![[DRIP] ‘CLIK CLAK’ PREVIEW](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/bcxkcOSbpac/mqdefault.jpg)
Flag is Lithuania, port is Memel (now named Klaipeda). It was ceded to Nazi Germany in March 1939 as demanded of the Lithuanian government by Hitler.
thankyou
I've seen other LPers do the talk with the crew, but I've never seen anyone else read out the biographies of them, which I quite like. Kudos!
You are welcome, its my first time playing it so I'm trying to learn as much about the game as possible
You would not get bored playing this game.
An oldie, but goldie! Rewatching the whole series for fun, mate. MAN THE DECK GUN!
Looks pretty nice I wish they had used these graphics and remade SH3
I used to watch you all the time in 2016, on a different TH-cam account. I am currently looking back at the old videos because it's so nostalgic. You also were one of the main reasons I chose to buy this game at all. Thank you, Taff. For making such beatiful memories.
Personally i love cowering inside the sub whilst you cross everything hoping that next depth charge misses, lot of tense hours in spent in silent hunter that way. But the externals are a must for scene transitions and ships exploding as part of a video, that was a very unusual start to a patrol, was a very rare sighting never mind sinking one!
I believe you just sunk one of the (only) three serving U-classes: HMS Ursula, Unity or Undine, assuming the game is totally historic, but i dont think any of them would of been there, its an extremely unlikely sighing, due to the size and the fact there were only three of them in the world in service in '39
+RedKite yeah i doubt its 100% accurate, I know the Polish did have U class subs later in the war so I'm guessing its one of those. Yes Ive never seen a sub before and I wasnt sure if they could be sunk...bizarre start to the war :-)
+Taff in Exile Well, that's not actually true.
In '39 we had 5 subs operetional in Danzig Bay.
From 31.08.1939 they have different fortunes.
F.e. ORP 'Eagle' was tasked with patroling bay and minelaying,
after whole pomerania lost, tasked to evacuate to Tallin,
where she was deceitfuly took detainee by estonians.
After reckless escape at night in costal gun fire, without map, codes and comms, thay navigate throught Sund and serve in Royal Navy.
Lost in may'40 in very mysterious circumstances.
Without confirmed sunk or any wrackage found after war.
Another sub, ORP 'Wolf' in night 14/15 sep'39 broke through Sund
passing by with ~60 m german destroyer „Richard Beitzen”
and torpedo boat T 107. Later in '41 was heard of
ramming and sinking U-22 U-boat.
I swear, those crews have to had hell'uva adventures.
Even crazier that in "Das Boot" film.
From Nov'39-'41 most of polish fleet took part in battle of north sea.
2 dutch-built - ORP Orzeł (Eagle) and ORP Sęp (Vulture)
were most modern subs at the time, heavy, flexible in tasks.
With 7k Nm range, 12 tube lounchers, 70 crew.
They were crowdfounded by polish common people and soldiers.
Built in De Schelde and Rotterdamse Shipyards, of custom class, later named as "O 19-class" subs. Made of top quality and very expensive.
Being a Jew of German ancestry I also find the Swastika, apart of history and not only from NASI germany but many cultures. But I believe the Swastika isn't placed in many video games is because some countries have outlawed the reproduction of the emblem. That in of itself is a sad statement of our world.
100% agree, people should be educated in what happened now shy away from ugly truths
"Those Who Forget History Are Doomed to Repeat It"
@h1mb They did say "Being a Jew of German ancestry" so i would say they're "a Jew of German ancestry"
@h1mb How? His religion is Jewis. His ethnic ancestry is German.
blackfalcon1324 Hard to believe there needs to be a debate about that flag, eh? No racists here.
7:15 won me over. I look forward to watching this play through. Good on you for standing up for historical accuracy
'Keep an eye out for him'. Well, Erich certainly can't, he's already had one out.
lol
bismark will sink
Don’t you mean “he has no choice since he only has one” XD
I have totally loved this play through series. I really enjoyed all the cinematic scenes that you used. Thank you for your content.
The calmness before war in the start of the video def brought back memories to my mind of wars when it loomed on the horizon on us. The calm before madness
I need to play this game more. I loved Silent Hunter 4, picked this one up on sale a while back and played it once!
Yeah get stuck in, all Ill say is have a good read at www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=cat&id=80 to get your mods to patch the game
Love these submarine sims. Something about submarines has always been deeply fascinating.
Hey Taff I don't know if you realize this, but you don't need to use the periscope for a surface torpedo attack. The fixed "binocular" on the conning tower, called "UZO" was used for such attacks, it works in exactly the same way as the attack periscope.
Edit: Derp, nevermind... I just noticed that this is an old video. @_@
No worries, thx
Your epic commentary and game play convinced me to also buy silent hunter 5, been loving your content.
Thankyou
I could never get the PC "Silent Hunter" games to install properly so its great to watch this video. The last Sub sim I played was "Silent Service" on a commodore 64! Things have really moved on.
thankyou, if you want to try to get the SH games working the guys at Subsim are the best - www.subsim.com/radioroom/index.php
I wish there was a mod that utilised your torpedo room to store torps. The fixings on the walls are all there, but the torpedoes just appear out of thin air when they are about to be reloaded, and have the crew then winch them onto the cranes and push them into the tubes... Picky and all, but would still be pretty cool :P
That would be great to watch!
On a semi related note - I've done a bit more research since making this post. The 'fixings' on the sides are actually bed bunks for more crew, and the torpedoes were stored under the deck in that compartment. Though it would still have been cool to see them bring them up and load them.
I've played this game ever since it came out and I loved it! Very cool sim. Another good sub sim was Silent Service. Played that a lot as well.
Yeah silent service was amazing and I played that before silent hunter
Just discovered this series, loving it, sir you have earned yourself a new subscriber
Thankyou and welcome aboard
+Taff in Exile :)
Came here from the history nerd, been binge watching your b17 series and this one, keep up the good work!
Same
agreed, carry on Kaptain zur See. Good luck and good hunting.
Thankyou, welcome aboard :-)
Hello & Welcome :-)
:-)
18:00 Assert your dominance with a T-pose.
Great intro plus crew intro/development. I was quietly judging the Officers characters and motivations from the comfort of my L shaped bourgeois sofa.
In Laboe, near Kiel there's a Naval Memorial site including a preserved Type VII submarine. Back when I was a child I loved to visit it over and over again which gave me a glimpse about life on an U-Boat pretty early.
nice I'd love to see a VII boat, I might have to make my way to visit one
Here's the English Wikipedia page for it. It's a little short but still contains decent information
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laboe_Naval_Memorial
On clear days you have a glorious view over the Kiel Bay including the city from the Observation deck btw.
Wernher von Kerman if your intrested in the other side check out the HMS Alliance museum, she was built in 1945 for service in the Pacific but the war ended before she was ready. Currently she sits on a keyside in Portsmouth, her periscope is at full extention so you get a fantastic view of Portsmouth historic dockyard and Portsmouth naval base, her interior is set up to give a 'lived in' appearance so lots of period correct items throughout.
Thanks for the heads up on the type VII museum ill give it a look up :)
@@themadhammer3305 Thanks for the Info on Portsmouth. May be visiting it when heading over to the UK the next time. There's also a Type XXI in Wilhelmshaven.
Wernher von Kerman its my pleasure buddy, if you go I hope you find it as interesting as I did. Thanks for the heads up on the type xxi im always excited to learn of museum ships I didn't know about before
flag is Lithuania
City is Klaipéda
djbadlt Well, it was known as Memel back then 😊
Israel Pedroso dos Santos Filho City is Memel!
djbadlt yes because Germany claimed Memel from Lithuania just before the war
@@CaptainWoogie06 Yeah, but Memel was German/Prussian for almost 5 centuries before WW1.
Just watched das boot and instantly started this game up. For a while I patrolled around and came across a large unprotected convoy just gonna say the commander in chief of submarines and later the kriegsmarines name was doenitz not donits. Subscribed :-)
hmmm Donuts! haha yeah best not to worry about my pronunciations. they are all over the place! Welcome aboard!
a protractor only goes 180 degrees so that is why you couldnt get 190
cant belive its been a whole year since this series began. good job taff!
Oh wow thats gone quick....well I did take 2 years to get around to it!
Taff in Exile and you had a break when your pc died
A year? Mate I found this gold 7 years later)
yeah. hitting a submerged enemy sub with the deck gun. Classic submarine warfare
Haha yeah! we do what we can
This guy has connections. We need to keep an eye out for him. Too soon my man. Too soon🤣🤣🤣
Binge watching the series now, loving it so far after just one episode. I do wish the crews would speak in German rather than accented English. But this is 4 years ago, no changing it now haha
Probably way too late now but I still play SH5 whilst still awaiting a decent replacement submarine simulator. I replaced the English voices folder with the German one... WAY better! The folder was either already in SH5 or I used the SH3 one... can't remember now. Even the initial intro sequence is far better in German. Must have been a German-speaking option, surely? I have the text still come on the screen but I know a fair amount of German so it's just so much better and more authentic in German.
Never too late... I'm STILL playing SH5! Great video, great series I'm sure but your knowledge of the German language and its pronunciation seriously could do with improving! 🤣
Its Klaipėda, Lithuania. Back in a day, germans called it Memel. There was a U-boat base from September 1941-October 1944. And in fact, in 2013 there was found sunken U-bot 2363 near of Lithuania coast
Nice! You start your joruney in my country, which wasn't even named on the map, lol.
coming from lots of silent hunter 3 and 4 videos, this game looks so good.
I really enjoyed the Ture and how you introduced the officers Thanks for that. I hope if you get new ppl this will continue. One point I must make, I hope you have learnt Periscope discipline. Running for any length of time with it up is foolish. Pop it up take readings fast then put it down FAST so you remain unseen. So often I see Utubers running the sims and they will leave their periscope up sometimes for hrs. Then they wonder why they get spotted so often. One guy rage quit because aircraft had him centered and he never got it. Sigh, I am excited to keep going with the series and hope to get the game soon myself. Bless and be well.
Gonna finally catch up on this series Taff! :D Great so far, looking forward to the rest. Went to see HMS Alliance in Portsmouth a few weeks ago and was absolutely fascinated by it.
Oh wow I'll defo have to get down there and have a look at her, looks amazing!
“U-31”... a good prime number. Only good luck and a successful mission await us.
I have been on a German U-boat and it was named U-505 and the torpedo's were huge.You should look it up.
U-31 was a Type VIIA U-Boat, and yes, YOUR U-31 is a Type VIIA.
"Spread your arms out and shout: MAN THE DECK GUN!!"
Gonna rewatch this series. Bring back sh5!
Great let's play mate, really helped me grasp a lot of the basics of the game and start really enjoying it.
YES! I have been missing a nice chill play-through of SH recently!
+thewwiiguy Welcome Aboard :-)
Lol am gonna now binge watch this series
Just started watching this playthrough 7 years after it has been posted. Bloody nora, would you have thought that your video would be first recommended on this game when posting this?) Well done mate, video was great!
am i the only one who finds sinking that sub satisfing ? also feel for the crews who lost theirs lives on the sea
no I loved it, sadly i didnt capture the footage very well but we might not see another sub again!
Type 7A, the German U-boats used Roman numerals for type designation.
That's weird, as even the Deutsches U-Boot Museum uses roman numerals.
dubm.de/en/type-vii/
the video that introduced me into loving U-boats in general
imagine if the Bismarck was escorted by a wolf pack of U-boats... She probably would have survived her first voyage.
maybe we will never know, at least she went to sea, poor old Turpitz only did a few short trips
That moment when you were constantly aiming way too high for the polish sub with your deck gun made me nearly jump ... :D
Very relaxing and nice series however, will definitely continue to watch.
Thankyou, glad you are enjoying it
I dont know why but i absolutly love your Careers. Yesterday i looked the Russian and the German and the British Carrer in IL2. I need more Taff XD. Greetings from Germany
Your gameplay brought me to buy this masterpiece, thanks!
Good stuff, i hope you enjoy it - Subsim is your friend www.subsim.com/radioroom/forumdisplay.php?f=244
***** I'm soooooo much enjoying this mod and the subsim community :D
When you discovered that polish ship, it was a destroyer, not a cruiser, a cruiser would be larger in size, have slighter bigger guns that would often be ( but not all the time) double barrel or more, also, cruisers usually don't carry as much torpedo as a destroyer but can have them none the less, I just wanted point point this out, I have no negative intent with this comment, it's just that I'm very passionate with naval history.
That map is pretty funny. Nord Meer and Straße von Dover are less than ideal translations.
Don't forget about "Deutche Bucht" XD
Strongground Well at least Deutsche Bucht is correct. Nord Meer is just wrong, wrong. Mind you Iverness is a weird spelling.
James Henderson how is it wrong?
a VIIA / 7A indeed. VIIB is a huge upgrade speed and mobility wise though ;w;
I'm not trying to be a d**k but the ship you were calling a crusier was actually a destroyer
its 2020 it Identifies as a cruiser..you're just racist
dik
All the time you were gunning the sub, I was thinking, screw that, the enemy is underwater and we are surfaced, expect incoming torpedo anytime!
Starting my second watch-through of you SH5 series!
Good video Taff, personally I don't mind the view perspective of the game, it's my first time seeing this game so I am interested in every aspect.
+Autofire 1979 cheers, I'm thinking of keeping it casual to begin with, if we make it to a second patrol we can alway make a few changes
The ship that fired on U-31 was a destroyer, not a cruiser, to the best of my knowledge Poland had no cruisers in World War 2. Good video none the less.
No way, Constant gaming
Just for info TAFF
On your walk around, You notice the aft torpedo tube is external? Only the VIIA had this.
Tube V was brought inside the Boat on the VIIB onward. The reason being that the external tube could not be reloaded. This allowed the VIIB to carry one extra torpedo in the aft.
Ah yes, a considerable improvement!
Looks great! Although it looks like they've stuck Edinburgh up near Dundee!
well some of the german ww2 maps were incorrect, there is one of the airfield at Duxford where they ave marked london in the complete opposite direction
You start in in memel which was demand from Lithuania right before the war
18:10 That was fucking hilarious!
Great video! I really enjoy your style of videos.
I may buy Silent Hunter 5 now...
thankyou, if you do i would recommend having a search for a boxed copy rather than the steam version
Thank you!
I got the Uplay version now, works surprisingly well (it is identical to be boxed one, I suppose).
Great fun, especially sitting on the ground of the fjord, with a British destroyer audibly going right over me by just a very few meters, while I try to line up a torpedo salvo on the Warspite.
***** new to pc gaming. why do you recommend this?
Excellent, need more more and more SH-V !
Lithuanian flag.
U-boot designations were by type and Roman numerals. VIIC is type 7 C.
Serrated edge did not work against subnets, the ragged remains would fuck up the propulsion. Provided you got through at all. They worked against WW1 nets but not WW2 nets. Cutters were removed from later boats to streamline them. I highly suggest you do not test netcutting with it. Or ramming.
Haha ok I can confirm I have no desire to cut through netting...fortunately the ones seen so far have been poorly setup and you can between them
Good vid, subscribed. Although as subsims go I'd take sh3 over this any day of the week, better interiors and much better atmosphere.
Yep I loved SH3 but I've had SH5 for so long it was about time I finally played it!
YESSSSSSSS dude I'm so happy because no I have one of my favourite TH-camrs playing this game
+Declan Healy :-) cheers
I didn't see anyone mention this, but that flag was of Lithuania.
Flickering ghosts, yeah, hard no on the haunted submarine. First it was the eyes on Silent Hunter 4 and now this.
18:06
No, spread your arms out and cue the Titanic flute.
lol I'll never let go jack!
Woops, my arm slipped. Ded
This game... I haven't played it in ages. I wanna play it now.
+Emperor Lucier I I do love a sub game every now and then :-)
I agree totally with your decision to include the Swastika. It was part of the German armed forces at the time and for my mind helps with total immersion in the game. Remember, a majority of the members of the German military were not Nazis but they had to swear an oath to serve Hitler until their death!!! It is also my experience that as a race we forget lessons learnt and have a tendency to repeat mistakes because of this. So by omitting the Swastika to be more politically correct we start to forget and this is dangerous because if Nazism comes back it will be more powerful and dangerous than it ever was. I also find it baffling that Stalin was far worse than Hitler, he killed more people, including the Jewish yet we include and accept his symbolism. Go figure.....
This looks like it's going to be a good run.. Subscribed.
+Captain Badass welcome aboard matey
Flag of Lithuania
the flak gun looks like an MG 13 also don't tell the fuhrer about the navigator's wife she looks a LOT like Eva Von Braun he might get into trouble :p
Eva was not a von Braun, she was a Braun not being related to Wernher von Braun or his family. It's actually a quite common family name in Germany. "Von" is a nobility title granted until the end of the old Empire.
Joshua Lansell-Kenny who eva von braun amersmark
The gun is a 20mm Flak 30, which is weird because the Typ VIIA, the first version of the Typ VII class of U-Boats, didn't have any kind of AA weaponry. You can clearly identify it as such because of the rear torpedo tube being on the deck above water, which makes it unusable when surfaced, and it also isn't reloadable from inside the boat. Later Typ VII versions had the tube below water, in front of and in between the dual rudders.
It could be a retrofit, but I seriously doubt that... AA retrofits weren't done before 1940. Just another little inaccuracy in SH5
If what you say is true then how do you explain U-27? It was sunk in 20 September 1939 and the article states it was outfitted with a " 2 cm (0.79 in) anti-aircraft gun" or 2 cm Flak 30 gun. " en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_submarine_U-27_(1936)#Design "
Noice hit right on the tower.
The Kriegsmarine wasn't afraid of armed merchants they were afraid of the frigates and destroyers in the convoy.
Damn this game is amazing. How have I only just started playing it
Wilhemshaven= Wilhem's Haven (Harbor)
A year late and you have probably already heard this more than enough - but at 46:25 - I believe that is a destroyer, not a cruiser
haha yes thanks :-)
I play Axis and Allies board game.
It's the global version so it's a more realistic version and a huge map.
I made a wooden ammo box to hold all the pieces, boards and markers.
I also made two dice boxes, one with the American star and one with the Nazi symbols.
I had a friend give me grief for it.
I told him it was for historic value and realistic value added to the game.
Just relax people.
Hi Taff.
Hmmm... Not sure what to say.
Even though I’ve followed the Silent Service since the beginning, I was very curious to the "games dates" in your video (Which I have to say IS good and very informative.).
Your sub left from the port of Klaipėda in Lithuania (Which, as previously stated before in comments about naming the flag, is Lithuanian!).
The date you left, is 31st August, 1939.
Germany did not invade Lithuania till 22nd June 1941. The Soviet Union had control of Lithuania from 15th June 1940 till the Nazi invasion.BTW. It is a boat, not a ship as you stated earlier on in vid. I suppose calling them U-Boats is a bit of a giveaway :-)
yeah who knows, it might have been a bad info source used by the devs or probably they have tweeks things to fit the game's overriding story
lithuania gave controll of memel (his staring area) to germany to avoid war but they were still allowed to use the port for trade and fishing which is why there were boats with the lithuanian flag.
15:44 Lithuanian flag, which is around about where your sub pen was
As you were leaving your new home port it looked like a *French* flag. As to the flag of Nazi Germany I'm a Yank from across the pond.
I am neither a millennial douche bag. If one does not remember history one is doomed to repeat it....
The u-boat is a type VIIA type 7 submarine!!.
+Mike Edwards you are correct :-)
It would appear your initial port of call is Memel.
That flag you were wondering about is the Lithuanian flag.
The flag on the ship at 15:45 is Lithuania 🇱🇹
Your starting base looks like Memel, its east prussia/lithuania
I just found your Channel on TH-cam i already love it xp
+sub
Thankyou, welcome aboard!
nice play through, excellent cut scenes!
thankyou, I'm pleased you're enjoying it :-)
Chip of the ole block? Weren't you supposed to be on a german submarine? :-D
yeah, although he does have family in England! so he says
Taff in Exile And his wife in France, lol! Awesome vid btw
That flag would be Lithuania I believe
thankyou
Yes. On the map that starting port is based in Lithuania.
great video taff,been waiting for this a while.
+Niall Meehan (castlegrogan) Cheers more action to come....as long as i survive :-p
Just a question: Didnt like the Captain at the beginning said that after the invasion of Poland the Allies declared war agains Germany and stuff? Why is the first mission being prior invasion at Danzig then?
not sure some weird story telling going on
the invasion of poland started over land at the german-polish border near frankfurt/oder.
danzig took longer to claim since it was heavily defended by the polish army as it was their only harbor.
subs were used to prevent the uk from sending convoys there and intervene in british support of the polish defenders.
I've been hyped for this series!
+stormz Welcome Aboard :-)
Sercal is a sub square in merchant and triangle is war ship know your ships!
+Samuel Stimpson this was the very first time I played it!
Taff in Exile I understand
That sub was a triton class sub
Theronstanford Stanford No it is a Type VII sub. Triton is British
I think he was referring to the enemy sub
