Nicely done - this game seems to have done a good job of balancing realism with the reality of a functional crew of one. It does require mastery of the basic concepts, and you have done a good job with that. Another commenter mentioned realism levels: 1. Radar - if this is early war the Brits probably would not have had it. 2. Asdic - they should, however, have had the active (pinging) sonar. Although it was limited in range. 3. On the surface in daylight - that is a bit troubling. The Mark 1, Mod 0 eyeball was fully functional. A periscope might escape detection, but a conning tower? (To be sure, the light was not perfect.)

Around the time this game came out I was 8 or 9 years old. My dad bought it for me and we managed to get it to run on his old PC. I can say with confidence I had absolutely no clue what I was doing in the slightest, but I loved the game so much anyway. I would chase down convoys from the surface and fire at them with free hand torpedoes, praying that one would hit while I tried shooting ships with my guns until I ran out of ammunition and inevitably sunk. Sometimes I would try plan something out but because I had no clue how to properly launch an assault I would fail every time. Yet I still loved the game so much. Sometimes I'd surface and stand on top of my U-boat as captain, staring out into the ocean and simply enjoying the virtual view. This video reminded me of those days 7 or 8 years ago, in a way that was made perfectly. You built up so much suspense while I prayed your torpedos would hit, just like I did many years ago. Excellent video, thank you for sharing.

I like your voice too, but the loud plosives (the loud "pops" one hears everytime a "P" type of sound is made) are extremely annoying. You should either use some kind of sound-softening filter in front of your mic, or remove the plosives in post-processing/editing. There's even preset filter for this very purpose in Sound Forge.

Excellent tutorial and I had to keep reminding myself that this was “just a game”! The main reason for that is that my father served in the Royal Navy on a destroyer protecting the North Atlantic convoys and was actually torpedoed twice within 24 hrs. He lost a lot of good friends and it used to upset him to talk about it. (Which was very very rarely) He was also at Normandy and after the war served in India. I couldn’t watch or play this without thinking of him. I lost him 13 years ago at 80. My hero.

I'm disappointed UbiSoft hasn't improved these games. There was so much potential. A couple things this "old salt" noticed. First, the clouds are moving one direction, but the smoke is moving in a drastically different direction? Bah! Next, I guarantee that the destroyers and other ships (not "boats"!) would be pinging with active sonar, not listening passively. They should have been all over you in short order. One the other hand, I'd admire your game play, narration and explanation! Well done!

Also one would never keep periscope up during an attack. It would be too dangerous and risking detection. What one would do is to lift the periscope and take the readings and lowering immediately. Doing this for every reading would greatly reduce the risk of detection. The game is either very unrealistic or you are playing on easy level settings. The freighter was only a few cables away and should easily have detected the scope as it was on full elevation during daytime.

I spent many hours playing Silent Service on my Commodore 64 as well, running around the South Pacific terrorizing convoys. My father was a Submariner, albeit much later than WW2, and on a boomer instead of an attack sub. He still had input for me playing the game, as I was a young child and didn't understand some concepts at first such as leading targets and some other aspects of submarines.

There have been various videos that have been released, but I have got to say watching this one has blown away has got to be the most comprehensible whilst being presented in such a logical straightforward manner.

As a german, the scenario is somewhat confusing and frightening, especially with all the mods and darn swastikas, but this early scenery and aspects of submarinery with it's fast development and technological boundaries on the brink to microtechnology and digitalisation are a perfect fit for thrilling gaming.

@@dondec Thanks again, Don, for this actual tutorial. The last game I played was silent Hunter 3. (I just now finished a new computer build after 15 years). I never really got into the depths of playing silent Hunter 2 or 3, except for some mission builders, but with silent Hunter 5, you explained it well, in this actual tutorial example. I'm going to see if I can reinstall silent Hunter 3, in the new computer, then check out the newer, subsequent versions. Thanks again Don, for your educational tutorial!

This video is seriously good, even the gameplay of this game is boring you are doing a great job to make it more alive for the viewers. I am interested in all sort of WW2 stuff and have a fair knowledge to conclude that this is one of the best simulation gameplay I ve ever seen. good luck.

One funny technique I use in this game is to get so close alongside a ship below water that it's guns can't depress to hit me-then suddendly surface and dive which results in the entire convoy opening fire which by then I'm back below water and the ship next to me gets blown apart by gunfire. I know it's absurd but it works-I had a carrier blown out of the water this way by about 7 destroyers.

I really enjoyed your enunciation and oratory. Hardly any youtubers speak so clearly and carefully. I haven't played silent hunter since the grey wolves days. I also like to watch the targets slip beneath the waves as they flood. I did buy silent hunter 5 a long time ago, but found it unplayable for some reason. Also I notice they don't model the lifeboats around the sinking targets. I always wanted to play a late war campaign with the type 21, supposing that they deployed it a year earlier. Thanks for posting this video.
@dondec 5 жыл бұрын
You know, type 21 is sort of a sweet thing! I think Germany spent so much time debugging the new tech that only 5 or something were actually made. But haha, I'd love to try that too. Thanks for checking in.

That was excellent! I agree with all the comments regarding the voice, calm, etc. As a combat veteran my heart races at the thought of sitting in the middle of a military convoy, only 700 meters from a carrier! Those U-boat crews had balls of steel and deserved their Knight's Crosses!!

The last Silent Hunter game I played was 2 I think. There was an option to only have the visibility options that the actual crews would have, meaning there were no 'exterior' views or other aids to help you see exactly where your targets, or enemies were. There was also a section in the back of the manual (remember those) that suggested if you wanted to simulate a 'real' patrol and have the same odds of finding a convoy, you should get a deck of cards and draw one every time the game said you'd encountered something. If you drew anything other than a picture card, you were to ignore that encounter as a false contact.

The horror of seeing and hearing a ship dying...its agony, its might turned into nothing but metal sinking to the ground in minutes, the bow sticking out of the water as a memorial of man's both ingenious and destructive mind, finally giving in and covered by the endless tears of the sea. Touching and yet we have to sink these ships. Well done.

Nice gameplay tutorial and exposé. You have a good voice for exposition-maybe you should voice documentaries!

Havent played it but the game looks very detailed and thorough even though it is a bit old now.

Hey Kenji, really enjoyed your thoughtful comment. I've gotten quite a few posts regarding my voice "...you should be doing documentaries" is a common thread. The other is "... your voice is on par with David Attenborough". Hehe... who knew my voice could inspire such comments! Anyway, thanks again for the message and for checking things out.
