@@gremlin7599 ships and aircraft both have internationally agreed upon radio frequencies for emergencies. They also didnt really *need* to radio as there are other means of communicating at sea.
Fun Fact: In the Intro when you left the dock in U-4 , shortly before leaving the Bauhafen, when entering that narrower piece of port you sailed past my workplace. And a few dozen metres to the left of the dock the patrol started, Tirpitz is being built.
Remember the type II has no KDB Hydrophone, only the old lateral GHG. Because it doesn't rotate you have a deaf spot not just in the baffles but directly ahead as well. It's a good idea to do a zig zag during hydrophone checks to be sure you're not sailing right at something you can't hear.
The KDB was superior only in eliminating the small dead spot on the nose, but a) it was easily disabled by a single depth charge. The GHG was very, very resistant. Imagine being robbed of passive sonar when you need to know where the enemy is … b) you needed to dive several meters deeper than with the GHG to get out of the water surface interference zone - in fact it was well above the water when on the surface, whereas the GHG stayed in the water at all times. c) The GHG was “steered” using a stripline compensator, using electric signal delay lines. Using high pass filters, the GHG’s accuracy could be improved a lot (at a loss of sensitivity), from 8° w/o, using all frequencies up to 7kHz to 1° using only the range between 6-7kHz. The KDB needed to rotate mechanically, which meant a much larger hole in the hull than just some wires. Newer is not always better, the Balkongerät was “simply” an extended GHG with a new form of positioning the hydrophones, and minimal changes to the rest (the stripline compensator needs to have the take-offs in a scale pattern of the hydrophones).
@@advorak8529 Yeah it wasn't a bad system, The KDB suplimented the GHG rather than replacing it. I was just mentioning the lack of KDB on type IIs gives them a deaf spot that needs to be considered when performing hydrophone checks.
@@loginlover yeah almost every mission u have the same stuff , destroy this boat , hey a uboat has stop contacting us . In reality it would have been a destroyer not a uboat sent
@@Altair1243WAR well considering U-86 was commissioned in 1941 irl and this video is set in late 1939, probably a good idea to retrieve the boat and a destroyer can do that much faster
Kind of being nitpicky here, but the Type-IIA did not have a UZO - that's restricted to the IID and later - so what you're using on the conning tower is just good old Binos.
It is *way* too spacious. More than a real-life type VII. Cram 25 people inside a pressure hull 4m wide and under 30m long, chock full of torpedoes, diesel engines, electric engines, battery banks, batteries of high pressure air bottles, radio, GHG (all but the microphones happens inside the hull), TDC, fresh water, foodstuff, galley, head, chart table, cots, mess, dive plane control equipment and instruments, …
Just for the sake of a comment: you can assign an officer to the depth rudder when the periscope is washed over. This should help also to avoid unwanted breaching of the conning tower. Keep up the great work!
So i learned something today, The 20MM on the U-4 is not entirely useless early on. If you can get close with Armor Piercing Ammo and aim at the water line on the freighters and spray down their Propellers. you can get the ships to stop, and start to take on water and sink in the rear. Switch to High Explosive and pepper the deck and Bridge to set fires. Just sunk a 5800GRT Freighter off the coast of Bergen in December, 1939.
The Presidential Debate? Just a couple demented geezers lying through their teeth to get the chance to lead a whole country of people, most of whom they're totally unable to relate to because they're completely out of touch with reality. If they were ordinary people, neither of them would even be allowed to drive a car or lead a class of grade schoolers. 🤷🏼♂️ I guess the debate would be useful as comedic relief though... It's so bad you either laugh or cry.
The reason alarm has sounded when encountering the second uboat is because you clicked "Achtung" on the speed dial, it starts the alarm. You have to click it again to stop it.
The Type II is in the current public beta for the 1.0 U-Boat update, not a mod, lol Also Type IX and XXI are planned for post-release DLCs too, so that will be nice to see.
And had many bad torpedoes. Some were recovered and the Brits learned for the first time about the existence electric powered torpedo. They themselves had no bubble-free torpedo, and would not have a real use case until a lot later in the Meds.
Next time, remember, if you are shooting the torpedo to run at 90° to the target’s course, the distance does not matter, only the lead. This is pretty much invariant for angles around that area. So if another ship gets in the line of sight, it will likely catch the torpedo. That is what they meant when they said “overlapping targets” back then. Try to fire so that the time on target is as close as possible: shoot faster torpedoes to further away targets, shoot far targets before launching near targets. And at that weather you may have closed in surfaced or deck awash if you keep your nose towards the enemy. Find out how far away your sub is visible side-on and nose-on…
That boat is what i call a WWI adaptation. So primitive and simple... I hope your next command of a Typ VII will be in the game Wolfpack with a full crew and perspective changes. Would be the first on YT.
I’m also playing a U4 campaign but I think something broke between updates because the buy supplies screen is only showing like a single screen with no uboat storage or navigation bar
I cant refuel at all. In the Uboat Provisions screen where you get Fuel usually. all it says is "Torpedoes, Supplies, Food, Food, Foood, Food." NO Fuel option. playing on Unstable branch, No mods.
@@junkyarddog8277 Yes they fixed it some Previews ago, it only happens in Wilhelmshaven. Just leave the port briefly and come back, the bug will never occur again
I would love it if they added more map tools and some of the tools that are missing like the RAOFB and Attack Disc. Not having some of the more "advanced" map drawing tools makes really setting up without having the stupid hydrophone lines drawn a real pain in the ass.
Kindly consider this is a German sub and would have the German equivalent of stuff like “attack disk”, some of which will be better and some will be worse, mostly they will be different. Be glad you do not have to dead recon your boat’s position yourself And use trigonometry for setting up the intercept - not that difficult!
@@advorak8529 Actually I would love to dead reckon and use a sextant to navigate... SH5 wolves of steel mod had an option for that. What I'm asking for is actual placeable and rotatable compasses like SH3 and SH5 have. having actual bearing angles that one can draw more easily... to have most of the *actual* tools that a captain on a uboat would have. Tell me you've never played any of the Silent Hunter series, without telling me you've never played any of the Silent Hunter series. Its sad that 15+ year old subsims still have better features than any of the modern subsims of today. I don't think you understand... I play in "first person only" I'm willing to take this *much* further...
I don't quite understand the point of these missions. These small submarines were called coastal submarines in the navy and were used near the coast. Mine laying, port blockades and similar missions. Small, shallow draft, quiet and lightly armed. In the game, they are used in blue water missions like Type VII C and the following. I get seasick when I see this little thing bobbing around on the open sea at the beginning; in reality, that would have been hell for the crews. So far, so inaccurate.
I mean they stick around the channel and North Sea. But it also seems like the missions might not take your sub type into consideration when generating
Of course it doesn't... If it did do the, then there would be players getting 'upset' over it. In this case, if it's technically feasible by the game standards (meaning the sub has the capabilities to complete thr mission) then it's something you can do If you want that much accuracy, just limit your missions/engagements to what would realistically have been done IRL - It's a open-world simulator, the onus is on you to do that.
Another quality episode. Again, your narration really helps with the immersion in ALL your vids. Does the crew seem to move better through the submarine with the latest patches? At first glance it looks like it, but you’re playing so what are your observations?
Loaded all of the torpedoes. All five. This has been the biggest thing holding me back this campagin. I got perfectly on the side of a large convoy and got lucky with one torpedo per ship and still had so many ships left.
I enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing. In German, a "W" is pronounced as a "V", and a "V" is very soft, like a "F", so "Wilhelmshaven" is pronounced "Vill-helms-harfen" I believe. And yes, "Hartlepool" is pronounced "Hart-lee-pool". :)
29:00 Firing torps at 2.6km should be a near guaranteed miss. Historically U-boats fired mostly at 1km or less for reasons ... . 30:00 Staying at periscope depth while watching the first torp run until it hits should be A) near sucidial and B) make firing more torps nearly impossible, as the convoy should react to the first impact. Yes I know there where instance this early in the war where subs even reloaded torps in the middle of a convoy to be able to shoot more targets, but those where night surface attacks where the sub could maneuvre faster than the convoy ships and the escorts where looking for subs on the outside of the convoy. Wolf has either degenerated to a absolute noob here, or the game really really rewards this ***** arcady behaviour by presenting the player with a shooting gallery instead of a challenging target. Should I watch more or go, following my gag reflex?
It depends on your taste. If you're interested in the Battle of the Atlantic, SH3 is your game. If you wanna try your hand at American Fleet Submarines in the Pacific, go for SH4. Just make sure to get the U-Boat add-on for the latter, as it comes with the final patch for the main game. This patch, aside from making the game a bit less buggy, will be necessary for some mods if that's your thing.
@@TonyChristy-dy7qv Oh shit, yeah I forgot to mention SH5. Just forget that one even exists honestly. I think you can get it to work as long as you buy it and activate it through Ubisoft Connect (It needed you to register or log in to Uplay back when it came out and still requires it despite that service being dead and replaced) but if you buy and try to run it through Steam its basically fucked forever. Aside from that it really doesn't offer much over SH3 with a mega mod installed except for the graphics, but those really aren't worth the headache. Like I said, just forget SH5 even exists.
Is there any updates on when this version will get released and not just in beta or is it the standard Soon™? The game looks very much improved and I am looking forward to it. Great vid series Wolf
19:54 you do know if you did shoot the warship you'd have free control over all of the tankers and merchant ships and order them out of the ship / tell them to evacuate and then us the 20 mil to sink it
Do the developers not know why watertight doors are put on submarines? I know this is a small dugout but I sincerely doubt it didn't have any going between compartments. Maybe I am wrong.🤔😁
U boats spent daylight hours submerged around the coast of the uk during this period , my father was in the Royal Navy during this time. I cannot understand why air patrols don’t catch you , doesn’t seem very realistic swanning about near the UK coastline in daylight .
Back to work this morning but wish I could stay home and play uboat lol. I’ve been playing the type iib after I got the blueprints. Love how much more fuel range she has. Chased down and got ahead of a big convoy at flank speed that had a special target that was hauling a new radar prototype. Sank her and 2 other ships. Exceeded our 10000 tons! Then bottomed our boat in 100 plus meter depth until excorts and convoy cleared out. Got lucky didn’t get hit by any depth charges. Came back up and captured surviving officers from life boats. After seeing you shoot at the tanker I sure hope I come across a juicy tanker on my next patrol. Happy hunting!
Hello good people, Again, this was another outstanding video from Wolfpack!!!! Like I have said, Wolfpack’s video’s are like reading a story, but seeing it in a movie format!!! Very entertaining, Thanks again!!!!! Looking forward to the next one!!!!!
I'd love a game like U-Boat but with surface ships. Maybe you command the flagship with the detail you do in U-Boat and there are other AI ships with you. Maybe depending on the mission youre a lone fast cruiser, or a cruiser with a couple destroyers, or even a battleship with a whole fleet of 8 or 9 other ships
I'd love all sorts of games like this. I'd be totally happy with the Uboat model being used to make a dozen different simulator games. Playing as different types of ships patrolling the seas or taking part in missions, modern and historical. There is another game by the same developers that's very similar called Aircraft Carrier Survival. I haven't played it, and the reviews aren't as good, but hopefully they'll make more. There actually already is a game just like this, but it's more retro, smaller scale and blocky. It's effectively literally just Uboat but an RAF bomber crew instead, but I'd love to play that with Uboat style.
Your boat has the coat of arms of my home town the city of bremen on the conning tower (21:14). That key is an very old symbol. Bremen is in the northwest of germany, 50 k from the north sea. And a lot of Type VIIC where build at the "AG Weser" shipyard, 2 km from where I live. And a lot of Type XXI ones too.
Cause we got a little 'ole convoy Sailin' through the night. Yeah, we got a little 'ole convoy Ain't she a beautiful sight? C'mon and join our Convoy Ain't nothin' gonna get in our wa... BOOM!
I haven't watched these videos in full. Is there a possibility of an air attack? That should be a real threat for these subs running on the surface during the daytime.
At the tactical side of the thing you're fart better than i ever would be in managing the sub... you plan the attacks better than me, you manage the execution of the atacks far better etc.... But at the operational side of the things you have A LOT of things to improve. A few examples... on the last episode you stocked your boat with wathever torp was available and then you give your crew a leave permit... The "right" thing to do it's to pick the best torps, then send the people on permit, and when they come back check again if the port has been restocked again with modern torps... if they get them, you pick them, if not you just pick the other... you don't loose nothing for wait. Moore examples... don't wait to start the patrol to moove the food to the galley, fill the boat with food, then moove the food to the galley so you can fill your general storage with moroe food. Another one, don't moove all the time on surface with the diesel engine... what I do it's siwtch to electric inmediatly after leaving the port, so i don't waste fuel, when the batteries are at 5-10% change to diesel at moderate speed and let them charge again, and repeat when are charged... you can't believe how far you can reach this way (and that's another reason for stock as many food as you can). Another one, don't abuse your officers... you did the whole aproach to the attack with an exhausted officer managing the engines. This dude should be put to rest bedore you had visual contact with the convoy, and the other engineer had to take his place in the engines; If you have 2 engineers keep them rotating at the engine to save fuel and switch them when they get 50% energy. this way you gonna have them both fresh and save fuel... you don't need to do maintenance at the torps all the time, you just need to have them "warm" when you launch them... then time when you needed to do it was when you made the course correction at 21:51... untill this time you simply can give rest to one engineer ( i can't tell you how many times i've started an attack with the torps warm, just to find that they need maintenance when i have to launch them just because the previous maintenance was do it too soon) Same with the sonar... you had the officer managing the radio all the time until you dived for the attack and sitched to the sonar.... just let them rest you don't knows how long you're gonna need him at the sonar during the attack, so have them fresh. Honestly i tink that if you where the captain managing the attacks, and I'll be the 1st officer managing the boat together we will be a nightmare for the Royal Navy LOL
In reality, ATOs are fine with very little maintenance - you can carry them in outboard containers (VII for example) for weeks and weeks. ETOs need battery topping up every 3 days (TIII, TIIs may be worse) and need to be preheated for full performance. Which may take 24 hours (but can be done outside the tube).

Remember the type II has no KDB Hydrophone, only the old lateral GHG. Because it doesn't rotate you have a deaf spot not just in the baffles but directly ahead as well. It's a good idea to do a zig zag during hydrophone checks to be sure you're not sailing right at something you can't hear.
The KDB was superior only in eliminating the small dead spot on the nose, but
a) it was easily disabled by a single depth charge. The GHG was very, very resistant. Imagine being robbed of passive sonar when you need to know where the enemy is …
b) you needed to dive several meters deeper than with the GHG to get out of the water surface interference zone - in fact it was well above the water when on the surface, whereas the GHG stayed in the water at all times.
c) The GHG was “steered” using a stripline compensator, using electric signal delay lines. Using high pass filters, the GHG’s accuracy could be improved a lot (at a loss of sensitivity), from 8° w/o, using all frequencies up to 7kHz to 1° using only the range between 6-7kHz.
The KDB needed to rotate mechanically, which meant a much larger hole in the hull than just some wires.
Newer is not always better, the Balkongerät was “simply” an extended GHG with a new form of positioning the hydrophones, and minimal changes to the rest (the stripline compensator needs to have the take-offs in a scale pattern of the hydrophones).
@@advorak8529 Yeah it wasn't a bad system, The KDB suplimented the GHG rather than replacing it. I was just mentioning the lack of KDB on type IIs gives them a deaf spot that needs to be considered when performing hydrophone checks.

I have been enjoying the beta though, they’ve been pretty good with squishing bugs
The one thing I’m not seeing in the crew do is smoking. Funny how that seems to have been removed? Or maybe Germans didn’t smoke in ww2?
YT recommended this, I know nothing about subs. Why changing the color of the lights?
After almost a week I was getting worried about ya! Bought this damn game myself to keep my itch satisfied 😂
I'm a lil sad with how unsatisfying the sinking ships are.
Like you sink them and they go down in 0.01 seconds
And you would expect for a sub to take a little more than 1 mag of 20mm AA to sink... :D
19:54 you do know if you did shoot the warship you'd have free control over all of the tankers and merchant ships and order them out of the ship / tell them to evacuate and then us the 20 mil to sink it
They struck a mine and were uncrewed for days and didn't sink? That boat won the pressure hull lottery too bad it didnt matter.
cold waters 1968 guppy campaign when?
Do the developers not know why watertight doors are put on submarines? I know this is a small dugout but I sincerely doubt it didn't have any going between compartments. Maybe I am wrong.🤔😁
Is this the main version of the game? When I played it I didn't see u-4 or a lot of the features he has. If not how do I get access to it all?
U boats spent daylight hours submerged around the coast of the uk during this period , my father was in the Royal Navy during this time.
I cannot understand why air patrols don’t catch you , doesn’t seem very realistic swanning about near the UK coastline in daylight .
Back to work this morning but wish I could stay home and play uboat lol. I’ve been playing the type iib after I got the blueprints. Love how much more fuel range she has. Chased down and got ahead of a big convoy at flank speed that had a special target that was hauling a new radar prototype. Sank her and 2 other ships. Exceeded our 10000 tons! Then bottomed our boat in 100 plus meter depth until excorts and convoy cleared out. Got lucky didn’t get hit by any depth charges. Came back up and captured surviving officers from life boats. After seeing you shoot at the tanker I sure hope I come across a juicy tanker on my next patrol. Happy hunting!
Hello good people,
Again, this was another outstanding video from Wolfpack!!!!
Like I have said, Wolfpack’s video’s are like reading a story, but seeing it in a movie format!!!
Very entertaining, Thanks again!!!!!
Looking forward to the next one!!!!!
I'd love a game like U-Boat but with surface ships. Maybe you command the flagship with the detail you do in U-Boat and there are other AI ships with you. Maybe depending on the mission youre a lone fast cruiser, or a cruiser with a couple destroyers, or even a battleship with a whole fleet of 8 or 9 other ships
I'd love all sorts of games like this. I'd be totally happy with the Uboat model being used to make a dozen different simulator games. Playing as different types of ships patrolling the seas or taking part in missions, modern and historical.
There is another game by the same developers that's very similar called Aircraft Carrier Survival. I haven't played it, and the reviews aren't as good, but hopefully they'll make more.
There actually already is a game just like this, but it's more retro, smaller scale and blocky. It's effectively literally just Uboat but an RAF bomber crew instead, but I'd love to play that with Uboat style.
Can you give us the mod you have installed to play, or wich mod are best to enhanced uboot ? Thanks
Your boat has the coat of arms of my home town the city of bremen on the conning tower (21:14). That key is an very old symbol. Bremen is in the northwest of germany, 50 k from the north sea. And a lot of Type VIIC where build at the "AG Weser" shipyard, 2 km from where I live. And a lot of Type XXI ones too.
Cause we got a little 'ole convoy
Sailin' through the night.
Yeah, we got a little 'ole convoy
Ain't she a beautiful sight?
C'mon and join our Convoy
Ain't nothin' gonna get in our wa... BOOM!
How do u paint the u boat skin. I have changed my emblem but don't see option for boat paint.
You manually activated the alarm by mistake. There is a new setting on the telegraph to manually activate the alarm.
This embarrassing but I don't care, how do you move the watch on screen to the corner like you have it by the
Good video as always and keep up the good work ❤
Alarm sounded because you clicked on Achtung on the telegram right next to stop
Anyone know if they fixed the issue with the ports not having food supplies?
I love the gameplay and immersion with background story. Is this still Beta version of UBOAT?
Ohhhh god i love the video but it angers be so much that he didn’t look for empire blessingggg
Man I really wish they would rework the sound on that AA gun, haha. Sounds more like someone typing on an old typewriter than a 20mm.
more uboat videos please. ive been playing again because the new update is awesome.
would you say that SH3 is still the King or is this one now better? love the videos
Man that's a small sub.... One dude farts, everyone smells it...
Lmao someone said turn on the debate but fuck that we got a wolfpack u boat video.
Really good game Wolf. Good graphics, gameplay, and of course narrative. Thanks bud!!!
Looking forward for when you get better subs and/or torps XD

I just finished building my pc to play this game. Thanks for the great gameplay, you make it look easy
Such a cool game, love seeing the cutout so you can see what your crew is doing
Love this content WP,
Good shooting with 2 eels so far from your little boat! Very effective🍻
I haven't watched these videos in full. Is there a possibility of an air attack? That should be a real threat for these subs running on the surface during the daytime.
Yes.
I liked what i saw and wrote this for algorithm to keep this in top searches.
Such a pitty they broke the game for linux :_(
Nice attack! The one advantage the type 2 has - it's small size making it possible to get closer before diving.
Great video as always man, but make more war on the sea please 🥹👉👈
To answer the question from the first video, I would love a good guide on proper use of the attack computer.
Could you tell me please the version of the game you are running?
Always a good day when Wolfpack345 puts out another sub video!
Risk the boat for see the impact? I will tell it to BdU.
At the tactical side of the thing you're fart better than i ever would be in managing the sub... you plan the attacks better than me, you manage the execution of the atacks far better etc.... But at the operational side of the things you have A LOT of things to improve. A few examples... on the last episode you stocked your boat with wathever torp was available and then you give your crew a leave permit... The "right" thing to do it's to pick the best torps, then send the people on permit, and when they come back check again if the port has been restocked again with modern torps... if they get them, you pick them, if not you just pick the other... you don't loose nothing for wait. Moore examples... don't wait to start the patrol to moove the food to the galley, fill the boat with food, then moove the food to the galley so you can fill your general storage with moroe food. Another one, don't moove all the time on surface with the diesel engine... what I do it's siwtch to electric inmediatly after leaving the port, so i don't waste fuel, when the batteries are at 5-10% change to diesel at moderate speed and let them charge again, and repeat when are charged... you can't believe how far you can reach this way (and that's another reason for stock as many food as you can). Another one, don't abuse your officers... you did the whole aproach to the attack with an exhausted officer managing the engines. This dude should be put to rest bedore you had visual contact with the convoy, and the other engineer had to take his place in the engines; If you have 2 engineers keep them rotating at the engine to save fuel and switch them when they get 50% energy. this way you gonna have them both fresh and save fuel... you don't need to do maintenance at the torps all the time, you just need to have them "warm" when you launch them... then time when you needed to do it was when you made the course correction at 21:51... untill this time you simply can give rest to one engineer ( i can't tell you how many times i've started an attack with the torps warm, just to find that they need maintenance when i have to launch them just because the previous maintenance was do it too soon) Same with the sonar... you had the officer managing the radio all the time until you dived for the attack and sitched to the sonar.... just let them rest you don't knows how long you're gonna need him at the sonar during the attack, so have them fresh.
Honestly i tink that if you where the captain managing the attacks, and I'll be the 1st officer managing the boat together we will be a nightmare for the Royal Navy LOL
In reality, ATOs are fine with very little maintenance - you can carry them in outboard containers (VII for example) for weeks and weeks.
ETOs need battery topping up every 3 days (TIII, TIIs may be worse) and need to be preheated for full performance. Which may take 24 hours (but can be done outside the tube).
Oh thank heavens, a new Wolfpack video! And Uboat at that!! Today is a good day.
Do the boats still surface slightly aft first? That always drove me nuts. Lol
Loving every second of youe uboat videos. Keep up the amazing job!
I would have thought you would set all settings to realism
Torpedo maintenance just before firing seems so strange
The feeling of wiping out two vital assets to a convoy and getting away undetected is something I love doing in this game
Always excited for a new Wolfpack video! Love the Uboat series!
This looks like the most complicated game ive ever seen lol
a 13000 tons tanker is every submariners wet dream
there is hoping you can send those eles to sink more shipping and return to base victorious
Is it possible to get our hands on the Beta with a code?
Beautiful Unterseeboot
That buzzer reminds me of that scene with Jonah from Spiderman 3
