, like... 90 depth charges. Or more. 💩🙃
Those little corvettes, such as the venerable Flower class, were tenacious little fighters. I would have hated to be on one of those tiny things in a heavy sea.
The Med is interesting. When the idea for this series was introduced I thought it wouldn't be as good as the others, just because the Med has some very strong currents but the game doesn't really model that. I do love SH3 and your story telling.
Your forgot to set your pistols to impact when firing at the Merchant, lucky for you your magnetic warhead went off on the hull...got to double check everything, make it routine.
I always thought the game should identify the flower class corvettes as merchants on the hydrophone, because they were converted whaler hulls with commercial engines. They wouldn't sound like warships realisticly. Same goes for the auxilary merchant cruisers, they were literally ocean liners with deck guns, so how could your crew tell that just by sound?
With how successful this sub is, I'm already imagining it transporting high-ranking Germans to Argentina during its last mission, or even forcing the Allies to surrender all on its own.
Please show a list of your "Personal Addition" Mods and the load order. I've been trying to get this game to look as good as yours and it either crashes or gets messed up other ways. I've watched All of your SH3 videos (including the mods video) and all of your DCS and IL2 content as well. You've taught me a lot. Keep up the great work.
A tense attack indeed. If you had missed that first destroyer...... I'm thinking it might have been curtains. Restricted to 100 m, no decoys and two attackers! The J&K has a lot of depth charges. But fortune favors the brave. :)
Hi Wolfpack! Excellent series, thank you. I just finished binge watching your type ix career and man what a ride that was. I just wanted to let you know how far you’ve come and I hope you enjoy making these videos as much as we enjoy watching them. With flattery out of the way I have two requests, if you’d indulge me. First, would you try going past the Turkish straights into Black Sea and try hunting Soviet ships just for a change of scenery? Second, would you consider making a type ii career series starting from 1939 in the future?
You should have B-lined to La Spezia in previous EP. One destroyer (Zerstörer) sunk. Freighter damaged, but got away. No major upgrades available until August.
Too bad cripling a ship doesn't count toward your tally, even though it would still have been a partial success in real life. At least you destroyed the bigger threat in the area, and evaded the corvette's retaliation. I hope settling in La Spezia brings a change of pace and more frequent targets.
I love this guy's videos 😍 so factual and feels like youre playing when youre not and its helpful cause i suck compared to this guy always accurate i miss alot but getting better 😅
That ship that depth-charged you was the HMCS St. Boniface - Historically, she was laid down the same day that you escaped her attack and returned to port: May 21st, 1942 #SH3things 🙃
Ever thought of doing a campaign for SH5 with The Wolves of Steel modpack? I know the game is huge but you could just do it sporadically or just pick one.
@@Wolfpack345 I love SH5 in general, but if you do anything please do use the modpack it makes the game more fun and it is just better in general, would love to give a showcase if needed, or check taff in exile his channel
This episode was fantastic! I wonder why subs focus merchant ships instead of destroyers? Are they harder to hit? Wouldnt torpedoing the escort leave the convoy defenseless after so you could pummel it with flak?
Escorts indeed were harder to hit, and also weren’t worth very much for the war effort. You sank a destroyer? Great, the UK built sixteen of them while you did it. You sank a freighter carrying 30 tanks and a months worth of ammunition? Now thats more like it. While yes, if you successfully engaged an escort, you would get free reign on the merchants, they were eratic, fast, and just difficult to properly plot. Many successful engagements through both world wars but just overall a worse target for tonnage vs torpedo cost
Yes, but it would leave you with a couple less torpedoes than if you were to attack the merchants themselves. Basically, torpedoing a destroyer leaves you with less firepower to attack merchants, meaning you won't sink as many.
Times sure changed. An SSN that comes back with a 55% hull is gonna spend years at Electric Boat for patching it up, or more likely gets scrapped on sight.
Do you still need a million mods and a careful ballance between settings and the abilty to work a good cfg to even get a game anymore? And do you need to read a million manuals before leaving port these days?
He's using the OneAlex edition which is supermod version of the game. Basically incorporates most of the big mods and balances for realism in one package so that you don't have to. Still suggested to read through the manual that comes with the install though so you know what you're getting into.
Corvette is a much better gun platform with her main gun, 20 mils, 40mm, and small arms, and U-Boats can’t afford to take much punishment before they’re forced to stay on the surface, and in the Med, that is a death sentence. Game wise I don’t know. But also not a valuable target, not worth the ammo and effort for the potential loss
A damaged U-Boat with a 3 inch gun + 2 20mm AA guns, vs a (most likely) fresh and alert Corvette with a 4 inch gun and 8 20mm cannons, not exactly Ideal here. I mean, you can win, but I'd think you'd be too damaged to submerge at that point, which is a death sentence in the Med, with all the Aircraft out and about.
Such a shame we don't have any top tier technology simulation games..they keep spending all those resources on shitty arcade games when we could have pretty detailed and realistic simulators...

Thank you! :D Sorry for the slow uploads, been sick for nearly two weeks now. The worst!
@@Wolfpack345 Hope you are doing well now.
@@Wolfpack345you too huh?
My wife has bronchitis, my 16 month old son has flu.
Feel better soon man
I've started watching Wolfpack since the U-BOAT series, his effort to put live story behind gameplay never ceases to amaze! Keep up the good work!
same man, this man tries his hardest to give a story for a videogame that isnt really meant to have one.
I third this. The main reason I am watching these video is that Wolfpack really knows how to tell the story.

nah mate, still silent hunter 3 and IL-2 Sturmovik are goat. Love those storylines
@@lebigfudge Fans playing along writing the story, and Wolfpack (the Goat he is) including them in is so awesomesauce of him
We should all chip in and get Wolfpack a real u-boat
That would be dope
Well, if I hear that ships are mysteriously disappearing I will know that you guys did it.
There is a certain U-505 in seaworthy condition in Chicago........
There’s a replica Type VII made for a movie sitting in Spain
When we are being hunted by sonar buoy-dropping aircraft, ASW-helicopters and nuclear powered submarines, that's when we call it "hard" difficulty setting? :)
ALLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARM
Absolutely love the Das Boot voice lines lol
also fourth!
Thanks for watching!
@@Wolfpack345 thank YOU for the amazing content
This game is 19 years old but your videos and your storytelling are so vivid that it seems brand new.
19:39
Are they seriously dropping depth charges right next to survivors of the sunken British destroyer?! Are they crazy?!
Spirit of general Cornwallis (from the "pariot movie, not the real one) is strong with this british captain 😁
The AI does things like that all the time...
Actually it did happen.
Laconia Incident moment
They do that in the movie "The Cruel Sea" as well.
G64 (alternately F64) was the K Class destroyer HMS Kingston.In reality, she was destroyed in dry dock at Malta by the Luftwaffe whilst under repairs after a through and through hit by a 15" battleship shell from RM Littorio.

😊❤😊
Can't wait for U-75's next patrol!
Every day we get a new episode of Silent Hunter 3 is a good day.
The building of the music leading up to releasing the torpedo at the destroyer, just to have it silence as you fire was tremendous editing!
dude keep posting these. cinematography is phenomenal. keep up the good work king
Thank you!
I do a lot of painting or other monotonous jobs, and listening to these videos as I work is a highlight of my day. Thanks for posting this series!
I can never get enough of the sub sim games.
Thank you, Wolfpack, for the time and hard work you put in to bring us these videos
Look at La Spezia! It's lit up like a flipping Christmas tree! Where's the blackout? Don't they know there's a war on?
Thanks WP!
What a good end to a crazy patrol! 55% hull integrity! Those tommies almost got you. Almost!
Love this content! 🍻

STILL my favourite gaming experience, sitting for hours tracking convoys. Uboat is a worthy spiritual successor.
Those little corvettes, such as the venerable Flower class, were tenacious little fighters. I would have hated to be on one of those tiny things in a heavy sea.
I love the corvette depth charging right under the lifeboats.
I wish episodes of this series were posted more often 😂
The Med is interesting. When the idea for this series was introduced I thought it wouldn't be as good as the others, just because the Med has some very strong currents but the game doesn't really model that. I do love SH3 and your story telling.
Wolfpack was the perfect name. While i love all you contact with a cultish fervour your submarine content hits like nothing else
what a shot on the destroyer! I dont think I've seen a kill go down that fast
Love this series so far, nice work Wolfpack. Impressive shot on the destroyer.
Grab the popcorn and beverage.....IT"S TIME!
Stellar series!
Your forgot to set your pistols to impact when firing at the Merchant, lucky for you your magnetic warhead went off on the hull...got to double check everything, make it routine.
Well deserved R&R, Cpt Wolfpack and crew!!!

Another good episode. Been watching for a while

I would play this game, but it looks dauntingly difficult so I’ll leave the playing to you. Great work captain!
Ah, finally a new episode. Thank you, still great enjoyment to look this series!

Wolfpack345....I'm sure you have your hands full BUT....these vids are So Great, they have to be an HOUR....honestly
Shame about that merchant, that aft mounted funnel means it was almost certainly a tanker.
G64 HMS Kingston K class destroyer.
Another great video Wolfpack!
You should have B-lined to La Spezia in previous EP. One destroyer (Zerstörer) sunk. Freighter damaged, but got away. No major upgrades available until August.
Wow, new episode. Thank you.
I love your videos and especially your texts. Please make Uboat videos again.

I kind of expected old Wolfie to chase after that ship and try to sink it with his last torpedo.
@@timonsolus Especially having the comfort of knowing you aren't in any real danger from the corvette
Great video, thank you very much. 😊
get well soon, Kapitan
G64 HMS Kingston sunk 13:00
I love this guy's videos 😍 so factual and feels like youre playing when youre not and its helpful cause i suck compared to this guy always accurate i miss alot but getting better 😅
Welcome to Italy! Does the game showcase the Apuan Alps? They are SSE of La Spezia... Pity that merchant managed to sail away, it was a good attack.
Outstanding Herr kapitan 🤚🙋
It would be neat if you could show us your crew with medals and skills, and obviously yours too.
I wonder how many of the sailors that were in the water would have been killed by the shockwaves from those depth charges?
oh man, nice, used to play this a lot ! GG
LET ME WATCH THE FUNNY U-BOAT MAN WOOOOO

Hey guys, im trying to use the widescreen mod but i cant use any of the patches due to sh3.exe not existing, any ideas ?

Im curious. If you start sinking the warships as well would that start limiting how many are seen?
"Repair or Extraction needed?"
Times sure changed. An SSN that comes back with a 55% hull is gonna spend years at Electric Boat for patching it up, or more likely gets scrapped on sight.
Did WP get a new Mic? Sounds real nice whatever it is.
Why does the saturation keep changing in the video?
He increases the brightness during night action to compensate for youtube's compression and to make life a bit easier for those who watch on mobile.
that makes sense @@smoofbrain
@@smoofbrain I still often can't see the ships wolfpack says he can in the dark😂
EXCELLENT EXECUTION!
what other custom additions do you have installed for this?
Soooo this happened, put on the CC and watch what it says at 15mins 😂😂😂

Why don´t you try to sink the korvette with the deckgun. She´s just got one canon and you´re faster so it shouldn´t be that hard ?
