Mostly it looks pretty good, except that the real thing is more cramped than the model would lead one to believe. But, that's probably because of the missing wall makes it seem less closed in. Also, if I'm remembering the type IX in Chicago correctly, the interior hull was painted in a pretty bright shade of white.
Actually there is a mod around that mimicks the interior of the movie "Das Boot". Having that installed gives especially in first person another touch to the game and leaves the vanilla state a good way behind
This may be old news, but at 29:35 or about that time when you mention morale. You have the skipper and an engineer in their bunks with 2 sailors each assigned. They contribute only to increase loss of morale due to “too much work from officers”’. Release them and that message would disappear. :)
Hi Wolf, the reason those destroyers heard you was because your electric dive planes were active. you have to have an engineer right click on the dive planes and switch to manual. If you have the tool tip to tell you how much noise they make, they're louder than the motors at even medium speeds. The game does a terrible job showing that though.
@@johnnyboy5405 Dive planes are bassically fins on the side of submarines that allow the crew to angle the submarine while diving or surfacing, so they can use the actual engines to increase the rate of accension or descent instead of relying entirely on the ballast tanks.
Extra water buildup in the bilge can happen if the crew doesn't keep the hatch leading to the conning tower closed. Something to keep an eye on from time to time I've noticed.
@ahahah so you're denying that leftists would condemn this game as some sort of "Nazi Mass Murder Simulator" if it were mainstream. Must be nice to live in your sheltered little world. Weirdo, indeed.
@@visionist7 You're being far too dramatic. Sure, someone would say it was a Nazi Mass Murder Simulator, but the people who panic about the moral content of video games never accomplished anything even before they were confined to the fringe. Far more important is the fact that subsims are niche; not everyone is interested in WWII sub technology, creeping around slowly, and fiddling with torpedo solutions.
The destroyers would conduct a box search after the ships were torpedoed. When you altered to the East they went past you then altered course to head E and South. The AI is pretty accurate.
When you right-click a leak you can choose two options: to repair it or to limit its flow by 90% (hand icon). So by assigning two officers to one leak you can repair it and prevent heavy flooding.
Would be pretty sweet if that escort ship was really picking up survivors! I hope the developers added that into the simulator, would make it so much more realistic
The enemy destroyer most likely heard you using the electric depth rudder. Using the manual rudder reduces sound. Also, if you want to close hatches permanently, you have to "evacuate" a section. To do this, press the green circle next to the electric and bilge control buttons. Concerning discipline: You should not assign seamen to officers who have no job for them (Yellow crew icon next to officer's portrait) as this will still count as "too much work from officers"

A tip from a fellow SeaWolf. When using that course finder I always lock the ship into my scope, click the center button at the top of the screen and it brings it into the centre of their ship, and then I enter the course calculator. Just thought I'd mention it, good video though, Heil Heir Kohler!
@@mikecheques3833 2020, nerd is not an insult. Calling someone a nerd is just calling them more educated than yourself. Congratulations of calling yourself dumber than the OP. Idiot. Now that's an insult.
When assigning extra crew to your officers they can only help if the box is green. Those tan boxes means that they are assigned to help but aren't doing anything, green means assigned and actually assisting. Edit: For example, assigning more people to warm a torpedo does nothing because it's a one person job but loading a torpedo gets done faster with the extra helpers.
Watching the game play and humming "569 makes the contact and lead them, U-94 scores a kill in the dark. 124 sinking four in two approaches, 406 suffers failure on launch." Sabaton and wolfpack that is.
Good video. A couple of glaring historical inaccuracies though by the developers. 1. There were no neutral ships in convoy. If they were in convoy they were legitimate targets. Neutral ships had their own shipping lanes and ran with lights on. 2. Visual distance for periscopes at night was extremely short and Very seldom used. That is why u-boats attacked on the surface at night. If a night surface attack cannot be done in the game it indicates that visual sighting of u-boats is not well modeled. They were extremely hard to see due to small size and low profile. Just a couple points from a realism nerd...
3:00 -- RE: "They really need something between 48x and 1800x ... " -- Gee, I dunno! The major problem of time compression is that there are multiple ways to consider the "ticks" as it were, and time compression schemes are almost as various as attempts at a submarine simulation or game. Consider -- we can use (A) exponents, or (B) factors of 10, or (C) COMMON FACTORS. I added the emphasis there to make it clear, I know where I'm going. (A) Exponential method is usually to raise or lower the exponent to change the time rate. Thus, if we're using seconds, it's 1 second, 2 second, 4 second, 8 second, 16 second, 32 second increments. Notice, after 5 levels, 1 second is approximately half a minute, so that after 6 levels, the game effectively replaces seconds for minutes. And, after another 6 levels (ie. 2 ^ 12) the same will happen for hours and minutes. Arguably, this is the best method for naval simulations as well, because of the relationship between nautical miles and minutes of longitude. The downside, though, is that this is the most computationally intensive. (B) Factors of 10 are not as useful for time compression, because 10x10 seconds is almost 2 minutes. (The previous example has an hour which is 4096 compressed ticks; an hour only needs 3600.) This is *not* as computationally expensive, but it has a much larger margin of error due to the compression. (C) And so, what's the relationship between 48 and 1800? Check them as fractions of 3600. Quite obvious that 1800 is half an hour, (60x60)/2; and moreover, if I am to divide 75 by 2, I don't get a whole number but a neat-o fraction, 37.5 . Funny stuff, converting between Nautical Miles and Kilometers also ends up on this same string of numbers. 10 NM is 18.52 kilometers; 20 NM = 37.04 km.
I got curious about (A): 2^11 + 2^10 + 2^ 9 = 3584, only 16 ticks shy of 3600... or 2^4. Also, it bears mentioning that to get a tick of 1, I need to use 2^0 as the "baseline" tick/time rate, and all changes make sense from there, up or down. Below 0 is even possible for slow motion.
I really enjoy Uboat..... The music, the graphics, just the feel of it all.... It just makes you feel like your there. I hope they keep working on this game...expanding the map and ports, missions, anything they can think of. Plus, I enjoy your videos...I also make videos, but they are uncut, one shot, do or die, low budget channel ...lol I don't know whats happening, which is why I like your videos... you also do them in 1 take....So, in turn, you also, don't know whats going to happen either.... Love IT!!!! Good job.. keep it up.
It's typically good to have a few firing solutions worked out before you fire anything off. The moment the first torp hits, all the other ships start taking evasive manoeuvres. Best to have everything timed to hit almost simultaneously.
Imagine this: crew of sunken ship, on a dinghy, swims up to the subs periscope, hits with something hard or shoots the glass with a pistol. Periscope gets disabled, sub cannot fire any more torpedoes, convoy is saved.
Wasnt that the original plan on the us east coast in the first world war - a group of strong men in a fishingboat try to destroy the periscope with heavy hammers?
The moral drag for "too much work" is also created when sailors are assigned to officers that do not have a task. So if they are browned out, consider de-assigning them.
why am i watching this right before I go to bed with literally no knowledge about uboats lol. You managed to keep me here for the whole video though so cheers to that
You're very experienced with the controls these days. Have you released a tutorial for the beginners? I'd like to suggest firing at your targets starting at the furthest one from your boat, then the next closest one and so on, the object being to have your torpedoes arrive at the same moment so no zig zagging is underway and the destroyers get no warning you're there until it's too late and you're already escaping. I admire your coolness under fire. cheers!
Fantastic comment! Also, adjusting the speed of the torpedoes to help simultaneous impacts is another tool in the submariners tool belt. The U-Boat is an ambush predator after all...when surprise is lost, depth charges drop.
When the destroyers drop their charges (if they dont hit you) haul ass they cant hear you for a while because of the noise of the charge going through the water. I dont know if that is figured in the game but thats how it is in real life
I had just read about this in a book called twenty million tons under the sea. It was written by a man who fought in the battle of the Atlantic and he said that after a depth charge attack the attacking destroyer would be basically blind for 15 minutes while the reverberations settle down
how underrated is this game? you seem to be the only one active content creator i have found on youtube. everyone only seem to have videos about it from a year ago. found only 3 twitch streamers when i checked. does the game only have a few content? or just hard to play? well anyway im subscribing either way. hope to see more of this!
Hey Wolfpack! Another fun video, thank you! I just got this game, along with a few mods and am learning the ropes. I think this game has lots of potential and I say that knowing that I still have a learning curve to work through. Any thoughts on what you'd like to see integrated into the game? I think some more crew 'automation' here and there to help with some of the more mundane aspects (turning lights on and off) and a few other things are coming to mind. Also, a command for silent running would be good, but wasn't sure if I was just missing that since I'm new or not. Keep up the good work!
I wish they'd update the AI in this game. Friendly AI is reminiscent of the AI in The Sims 1, where they'd stand still, crying, because their bowels were about to explode because you hadn't explicitly told them to go to the toilet. And I've seen enemy AI in Uboat sink itself by crashing into me, other Allied vessels, drive straight into the concrete structures of ports as if the port isn't there, and even strand themselves on the ports. Also, there seems to be no negative to being detected by port defences as the port doesn't communicate with patrols, or even mobilise the ships in harbour. I love the game but, my god, once you figure out the enemy AI, you can dance circles around them.
I started your youtube channel 4 days ago with uboat, then go deep in your silent hunter 3 series (half the patrol 8 of the IX I guess) then come back here. Whaou, such a graphic shock ! I'm sad silent hunter seem more "easy" to handle than uboat
Hey Wolf do you have a video of a hunt with the manual firing solution off? Can you believe I am struggling to put my officers to do the job. Started to play less than a week ago. Thanks for your help😊
Like your videos. Only thing that drives me crazy is you never just stop and wait for the ships to come to you. You always are moving pretty fast forward and end up having to reverse or turn. set up in front of the convoy and let them come to you with your engines off.
Game looks good. Only thing is that's annoying is the lack of effects upon impact from the deck gun, so it's hard to tell whether the gun is hitting or not until after smoke or fire comes up on the ship moments later. This makes immediate shot adjustments a shot in the dark. Kinda surprised they missed that detail.
Preheating torpedoes, ability to run electric motors on surface. Elektrisch Aal (German: eel) cannot be left in a cold for long. Low temperature drains batteries. UBOAT has some features both SH III & IV even with mods lack. Quite nifty. Edit: Plus, the ability to pick up cargo from the ship(s) that foundered. Poles are really trying their best. Not sure what blue illumination supposed to represent, though. I've seen them in few sub movies (Das Boot being one of them).
Blue lights were and are used on submarines since their dawn. Its prefered to use them when enhanced vision of maps, charts and screens is needed. It decreases the strain on the eyes and its easier to see. There is no glare on screens and contrast on paper is better. So its mostly used in attack states where submarines are submerged for a longer time (ww2 subs because 10h was a longer time for them, modern subs can stay years submerged and computers are doing the charting and shooting)
@@hamzajas1532 Not quite accurate, in the game Red lights are used at night to get the crew better attuned to the darkness. It improves their target solution and spotting. Blue light is used for silent running and reduces oxygen usage.
This looks like an interesting game. Did you ever radio in your sunk ship report? You talked about it while submerged, but I don't recall you actually doing it once you surfaced.
he did at the end. buy the game at steam, in my country it was $220ARS that would be $2USD, and its pretty good still in development so new stuff will be added
The interior of the submarine is so beautify modled in this game!
It is really nice! The game is fantastic graphically.
Mostly it looks pretty good, except that the real thing is more cramped than the model would lead one to believe. But, that's probably because of the missing wall makes it seem less closed in.

Thank you, you just saved me one hell of a headache
*U-boat engineer ghost reading this*
"Fuck! I didn't right click the dive planes!"
Ah yes. Uboat ace
Wouldn't be a wolfpack episode without depth charges and a crash dive lol
That's for sure!
Probably when off camera
Extra water buildup in the bilge can happen if the crew doesn't keep the hatch leading to the conning tower closed. Something to keep an eye on from time to time I've noticed.
Good to know. I'll look for that in the future.

Like your videos. Only thing that drives me crazy is you never just stop and wait for the ships to come to you. You always are moving pretty fast forward and end up having to reverse or turn. set up in front of the convoy and let them come to you with your engines off.
This gameplay reminds me of the movie called Greyhound.
Watch Das Boot (1981) if you want a really good U-Boat movie
How do You have those extra buttons when pressing "TAB"? Is is an addon?
i think its a mod, and the big convoy too i think. i didnt see any convoy that big in the little time i play( i bought it 2 days ago)

Preheating torpedoes, ability to run electric motors on surface. Elektrisch Aal (German: eel) cannot be left in a cold for long. Low temperature drains batteries. UBOAT has some features both SH III & IV even with mods lack. Quite nifty.
Edit:
Plus, the ability to pick up cargo from the ship(s) that foundered. Poles are really trying their best.
Not sure what blue illumination supposed to represent, though. I've seen them in few sub movies (Das Boot being one of them).
Blue lights were and are used on submarines since their dawn. Its prefered to use them when enhanced vision of maps, charts and screens is needed. It decreases the strain on the eyes and its easier to see. There is no glare on screens and contrast on paper is better. So its mostly used in attack states where submarines are submerged for a longer time (ww2 subs because 10h was a longer time for them, modern subs can stay years submerged and computers are doing the charting and shooting)
@@hamzajas1532 Not quite accurate, in the game Red lights are used at night to get the crew better attuned to the darkness. It improves their target solution and spotting. Blue light is used for silent running and reduces oxygen usage.
@@Ganymede1986 I served in the german navy in an Type 206 submarine as a navigator.
@@hamzajas1532 I understand, I was referring specifically to the effects the lights have in the game.
@@Ganymede1986 Oh, that was maybe so in ww2, my father served in a type VII sub in ww2, he said that it was f*ckung awfull lol.
Can you tell me what your PC Specs are on this?
Dive planes! Switch to manual. Electric is loud.
Jawohl Herr Kaleun!
can they hear the water pumps?
In this game, can we set solution on multiple targets and then launch the torpedoes at them on the same time?
Love the videos. And really enjoy world of warships but was thinking of getting this game would you recommend it?
Kool game subscribed
what mods are you using here ?
Like's Greyhound film
This looks like an interesting game. Did you ever radio in your sunk ship report? You talked about it while submerged, but I don't recall you actually doing it once you surfaced.
he did at the end. buy the game at steam, in my country it was $220ARS that would be $2USD, and its pretty good still in development so new stuff will be added
Sabaton feeling.
Wolfpack, what speaks against attacking a destroyer?
Love the vids, subbed!
Statistically speaking in World War II it was safer to be a kamikaze pilot than a crew member on a German U-Boat
The escort wasn’t picking up enemy survivors. The escort was escorting then…right? Am I missing something?
There is a mod to add a TDC is very well modeled and is compatible with b127
When you are getting the distance you have to go up with the E button, not down with the Q button.
Loved the Silent Hunter games. Do you think I’d enjoy this? It doesn’t seem as clostraphobic as SH though.
I can’t get over how much echo there is inside the uboat lol sounds like a cave
Why not a night surface attack?
this is good shit mate
