It is an amazing soundpack!

@@Wolfpack345 You should try the water mod as well imgur.com/a/GEKRws7

@@jeef96440506 is this soundpack still available to use?

@@jeef96440506 thank you very much, I'd like to ask you a question about this pack in a private message, can I contact you on SubSim? If so, which account?

Yeah I found this interesting while reading Iron Coffins. He discusses the same issues with Metox. I do think you are correct it is more useful during the night time. Also the hurricanes that I picked up probably didn't have radar like another comment said.

holy shit dude, you just gave me one of the best ideas. i will set things up now . you are a legend

man what did u do when you was orderer to patrol regions weeks away from port? I do like attacks and evading escorts at 1x speed nevertheless.

And if someone rings the doorbell you scream "ALAAAAAAARM!!!" , drop the tea run to the bathroom jump into the bathtub and start turning the valves.

I am pretty sure it is modeled in game. Eventually you get assess to Naxos which was able to detect Centimetric ASV radar.

@@Wolfpack345 It's modeled pretty well. Initially it did a good job, but then, quite suddenly we started getting attacked at night without any warning whatsoever. As soon as you can, upgrade to Naxos; you might also want to increase your AA suite and keep it manned when transferring reserve torpedoes. Your point on Enigma is well taken. The British 'leaked' information that they were able to home in on signal leakage from heterodyne units such as the standard German wireless and of course, Metox, in order to cover their code breaking successes. The Germans knew it was possible as they had discovered that stray leakage from various radios, even when just on but not sending, and Metox, could be detected at short ranges and developed a means of doing so. The British though knowing it was possible in theory had not developed a detection method, but the Germans fell for the miss-information which appeared in British newspapers.

@@astridingmarsdottir2400 man UK intelligence was YEARS ahead of Germans... they dig everything The RWR problem it is very well modeled, not so the Enigma Problem... U-Boats had a seccondary job as advanced weather stations, they had to transmit weather conditions to BDU every 4 hours, and since no underwater radio antenna was developed during WW2, they only could do it while in surface. So despite having a better RWR, they sill were detected by code break and they also were chased from the air due to massive allied air superiority Another problems were encountered: Snorkel, while way better than anything, Snorkel was weather limited, also, later war radars could detect it (both problems are well modeled in the game) The other problem, not really able to be modeled, was that Type VII u-boats couldn't be upgraded to some form of "underwater boat" like the Type Balaos, Trench and some Gatos subs with Guppy proyect, since they weren't that big and couldn't carry enough batteries for a more powerfull electric motor in order to provide fully submerged operation capability. They had to stick with high performance diesels along with smaller electric motors config. I do not know about type IX, but i'm pretty shure type VII's couldn't. - So, instead of an incremental upgrade on the Type VII, they had to develop an entire new submarine class from scratch, which taked a lot longer... that's the main reason why Type XXI didn't really make it to the battleground (well, that and slave labor which had some quality issues). That's why from may 1943 up to the end of the war, the u-boots couldn't really do much. They nevertheless kept sailing in order to distract and divert Allied forces in order to gain time for the rest of Germany and for themselves to came up with a solution

I remember this being pointed out to me in a previous episode. I forgot here obviously. I will shoot my magnetic torpedoes one at a time and see if I get different results! I appreciate you bringing this to my attention. What do you mean by a non-battle computer engagement?

@@Wolfpack345 Plot course and intercept with use of the computer. Manually imput deflection.

another seasoned captain here... i do have to say that i do use (Vanilla game 1.4 + GWX3 Gold) impact pistol about 90% of the time... due to several advantages: 1) it is historically accurated: since most of the u-boot captains never really trusted the mag fuse due to early war problems. By 1941 impact fuse was pretty reliable, while mag fuse became reliable only with G7e III torps (that means late 1942). 2) it can kill by flooding with no problem: 1 torp for every 5000tn or less ship, 2 for larger ships (including liberty ships), Tankers will go down with just one, they most of the times are pretty weak targets. Passenger/Cargo (2500tn) Medium Merchant (4500tn) and Grandville Type Merchant (4000tn) are a little bit tricky, since they need to take the hit in the 1st half of the ship. If they are hitted near the stern, they will mostly survive damage. 3) Reliable impact and damage: The point 2 determs RoE, and you'll know they work pretty reliable, not only fuse wise, but also what damage to expect from a given ship and a given hit. Shure, Magnetic fuse might cause a devastating blow, but they won't do it as reliable (at least with GWX 3.0) and at the end of the day you'll end up using more torps in order to ensure propper damage to be delivered. 4) Great warship killers: i've managed to sink HMS Nelson (in 1940 will replace HMS Warspite in Narvik battle during operation weserübung) in several campaigns in some of those i only managed to score 1 single impact fused torp at 5meter depth just a little to the bow of Turret 1, and it went to the bottom. I also managed to sink an Illustrious carrier with just one lucky impact fuse shot at 8km (which was pretty awesome considering it was a surface 2 torp shot with manual imput and torpedo hit at around 11km away from launch position). Nevertheless nobody on his right mind will shoot just one torp to a capital ship... u-boat commanders realistically shooted a full 4 torpedo salvo on any warship larger than a light cruiser and that's exactly what i do to be honest There's a place for magnetic fuse nevertheless: 1) to weird angled targets: if there's no time for reposition. If you are attacking a convoy inside convoy's lines, and you have the chance of a late minute stern tube shot to a merchant, then maybe the magnetic fuse will guarantee a detonation even if torpedo strikes at a really weird angle since it will detonate under the target no matter what angle did it hit. 2) to half baked ships: even if they are engine-dead, the list of a ship might produce a bounce for an impact fuse, so the best way to go is to come really close (750mtrs) and shoot a mid depth mag fused torp. 3) in extremely calm seas: if by example using the single stern tube or have only one last tube loaded and seas are really calmed, trying a magnetic fuse attack to a large ship might be a good idea, it is reasonable to risk if you already know that a single impact fuse torp won't do the job and you can reliably use the magnetic fuse. This is specially true in late war when Deck gun will be useless due to allied air coverage, and magnetic pistol will be way more reliable

Thank you!:)

That would be exciting!

It is definitely a fun area! Lots of traffic and lots of planes!

You all know what I meant!

Wolfpack345 I was just paraphrasing a funny comment I saw from a video called ‘U-boats and how to sink them’ 😂😂😂

Thanks for the tip! I actually could never get the Wolfpack features of the H. Sie hard coded fixes to work :(

Haha I seem to think so too. Everywhere I go!

Throw him overboard as a sacrificial ritual?

Thank you!

Thank you! Hopefully this series won't end any time soon.

Yeah someone else commented about it as well. I will fire my torpedoes one at a time now! It's good to know.

The torpedoes themselves are made of metal and have a magnetic field. It's not beyond reasonable for one torpedo to be detecting the other at a close following distance. So manually fired salvoes probably will be more reliable.

Indeed!

Well, kinda. They broke the original pre-war machine which had only three rotors (whose positions could be swapped) and no Steckerbrett. That provided a crucial foundation for breaking the wartime naval machines, which had more rotors and a Steckerbrett, but the greater resources of Bletchley Park and the huge British radio-interception effort were needed to finish the job. Obtaining a few captured machines and codebooks also helped a great deal.

It's not roleplay. Your crew can actually get drunk in SH3 if you use SH3 commander xD

It is a great game!

Thank you! I really appreciate it and I am glad you like the narration!

I just remember the old times when i was 5 years old and my father showed me thus epic game, its epic, but needs more people because i check for multiplayer and there's no any server. There should be more people

It sure is!

Oh yes. I play WoT a lot, but this is the game I turn to when I just cannot handle bad game play by random teams.

Haha the game has a habit of doing that!

Thanks for watching!

Yeah I actually thought about that after I recorded the episode and was editing it. A very good point.

Correct. The first single-engined aircraft with ASV radar was the Fairey Swordfish Mk.III biplane, which entered service in late 1943. The radome was between the (fixed) landing gear, so the Swordfish III carried 8 underwing rockets for armament. It also had a flare gun to light up its target. Beware of (previously mostly harmless) Swordfish biplanes from mid-1943 onwards! In mid-1944, the slow old Swordfish was supplemented by the faster Fairey Barracuda Mk.III monoplane, with the same ASV Mk.XI radar.

Yeah the type VII boats definitely are more nimble.

Yeah you can be in a Type II. I have played them by myself but never in a KZfaq series. Definitely something I want to do :)

Yeah I know! Mother nature seems to hate me.

I'm sure I will encounter a hunter killer group in the future.

It sure is.

Lots of that in this episode..

I didn't change anything from my last videos unless it was by accident lol!

Happy Hunting!!

Right, there were a number of reasons why U-boat losses to air attack went up: 1: Enigma decryption was intermittently a good source of intelligence, so convoys could be vectored away from planned hunting zones in advance, and hunters sent in. 2: HF/DF regularly succeeded in locating U-boats when they reported to BdU, even just a brief acknowledgement of some message from the latter. See above for the response. 3: Centimetric radar was mounted on aircraft, which the Metox detector couldn't detect, but was actually better at finding submarines than the older metre-band radars. 4: Dedicated ASW aircraft patrols were introduced, such as the famous "Tsetse" variant of the Mosquito, which could detect a surfaced U-boat at night from a distance through the clouds using centimetric radar, then *turn off the engines* and glide to an attacking position, upon which they would turn on a searchlight and fire what amounted to an anti-tank gun at the newly highlighted target. This was extremely lethal and effective, and gave the target no chance to respond. 5: Disinformation campaigns led the Germans to believe that Metox was still the correct tool, but flawed. In fact the emissions were present but too weak to use. Other radar-related disinformation was the myth (still widely quoted today) that carrots are good for night vision.

@@Kromaatikse Any cases where the Tsetse couldn't restart its engines again in the air?

@@herrakaarme Not that I'm aware of. With two engines, being able to start even one would be enough to get home, and a windmill start is generally easier than starting on the ground.

Thanks!

@@Wolfpack345 no no thank you

Great! Congratulations!

Should have broke it's back with a detonation right under the keel. Should have broke in half in reality.

There should be a keybind to do it. Like Shift+t I think. I am using ARB GUI though.

It's a really fun game!

@@Wolfpack345 yeah, but when I saw what you gotta get through to download it for Windows 10, with all the mods and addons, I kinda lost hope.

All of the mods are in the description

The soundpack does use a lot of lines from Das Boot, and yes the emergency dive is entirely taken from that drill scene in the movie.

@@KermitTheGamer21 After forgetting I'd posted this comment and going on to watch both the cinematic edition and the extended director's cut, I realise how obvious this comment was. Thanks for the reply :)

To be honest Sh3 and Sh4 play very similarly. Sh5 is still a mess imo even with mods.

Haha thanks!

@@Wolfpack345 i really gotta say.. "Cool Vid" doesn't sum it up... just happened to stumble onto your channel randomly and am really loving the series! Perfect to relax to and watch after a long day at work. The Intro's make it feel like i am watching a TV show, and I appreciate you editing out all the travel time. Keep up the excellent work and keep making these Great Vids!! Subbed. =)

I just saw this and I really appreciate it! It means alot to know that people are really enjoying these videos.

Subsim. Com

ARB GUI

It was all new tech. They couldn't think of anything else that would have caused the increase in Uboats sunk.

Ohhh boy

Hahaha I thought it was funny

Wolfpack345 pretty cool the mod makers came up with stuff like that, and yeah what a way to get arrested xD

It is no longer supported by Ubisoft. It's not too difficult to get running though. Just have to run in windows compadability mode.

I use silent Hunter 3 Commander and with that program all sorts of things can happen to them lmao

@@Wolfpack345 wanted to post a question which version/mods you were playing. I recognize the game i played, but not totally haha

What I find weird about that is if he was arrested for a simple charge such as public drunkenness...this is wartime! Wouldn't he be allowed to be released to the ship for the upcoming patrol?
