24:40 Not a bug with the mod. Even the Germans had issues with their Magnetic exploders. Especially up North. They would quite often prematurely detonate.
@@Cg23sailor Yeah, I meant that, I blame fat fingers, old brain and YT auto spell checker. I would have thought, if you engage impact triggers then magnetic triggers would be turned off ?
If you use your reputation points to increase your available missions from 3 to 5 you will get those missions. Its always one of the first things I spend them on in a playthrough
9:58 I can imagine that radio operator climbing up to man the AA after listening to some Big band jazz on the radio letting off one burst taking that plane down then saying "is there anything else captain?" then causally going back to his radio 😂😂
24:22 No, that was not an impact on the target but a premature explosion due to the magnetic fuse. They were not really tested in all the magnetic environments on Earth, and worse, early WWII was an intense sunspot time, with a lot of fun regarding magnetics … The first U-Boat sunk in the war was sunk due to premature torpedo explosions that were shot at an aircraft carrier.
"The first U-Boat sunk in the war was sunk due to premature torpedo explosions" The first U-boat sunk in the war was detected due to premature torpedo explosions, it wasn't sunk because of them. It was Damaged with depth charges, and then the crew captured as it surfaced while taking on water.
the crew survived though, imagine going out on your first patrol, lasting two weeks, getting no kills, then disabled & captured.. then spending 6 years in a POW camp.
@@alfascav1754 Detected, depth charged over and over, accumulating enough damage to have to surface … and without even bagging an aircraft carrier. I think you will find that staying not detected is the whole stick of a submarine - they could do away with all these batteries and electric engines and stuff, just cram in more fuel and stronger engines, and you have an upsized E-Boat that can cross the Atlantic and has a lot more torpedoes. And a top speed of 35-40 knots … But they would give up stealth. And die like flies.
2 "duds" towards a carrier would have certainly impacted morale. It's not every day a sub gets that opportunity. I was worried you were going to have used the last 2 before seeing the carrier, but what actually happened was even worse ;). You really need the bigger sub.
Just wanted to say that the reason you arent getting the Atlantic theater operation is because you are in la rochele, need to be in mainland germany I think and you'll get them, reason being the next two missions are in the arctic/way up north.
No coffee in the sea = MUTINY! Replace that Cap'n and feed em to the sharks! 🤣 I'm liking the sims aspect of this. No coffee = Tired engineers. Absence of coffeee depresses the office. That's a fact. Thinking about it, if you're underwater most of the time and you run out of caffeine, that'll be HELL for sure.
*shell casings 20mm HE shells bouncing on deck is not as fun .... Although, we had a stuck shell 20 mm HEI in our Oerlikon. We stowed the barrel with the shell in it on deck so that EOD could dispose of it in port. While talking to the EOD tech, how to get the shell out and contemplating having to say goodbye to the barrel as well, I lifted up the barrel and the shell fell out onto the deck. The [British] EOD tech said "Job well done", took the small shell and was off.... Chuckles all around.
Tip to sinking ships more efficiently with deck armament: When you try to sink a freighter by a deck or anti-aircraft gun, target the stern toward the propeller, under the waterline as it is exposed by the waves. It will sink faster with less loss of munitions.
U-Boat uses a HP system for enemy vessels, I believe. Fairly unrealistic in that respect. You're likely thinking of Silent Hunter, where much more is simulated.
@@sharkman2857 hitting a ship in more then one location sinks it faster, hitting 2 eels in one place does not increase damage, so while there doesnt seem to be "systems damage", there atleast are sections
Spit curses and drink coffee, those two magnetic misfires are crushing. How's your homebase research coming along, any chance to get more reliable munitions? Ooo, precious metals. Have you tried taking a divesuit to a wreck like that and getting rich?
perfect timing....stopped doing homework to eat a late lunch...and wow...one of my favorite channels to follow has a new video out...and i am so lucky...its one game I am extremely interested in it...thanks wolfpack345.
Too bad about the early detnations. I really like this series, going back to base every other episode is so different from your usual series. Keep it going of you can.
I think the officers not providing an echosounder reading is a bug. The workaround that's worked for me is to click in the empty space somewhere to deselect any officer, then click the sidebar commands option for an echosounder reading. One of your noncom sailors will then perform the reading and call it out. My skipper has NEVER called out the reading, nor any officer currently working the hydrophones; it's only ever called out by the non-commissioned sailors in my games.
That unusual little Type II sub was more entertaining than it seemed at first glance, and quite a breath of fresh air Hoping the next series will be with another seldom-featured sub!
play with periscope sway turned on. its a lot more immersive. but youll have to start a new save unless they changed it, a dev told me they would try to make it save game compatible
9:28 That's Bristol Beaufort - torpedo bomber and the precedessor of Bristol Beaufighter. It was used by Royal Air Force to conduct bomb and torpedo attacks against German merchant and warships and to lay mines.
The reason I think those torps fired prematurely is because the earth’s magnetic field is different in different places, and since torps were usually tested with live ammunition in one place (American Marc 14 in zero places), they didn’t really catch that. There is a story from both the second and third battle of Trondheim, where German torps exploded prematurely. In the third battle, if the torps had detonated where they were expected to, HMS Warspite would likely have been sunk.
In situations like with the carrier i tend to go at least 1 impact pistol with every magnetic pistol strike. So for 2 torpedos it will be 1 impact, 1 magnetic. Its just my way of somehow balancing the risk magnetic pistols bring, especially in northern waters.
Did my 1st patrol today sunk a destroyer and dived. When I wasn't paying attention trying to dodge depth charges I hit the destroyer on The sea floor absolutely murdered half my crew and just died from laughter 10/10 game
Cant wait to see a new Uboat! Maybe mention to the devs how grindy it is to acquire one? Im honestly surprised you never obtained one with all your hr's sunk in (pun intended) sad your unable to sink the carrier, definitely would been the cherry on top to end the series.
When type IXb uboats came into service, they wouldn't dive even for heavy bombers, preferring to use their heavy firepower to fight it out on the surface.
"Let's roleplay and say they were faulty eels." My thoughts exactly. Still a fresh game (as a full release). The game itself and the mods need some ironing out. That ship at the beginning looked very run down. Almost like a corpse.
I was going to say it was disappointing, but the KM was still experiencing some issues with magnetic pistols even in 1941-1942. Hopefully (assuming it was actually a defect and not simply a statistical result), it gets fixed soon enough.
Out of all the other Channels I enjoy your videos the best but I encourage you to do a complete game set up with the current version of the game and list all the Mods your using.....info like game Preferences including easy, intermediate, hard and novance, balanced, and Expert. Also cover you crew schedules, squads, and diving schedule. Seems like your using your TDC more so a brand new start to finish would be good with the most current settings.....thanks
Crazy that this game lets you get within visual range without your diesels being heard by the escorts. I usually switch to electric once a warship comes within 10-20 km, lol.
I havent even tried this game yet but if it is similar than Silent Hunter 3, my recommendation for a torpedo attack during rough seas and/or fierce storm is to set torpedoes to run shallow and detonate on impact.
Awfully rough seas to put a man on deck. He was actually dead when that first wave hit him. Plane actually crashed cause the pilot was laughing so hard when the boat started throwing men in the ocean. 😅
Ouch man... magnetic fuse? Only at a flat angle of impact. You were square to the ship. The other one is the LUT or FAT program in which I've had the torpedo get right next to the ship and TURN AROUND. So add 200-300 meters to the distance on any of those.
The benifit of a magnetic is that it explodes under the keel of the ship and causes more damage. Being at a good angle is ideal for magnetic and non magnetic pistols.
Three stacks are worth 300K I believe. But this game gives plenty of opportunities to become a millionnaire anyway. Money is not an issue in this game.
No coffee on board!!! Schedule a court martial immediately!
In the movie Airplane!, no one onboard panics as it is explained how much danger they’re in until they announce they’re out of coffee.

I'd enjoy seeing some mods with new Uboats and other ships
What a shame with the last torpedoes. Really wanted to see a flattop go down... Maybe next time. It was great episode as always
Wolfpack, your videos are always pure excellence. Thanks bro!
I was so crest-fallen when the torps failed! I was looking forward to seeing that carrier go down like a stone!
I recall once in a game of Uboat a couple years ago, I sank like 3 of the 4 of those carriers the UK built in two patrols.
Could you please post the realism settings ingame you use. thanks
9:28 That's Bristol Beaufort - torpedo bomber and the precedessor of Bristol Beaufighter. It was used by Royal Air Force to conduct bomb and torpedo attacks against German merchant and warships and to lay mines.
Im not shocked about the torpedos. Even with being warmed up, the P1s are susceptible to premature detonation.
You should've got closer! Thanks for posting this! Please do an hour gameplay each time!

Best part of the week. Wolfpack video and uboat at that.....greatful for small mercies
Another good show ! Thanks Wolf !
There's a reason they never used magnetic triggers during WWII : because they were incredibly unreliable.

More more more - love this series !
What he's tired haha that's crazy but also very realistic.
This is the first video I have seen from Wolf where he did not sink his target
do u use tasks ... there is a maint for torps for officers
If you want some good targets, stay around Plymouth and st. Evans airbase.
I think sinking a perfectly good U-boat is absolutely stupid….put a line on her and tow her back to port so that she can be used again !!!!
For Real!!
@Wolfpack345 which is better UBoat or SH 3? I see you play both! Also sinking a ship with AA gun, is that even possible irl?
Hans over there on the 20mm flak like that one meme of Bugs Bunny
Hey wolfpack can you please post your realism and game settings?

i love listening to squidward playing uboat..
Good luck comrade!
How do i download this?
and yes early mag torps where never good so yeah having the detonation premucure like that is very common until you upgrade them
i recommend Sinking Physics Overhaul 2
I havent even tried this game yet but if it is similar than Silent Hunter 3, my recommendation for a torpedo attack during rough seas and/or fierce storm is to set torpedoes to run shallow and detonate on impact.
If you use the H.sie fixes in Sh3, you don't want to set torpedoes at shallow depths in rough seas.
@@Wolfpack345 Ok. Then this game is a bit different than SH3. Not even sure what is H.sie
Hey Wolf, which graphic settings are you using? Your water and your game in general looks better than mine, even though I am playing in ultra settings
We need more uboat!
What no kaffee! Sacrilegious skipper! Any way nice series.
Got my second blue print mission in the Mediterranean.
Shame you didn't have enough torps. Great action.
Notice to junior skippers; that freighter 00's guns do work. Approach hostile ones with caution.
10:36 A lot less scary... than a game of Candy Crush
You are using the Sounds Of War sound mod, not the HWA 👍 Love the content ❤
Well, that was bad luck. Hope, that wasn´t the only carrier in this game.
Wolfpack! Please can you do at least one video on the Guppy 2 in Cold Waters with Dotmod?
It might not be a bug, early magnetic pistols could explode before hitting the target, the game tells you as much on the torpedo description
It's a bug with the mod, happens with quite a few ships and is known.
Shades of the Mark 14
"Schhhhheisss Aale!" - Thomsen
I love your videos
Awfully rough seas to put a man on deck. He was actually dead when that first wave hit him.
Plane actually crashed cause the pilot was laughing so hard when the boat started throwing men in the ocean. 😅
Short controlled bursts.
This is what happens when you use POW's to build your torpedo's, they are sabotaged & go bang prematurely 💥!!!
Oh man, I'm super early. Love your videos bro I've been watching for years :)
I'm here for the bugs. :)
You need to be using the coffee items my man
An AA gun sunk a freighter and a sub? Interesting. 😂
well that was anticlimactic :O
Do realistic night on the next playthrough -- it is more fun when the ships aren't so easy to see.
You like looking at a black screen on TH-cam?
Definitely should have kept the impact pistol
Lol shooting down an aircraft with that boat gun should be damn near impossible. Certainly the best course of action would be to immediately dive.
It had torpedo nets maybe? Great vid as per usual wolfpack 👍👍
Forgot to stow them when they left port?
Ironic that U-201 3:10 is the one I'm currently playing as in my own campaign...
What mod changes the tracer effects??? I have all the same mods but I don't get those tracers ?
If im not mistaken those arent tracers but the explosions on impact of the HE rounds.
Ouch man... magnetic fuse? Only at a flat angle of impact. You were square to the ship. The other one is the LUT or FAT program in which I've had the torpedo get right next to the ship and TURN AROUND. So add 200-300 meters to the distance on any of those.
The benifit of a magnetic is that it explodes under the keel of the ship and causes more damage. Being at a good angle is ideal for magnetic and non magnetic pistols.
Could it be that the game is throwing a few Type VIIs at you so that you can commandeer it?
Sadly you can't steal the boat, repair it and make it your own.
is this modded with workshop? dont recall a ark royal in my base game xd
Where these u boat vids I love naval power, but something about uboat
If you had a diver, you could have salvaged some gold. Worth a pretty Reichmark at the port shop.
